I tend to stick with chars more if I have a goal for them. E.g. with my shaman I wanted to be able solo tough end game mobs, and that goal kept me motivated. Same with the chanter, wanted to go dungeon crawling and that kept it interesting. I always quit characters I make just because I think it'd be cool to have a gnome warrior or whatever.

Arbitrary goals are the only way to make the relentless grind of EQ interesting. It's all mental gymnastics to justify staring at the same room or corridor or whatever for hours straight

This is the best advice. Make a goal for yourself / your character. I'm still new to P99, but doing this is what got me to 40+ in live after being an altaholic myself.

Alternatively, I agree with what another poster said about the name of the character. Make sure you like the name and are happy with the stats otherwise you'll be walking the same lonely alt avenue by the time the leveling starts to slow down.
