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
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…
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.
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. 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.

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~
200 hours was in reference to the main storyline.

You have to pay for them though right. The base only lets you have 1 character.
But only nerds have more than 1
And WoW offers an API for plugins like boss assistants.
Well OSRS has teamed up with RuneLite which also offers an API.
Finally
Has WoW actually become alt friendly in the recent expansions?
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.
