To keep myself company... *glances around* Will it be a one-way trip to the insanity ward if I mention the many, many conversations I've had with my own alts just because nobody else was around? Some of them get pretty heated... one time it resulted in the death of SirHashhog. >_>
I usually use my alternate accounts to be in multiple places at once. AltiPig runs a massive automatic sugar cane farm, iUlti keeps chunks loaded when my villagers are growing, and my secret alternate account is used to search for resellers. I usually only use two accounts at a given time: UltiPig and AltiPig.
I use my alt to tab out, its actually a combination, alt+tab. It saves me time and is pretty useful, but I recommend keeping it only to the left alt key!
I play on my alts to be a completely different person. Maybe I should have some of the 7 doing something else
You mean that guy Cholupacabra that follows anyone who buys from you? lol, I thought he was a stalker.
I'm using mine to get promos, which i then auction off at extremely high end prices, and then make it rain use it to buy materials that i don't want to travel to mine (clay and glowstone for my builds)
I use my alternate account to: Collect extra promos Spawn minibosses twice as often Be in two places at once Deal with my money, so I don't spend as much. Have an extra res. Make parody names for a month. Stay at an outpost
Expanding my glorious, priceless, and overwhelming customized set of items. Giving all my admin flags to myself isn't a bad idea. . . Wrong! Need something done in town, but I'm too lazy to travel 60k... screw it that's what ALT's are for. Firework display!? Why watch only here, when I can watch from different perspectives simultaneously. Besides people like a nice photo to look back on for our New Years celebration. It's always exciting when someone runs near my res only to see my chat yelling at myself. . . what's his problem *keeps moving along* And for economical use, I'll just randomly switch between different accounts to help owners keep their shops stocked up if and when I have the materials available to just dump loads of goodies into the markets. Little money for me and more happy shoppers for them. At one point I joined two more of my alts purposely for gaining more plots, but later afterwards I didn't see the need for the extra land so I decided to unclaim it.
Alts? You mean you guys have paid for multiple Minecraft Accounts? Really?... I love playing Minecraft, but I work too hard to spend money buying multiple licenses for one game...
Note "multiple licenses for one game". Did you buy any other games, then? Why wouldn't somebody's first and alt accounts count as separate games?
I have 3 alts, 2 are public, 1 is secret. I use the alts for afk purposes, occasional joke, etc, nothing too important. It's the private one that I use less often, and for a specific task; PvP. Now, I'm gonna go real talk here for a sec. Being staff is makes PvP a lot of fun, lots of peeps usually willing to join in to duke it out, but there is one downside; I tend to have a target on my back. Now, I'm cool with that 90% of the time, since it's not a big deal if I get killed. BUT, there comes that 10% of the time where I just want to chat with people and fight without sticking out like a green thumb (see what I did there?). When that happens, I'll just hop on my alt to PvP, I battle it out for a bit, have some fun, then jump back on my primary account. I get to fight, and people get to slaughter me later on, everyone is happy.
I only have one alt, and it's pretty easy to spot. Also, it's no where near meant to be private. The mains things I use my alt for are: 5th residence Extra promos Be in 2 places at once
