As you all know, I am playing way to many characters and this is becoming a problem because I have become guilty of metagaming knowledge. It's gotten to the point where I might have to make a new account. But if I do this, I won't be playing my old account, So all my currents will be there to die. This may seem drastic, but I feel like I have to do something or I won't be able to stay on a single character.

Now, should I make a new account and let all my currents die?

I'd say it is dependant upon your character's involvement in plots. If you dump a bunch of characters in the middle of something they're vital for, I'm sure people will gouge your eyes out and devour them. If not, though, I'd say that it's something to do if you're metagaming information.

Toodle pip.

If you feel that you need to clear your head, either this new account or perhaps a short break would be recommendable. Playing several characters at once is something I've rarely done, but I know just playing one character who is involved in a large number of complicated plots can mean lots of stress.

If you absolutely cannot handle playing all of these characters without metagaming knowledge between them, then you should do something drastic.

Making a new account shouldn't change anything. Just stick to one character and you'll be fine. If you feel you can't play them how you'd like to, take a break, see the sun, it might be good for you. >.>

Actually...

I did the very thing for almost the same reason, and it's working out well so far. The other alternative I tried, which also worked, was to grab a DM to delete some characters that I would randomly log in and play on, but couldn't ever get anything done on because I didn't devote any worthwhile time to them.

Or you can just force yourself to play one out to the bitter end. When you get bored of him, maybe you should take a break from EfU like many of us do.

Lastly, you don't necessarily have to let your current characters die. I've got a character right now that I've played on and off since March (Taor el Ghasael for the curious) and I think he has been a moderately successful character who has just gone through two very drastic life changes. I already have a good idea of what I want to do with him next in the third chapter.

So there are other options.

There can be only one Thomas.

AND IT'S NOT ALQVIN, BABY!

Oo-oo-OO-OO no, Thomas, please don't go.

Thomas dont go also heres an idea. Simply kill off some of your chars if you have to much! Make them do something like Perma when they die on a quest. Or Perma when they die. Or make them commit suicide.

reasons to commit suicide.

You want to escape from the underdark and you believe death is the only way out.

2 Your to stressed out.

3 You think your life has no purpose.

Anyway dont be a wimp Thomas Be manly! With a M
