I have a main. An undead warlock that I've been playing for over 19 years, and never seriously wavered. And I still can't stop rolling alts. Both of those things are true, and if that sounds like a contradiction, welcome to my armory page. The 52 characters that I leveled to max in War Within Here's how it goes. I'll be perfectly happy on the warlock, chipping away at whatever the current thing is, and then I'll see a class and race combo that I don't have, or a class gets reworked, or Blizzard releases a new class or a new allied race or something. Next thing I know I've got yet another character plugging along towards max level. I've leveled the same early zones so many times I could quest them with the monitor off. And that eventually ends up being true for the leveling process for each expansion. And it has gotten completely insane. Going into midnight I had 52 different max level characters. I hadn't been anywhere close to that since Battle for Azeroth, where I think I finished with 43. And it's spread across everything. The most of a particular class that I have is warlock at 7 and hunter at 6, druid at 5 and then every other class is either 3 or 4. Evoker only has 2 at max level, but I had started a third and was working on it when midnight dropped. So 53 alts in total. The honest reason isn't that I want to master every class. I'm not chasing anything. It's that a fresh character is a fresh start with no baggage. No half-finished reputations, no bags full of stuff I'm afraid to vendor, no sense that I'm behind. Level one is clean. Level one is possible. There's something genuinely relaxing about being bad at the game again on purpose. It's also just that I honestly enjoy the leveling process and it fits in well with my schedule and my play time these days. The catch is that spreading yourself across dozens of characters means none of them are ever quite where they should be. I've felt behind on my own main because I was off playing pretend on a rogue I wasn't even enjoying that much. That's the altoholic tax, and I've paid it for years. Which is exactly why the current plan is warlock-only. Renown, delves, events, world bosses, all of it on the one character, alts parked. It's the most disciplined I've been about this game in a decade, and I give it maybe even odds of surviving the next class patch. The itch doesn't really go away. You just negotiate with it. That's it for now! Cheers! Joar
