2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

And for that price WoW offers 65? character slots, while RS offers the whole 1.

Tbf to Jagex. An RS or OSRS character doesn't need an alt in the same way you need to be able to have different builds in WOW.

Yes, in RS your character is a jack of all trades. People who make alts in RS do it for an ironman char or for money/item making and drops.

Ff14 also lets you play all classes in one character but they still let you make alts.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly can't comprehend why anyone would make alts aside from access to additional retainers for free and maybe playing across data centers, but playing the main story is a fucking GRAND EPIC ADVENTURE that takes about 200 goddamn hours. You will literally never run out of things to do on one character in ff14. Ever.

Pedantic aside joke: "takes about 200 gd hours" immediately says "YOU WILL NEVER RUN OUT OF THINGS TO DO - EVER"

I get that that's way out of context, I just thought it was funny. Okbaiiiiii~

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago

200 hours was in reference to the main storyline.

There are also side quests, guild quests for dozens of different skills, and all sorts of other activities beyond questing. Plus several expansions. You really won't ever run out of things to do in FFXIV...

Has WoW actually become alt friendly in the recent expansions?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It wasn't even main friendly back when I quit.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

Right, hence my question — 65 character slots doesn't really mean much if you'll only ever have the time to play one.
