People use alts for murder and raiding and any kind of dangerous activity, so that they don't risk to lose their "main" char. A "no risk, high reward" approach. I think this game would be much more interesting if there weren't alt chars, so that we could also avoid the use of them for safe storage.
Problem is, no one thought of a reliable and affordable method to avoid their creation...the one char per account would be right in that regard, but how should they avoid logging in with multiple accounts? Controlling the IPs would cause problems for people playing in the same network, after all.
I only use my main. I've died once and will, with no doubt, risk my new one in the future. If people are dumb enough to use alts to avoid death in a perma-death game, they missed the point anyway. Cowards, the lot of them.
