  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.

    Main, Ironman and a few different PvP builds? €50/month +

    The only thing that kind of saves it is being able to buy bonds, but you’ll need a constant flow of cash for that.

    Yes, in RS your character is a jack of all trades.

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

      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.

        Posting the main quest just to get to the latest raid content is literally what is stopping me from returning lol. And that’s just a tenth of the campaign at this point probably

        You’ll run out of things you want to do eventually

        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~

      You have to pay for them though right. The base only lets you have 1 character.

      But only nerds have more than 1

  Has WoW actually become alt friendly in the recent expansions?

  source

  • Blackmist@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

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

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

        The Warbands system does make it better. Though, like anything I’m sure it isnt perfect for everyone.

  And WoW offers an API for plugins like boss assistants.

  • x00z@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Well OSRS has teamed up with RuneLite which also offers an API.
