I suppose it's nice to have goals. 
This is a very long term game. So I picked some very long term goals;
A) Dragons are cool. A dragon 999 army would be cool. *nod self*
B) Taking down Kiah, need a caster army from A for that first.
C) Self-made Fae. Check.
D) This one is fresh. Since the player population outside of US primetime 
   is at an all-time zero, I suppose I'll have to explore and map lord 
   planes all by myself. And twenty archers should suffice.

Why are all these megaprojects multiday-based? As years go by, unfortunately, 
so do the players disapear. My playtime is usually around 2-10 AM system and 
there's barely any people online at those hours. Without multiday, the game 
would be dead, sad as it is. So in time I started treating it as a singleplayer
game with an IRC attached. Now it works better, though it requires absolute 
self-sufficiency.

Anyway. Each alt has its own story, and is unique in some way (save the 
mass-spammed archers that are carbon copied and I care nothing for them
whatsoever); they all serve a purpose, be it gear management, recovery, 
support, etc, and there is very little repetition - I like to experience 
different aspects and characters.

As a sidenote, I will never make a horse or a monk.
Those run contrary to my personal beliefs.
