I suppose it's nice to have goals. 
This is a very long term game. So I picked some very long term goals.

         in vague order of importance
             ======  Hero ======

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.

D) This one is fresh. Since the player population outside 
   US primetime is at an all-time low, 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, [for me] 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 
some self-sufficiency.

Anyway. Each alt has its own story, and is unique in some way (save the 
mass-spammed carbon copied archers); they all serve a purpose, be it gear 
management, recovery, support and similar, 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.
