Was just seeing if the alt limit could be 2? I don't know it's ultimately up to nighthawk and just wanted to ask

Yeah the game was all balanced around having one alt, trying to make it so all classes are useful there.

Two alts maybe one day but I don't think we should attempt it though. If I'm ever to do stuff like a FB client/pad client/etc they will be at a serious disadvantage against someone using two alts/won't be fair for them in that regard. The only thing it would do is bolster the number count by double, but it's a fake 'double'.

could do buyable NPCs with a randomizer at temple(or other area) i.e. each npc shop rolls 5-10 possible mercenaries at server startup. and a fresh batch the next day.

mercenaries have the same basic set up as real existing classes and would function just like a summon.

changes from normal characters:
they range from level 8-15 in buyable levels
they cost 1000 gold per level
they cap at lvl 20
they have 75% of the hps normal characters have
they do half damage
you are only allowed mercenaries from your same Divinity(which is why i suggested temple)
they only come equipped as a level 8 would(you can ofc provide them gear)
they have 1 life(they die you have to buy anew)

possible:
---------to make mercenary account wide?(gunna scratch this part as it seems impossible when acct has multiple divs)

Mercenary is a good idea I've seen that couple different games

That might be something I bring back in the future.
