    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.

        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

          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.

            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…

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

        But only nerds have more than 1
