What Level to Start an Alt?

[Arakash]

What level do most folks on P99 start playing an alt seriously?

I've been on this server for over a year (I think) but I don't play as much as I'd like, so my necro is still in his mid 30's. And, while I wouldn't mind taking him into the raid levels, I've been itching to try another character.

An untwinked melee seems more challenging (and tedious) than a necro, perhaps not as cool, but still a melee seems to have a bit less sure of the outcome of many battles.

Anyway just wondering.

Personal preference tbh. I have about 8 characters and still get the alt bug and honestly its totally random. I can get inspiration from a book, movie or even another character on p99. Once i come up with a cool sounding race/class and backstory (i also have a lot of fashion in mind as well) i usually just create the new character, sometimes i stick with them and sometimes i end up stripping them for another new char, lol.

I focused on getting my necro to 60 first. Then I farmed seafuries until I could fund a monk with a fungi, tinker bags etc.

I made alts throughout my main's journey.

Usually when I get bored.

Depends on the class though. You can level a druid to 34 and port to a majority of destinations, make some money, and gear up an alt.

Once your main gets high enough level that you have to sit around waiting for an exp group, you are ready for an alt for sure.

This.

Most alts I’ve started have been once my characters reach a high enough level that I can’t find anything productive to do in a 1-2hr session. Sitting lfg for hours in seb able to play 5 different characters to fill most any group role isn’t fun. I’ll make a new alt to play after a quick stint of trying the lfg stuff.

Currrently playing a paladin and having a blast.

When talking about alts, you really need to distinguish between twinked and untwinked. This type of alt:

is very different from this type:

The former are a distraction from getting level 60; the latter are what you do once you hit 60.

Just whenever you want. There’s no “right way” to play EverQuest. Whatever you find fun, sounds like the best way to play
