Why do people use alts? by Shrimpy February 14, 2015 at 4:02 PM UTC

I've seen many users with alts and never fully understood why people buy them. It seems like a big waste of money to me, unless there is a valid reason to actually buy one. 

What's your reason for an alt?

kycrafft February 14, 2015 at 4:02 PM UTC

  1. To ban evade
  2. More power for factions
  3. To be able to play without people recognizing them
  4. To get a higher K/D on it
  5. To mess around and have both you and your alt on at once (and or boost)

Notalgicular February 14, 2015 at 4:02 PM UTC

better stats

kycrafft February 14, 2015 at 4:02 PM UTC

And a new name. ( you can have 2 name changes with an alt)

Trexychan February 14, 2015 at 4:02 PM UTC

I prefer using alts for time lapse recordings and cinematics.

So staff aren't targeted or bugged, and they can relax. ;)

Hacktivism February 14, 2015 at 6:02 PM UTC

So I can record without the staff chat showing.

I have many alts and I can say you many points why alts are great/bad if you abuse them:

  1. To be well-known c:
  2. To Ban Evade (I don't suggest this point, trust me.)
  3. To avoid being targetted (Ask DaGoldBrick...)
  4. To start a new account with new stats
  5. To abuse it, ex. to start a game faster if there aren't enough players (I don't suggest this point too, I got banned for my stupid alts so yeah xd)
  6. There are more reasons

hehehehe

Okay, THAT is a pretty valid reason for an alt.

I was trolling till a mod bloody checked my ip...

Eklip_Z February 14, 2015 at 11:02 PM UTC

If I'm having a bad day I would just go onto an alt so it doesn't pulverise my stats.

FrozenSolstice February 14, 2015 at 11:02 PM UTC

Why does anyone do anything?

But really, it seems like alts are mainly used to start off fresh.

toadyd February 15, 2015 at 1:02 AM UTC

Why not?!?

goldenwalrus909 February 15, 2015 at 1:02 AM UTC

Funny you ask.. Right now I'm AFK'ing at a gold farm in factions. I really want to PVP on Kohi right now, but since I have a lack of god apples, I feel as if the gold is more important. I then strongly consider buying an alt, so I can AFK and PVP at the same time. Then, I go to the forums, reload the page, and see this topic. 
Hope that answered your question xD

badgg February 15, 2015 at 3:02 AM UTC

For me, I go on alts to see if the staff are actually doing their job if I'm not online, besides, it's relaxing when I can play and not having to "spam" greet everyone.

Dyspa February 15, 2015 at 3:02 AM UTC

- To tryhard
- Break others's stats
- Stop being stalked (About 2 people say: "Hi Juano" every game, so it gets annoying.

Funny I almost got banned again for "hacks" but the rot ended.

Thrasillias February 15, 2015 at 3:02 AM UTC

Pavlo February 15, 2015 at 7:02 AM UTC

Because I can afk at my gold/cactus farm in factions and then play on avicus. Or just have more power in my faction

Haha, life's hard ;')

FrostedCupcakez February 15, 2015 at 9:02 AM UTC

I mainly use my alt whenever I want to just relax and not have people screaming my name in chat every 5 seconds.

Legoche February 15, 2015 at 10:02 AM UTC

I would use an alt to record with if I had one.

Shrimpy February 15, 2015 at 10:02 PM UTC

TIL mods get more attention than I thought.

Hehe, I have to potion PVP on the server I play on, too, so I'm quite used to it x3

yummys February 15, 2015 at 10:02 PM UTC

(You can get alts for free if you just go on images by the way) People get alts so they can boost and troll and be on without people hating them, or to ban evade.

Out2Kill February 16, 2015 at 8:02 AM UTC

Haha, life's hard ;')
Yes indeed very hard. 

Especially putting up with you.

Jerseys February 16, 2015 at 4:02 PM UTC

Most people get alts for another name.
