Country Canada Age 18 Gender Femme	Hmm, well I won't vote in this myself, since I want member opinions. But I personally am leaning towards 'Yes'. I've been hearing that separate accounts for each character tends to make this a bit smoother and better organized. If we were to do this, I wouldn't worry about having to start your post-count again or resetting your information into a whole new account. I would simply change the name of your current account to your main character's first and last name (if it's not like that already). Then you could make a new account with the same naming process for any additional characters you may have. Though right now, it's only me who has more than one. Tehehe. Please to be voting? Pwease?

Although it does keep the forum (sort of) organised, it can also be a hastle, especially for those with many characters. Also, keep in mind that people get lazy, meaning that they won't always change accounts. In that case, it kind of defeats the purpose ;) . Edited by Nil, Jul 5 2008, 08:17 PM.

I agree, it can be hassling. Opinions on it vary so much from person to person though, I just want to get a feel of what you all would prefer.

Unregistered	My experience tells me that the best option is usually to have seperate accounts for each character but to have an alias code on the forum so the members can switch between the accounts without having to log out.
