Alts... What a.... almost good-ish thing. Anyways, I always see around 129 people online, and 240+ characters online....
Very annoying, expecially when you got a slow internet.... I think that there should be a limit on online characters.... It slows down the server..... I play Starcraft with less lag. >.<

My internet connection is very temperamental. Usually I have a fairly good connection, with my awesome 56k dial up 
I do agree with the Alts part. I think there should only be 1 alt allowed to play. Possibly 2, but that seems pointless to me.
I believe, as I have said on other topics about this that an Alt restriction should only come into play when the classes are balanced. They all have numerous abilties. Also they are able to be used for a long time in the wild and survive.
For instance, a mage goes to the desert with his pots and mana. 5 mins later he's got to run back to another town to buy more etc etc.

I have a lush internet connection, and I reckon an alts limit needs to be put in. Alts by no measure accounts for skill.

I'd love to see a one alt max, but I think it'd need to be two just to aid with switching equipment, however, if this was put in I'd also like to see the party commands changed to stop people inviting alts into their party. They'd still be able to trade equipment around but it would stop them from abusing it as much.

Also Tracking alts would have to be included too. I agree Harky. It would be nice too see how many of the players fair without their Alt Armies.

You'd think so, but everyone else would only have 1 alt. So you'd be in the same situation. Also more teamwork would be shown throughout the game.

I disagree with this, because of the fact several classes would be rendered useless and the idea of training would pretty much end. I mean how do you go to the museum or desert and train with 1 alt...not a very good idea.

Go with friends or something, it'll give people a chance to actually interact with the other players for a change.
I started making a list of all the good things that will come out of this suggestion if it's implemented, but I deleted them all because it's pointless if you really don't see the obvious benefits to it yourselves.

I was under the impression an alt limit of 3 was acceptable and was going to be implemented 'the next update', but conveniently got forgotten about (or disregarded).
I’m in support of the 2 alt limit (for trading equip) - as I have been since it was first suggested.

Also on the note of classes being completely useless. That is why if this idea is implemented, there would need to be restructuring of monster hp's. Also possiblly players hp's and damage inflicted.
Then mana usage would need to be changed. Then more abilities would be needed for the various classes so they dont just 'sit and click'. Which makes the game very boring.
If all this was changed I think it would lead to a better game.
Which isnt solely run by alts, meaning that there is no skill in running about with 10 alts online at the same time. Teamwork is something you see very little of.

This alt limit thing is stupid! For players who have worked so hrd and so long to get lots of alts, then all of a sudden they can only use 2 at a time. Training would be so, so boring, at the moment you can get back round and your stamina is back. With two alts this would mean you would have to wait for stamina. And gold getting would be so hard. For players who already have 10mill this is ok but how is anyone gonna catch them if it still takes them a while to kill a Sand Spider?
