How Many Characters Are To Many?

Postby Sparkle » Mon Jun 07, 2004 10:53 pm

I am asking this because I have 8 characters now and as hard as this may seem, I have a life outside of Cantr. I love balancing all the things I do in a day with Cantr. All though Cantr takes up much of it. So do you think (judging how you balance however many characters you have with your busy life) that 9 are 10 characters are to much?

Comparatively, I think 8-12 is a good amount of characters to have. I personally have 7, probably 6 soon- but I like putting a little more umph into my roleplay, so I borrow more time. Go for 10, I like seeing more characters out there =))

I have 15 characters, then again I have a lot of free time on my hands, but hey I like this game and it needs more people who actually play.

I have 11 chars currently, but two are being neglected rather badly, and my others aren't as active as they could be because I have very little free time, they're only active as much as they are because I got a little office job a month ago and I can get on the com anytime I want while I'm there.

I have 15 characters and are usually amongst the most active with all of them.

But then again I type fast, have some rugged and rather silent types, many who are travelling and a lot of time on my hands :)

I'm in the same boat with Pirog, here.

15 Characters, typing average of 90 WPM, and too much time on my hands - I have no problem keeping all my characters extremely active. I could probably take on another 15 characters, and still be in the same boat. (Everyone always logs out and types their posts, not to lose minutes, eh? I don't, and I usually end up with 30 or more minutes by the end of the day.)

Whenever I have normally scheduled classes, I'll end up with over 100 minutes a day; but during the summer, breaks and some weekends, I go all the way down to the single digits.

Can't seem to be able type that fast (though faster than I have in the past =))) and usually respond straight from the events screen first time.

How is that possible. Once my characters was so busy It took me 2 hours before I finally loged out and I only had 45 minutes for the rest of the day (it was around 3pm). I type 70WPM so that's not the problem. How can you stay logged in and still have minutes left by the end of the day? :?

Just because my characters are extremely active, doesn't mean they're always busy. In the event that my character(s) get busy, then I'm hurrying to post in notepad, copy and paste, and all that log out jazz to keep my minutes at a maximum.

But that rarely happens. All the people I role play with keep going away on holiday, have real life events to tend to, or go to school like I do (Or work) and therefore can't post during it. Only rarely do I get busy anymore :P

I have 15 chars, but I should probably only have ten or so. I like all of my characters though and enjoy seeing all the different places. Some of them aren't as active as they could or should be but I check often in case something urgent happens. I also have work, school, a girlfriend, friends and partying to deal with in the rest of my time.

I have 15, and still maintain a life - though at times it had been hard and I cut back on cantr for a bit.

On the other hand I work at home, so it's not problem to randomly check characters throughout the day when stopping in the house for a break from the sun. :D
