I kind of like that title; it's one of those things that may sound vaguely dirty or sanctimonious, but it's really a reference to leveling alts.
If there's one thing I've made abundantly clear while writing for Parallel Context, it's that I'm not that much of an altoholic. I think the most toons I've created on one server for a single MMO has been one of each class for SWTOR because I wanted to see each class story*, and WoW hasn't even come close to matching that.
No, several Cardwyns out there don't count, because there's only 6-7 of them out there (2 are placeholders to reserve the name on other servers), and 2 of them are effectively the same toon (the one I saved on Era and the one that progressed into TBC and then Wrath Classic).
So if you know anything else about me, I tend to play one or two toons at a time, and that's that. I'm not one to have a toon for every profession, and my completionist streak is kind of limited to within a specific toon rather than having one of everything.
For the 20th Anniversary WoW servers, I was presented with a conundrum: how do I slow down my leveling to the pace I want without letting FOMO get in the way?
Or to put it more bluntly, how do I play on the WoW Anniversary servers with my friends without coming off as an asshole for not rushing through leveling?

This isn't even all of them; more like half. |
I went and created a ton of alts. Well, for me they're a ton, anyway.
*I've been a very bad boy, as I still haven't finished the Imperial Agent's class story yet.
**There were already two toons at L60 as of late Tuesday/early Wednesday, which is kind of nuts. Those players must not have slept since the servers opened on Thursday the 21st. Given my age, I have to wonder just what the hell the point is, because I doubt anybody is ever going to remember who these players were, but that's just me.
