[Discussion] More than one character now or later?

[Sen Cross]

Hello my dears!

Lural brought this idea to me and I want to hear your opinion about it.
Some of us (including me) are pretty busy some times more than others, and although we don't have the problem to be stuck in rp with our characters as we have the option to play more rpgs at the same time, she suggested that maybe it was a good idea to lower the requirements to get a 2nd child.

I have been thinking, with the slow pace of the rp at the moment it really is quite difficult to get a 2nd.
But there is also the problem that I am very busy and creating new characters takes a lot of time for me, as well as growths. you might have noticed some are already overdue.

So, If I would allow you to have more than one character at any time, giving you can afford it, I fear that we won't get any new players at all or fewer new people because existing players can buy the new additions to the herd.

What do you think?
Yay or Nay?

You could always still do "newbie-only" events to keep getting new blood into the shop. Sort of the best of both worlds. Current owners could get another kid, but there would still be some kids going to new people

That's an interesting idea.

I agree with what Niki said. You can focus on newbie-only events, but give some perks to those who have stuck around and being active with being able to get their second character sooner. Like Lural said, we all know life comes before utopia.

Hmhm, I'll think about it and if nobody else throws in something, I'll make a decision tonight I guess.

But I believe allowing more than one character and doing newbie events sometimes is a good idea.... hm

I'm all for more than one character uwu b

I'm also for the mix of making it easier should current players like to opt to try for a second character and having newbie-focused events. ^u^

Perhaps another possible way to assist promotion for more new players joining in is that a raffle/auction event could have an opening period of time where only newbies can buy tickets or bid for themselves and/or current players could also buy tickets for newbie friends or bid for newbie friends. Then when the opening period of time (ex. first few days/week/other) passes, the raffle/auction would be open to participation of non-newbie players who would like to opt to try for another character to play. c':

I think Shy sums up everything I want to say for this idea~
