Maric, as a non-player I don't really blame you for being too lazy to read everything in detail. To sum it up, I'm not using alts. I did use an alt at the start for a different reason, and then got a bit distracted and did something kinda bad that started all of this and at that point I realised it was a pretty lame thing to do, apologized, punished myself in a way that I think any reasonable person would consider suitable, and have used my main since then. This was of course a stupid thing to do, and the right thing to do would have been to blame someone else. Anyway, it gets a bit more confusing because the game uses a kind of permadeath, a new character can inherit some stats from the previous character but is allowed to use a new name, and one of the staff has stated the intent that in a future version, dead player names will be unavailable so reincarnated characters will have to use new names. Because of this, I personally think it's ok to use this feature now, even though it's not forced yet. However, others believe that until that feature is enforced, we should live the opposite way, which would probably be more acceptable in other games. It's another grey area, I guess, but although I've been under different names, the characters I've used since the initial regrettable incident have always been what I would consider my main character.
EDIT: BTW, come and play! Why are you a non-player?
