In role-playing games, an alternate character, often referred to in slang as alt, alt char, or less commonly multi, is a character in addition to one's "primary" or "main" player character. Players are generally not secretive about their alternate characters, unless having multiple characters is illegal, or in a role-playing environment where alternate characters might be judged by the actions of the primary character. In games where multiple characters are illegal, enforcement of this restriction can be difficult, especially without specialized tools.

  • In role-playing games, an alternate character, often referred to in slang as alt, alt char, or less commonly multi, is a character in addition to one's "primary" or "main" player character. Players are generally not secretive about their alternate characters, unless having multiple characters is illegal, or in a role-playing environment where alternate characters might be judged by the actions of the primary character. In games where multiple characters are illegal, enforcement of this restriction can be difficult, especially without specialized tools. Typically, alternate characters are used less frequently than the "primary" characters, but sometimes players may use them just as often. They should be distinguished from completely unused (dormant) characters, which may even get deleted for lack of activity. Alternate characters can be used to try out the different abilities of different player races, or character classes. Also, one frequent use is to play characters of opposite gender. Frequently, people use alternate characters to "re-live" the game experience; high-level characters may end up running low on things to do, but deleting the character and starting completely over is often undesirable. Often, people create another character to see what new features have been added since they last were on a low level character. The games typically allow alternate characters as long as they don't consume game resources excessively and are not used for cheating. Often, the servers have specific rules about the use of alternate characters. Most typical rules include the following: * The player is limited to a certain number of characters. * Only one character may be logged in at the time. * A given player's characters are not allowed to interact among themselves in any way. Often this only includes interaction which has a tangible benefit (such as giving equipment or money to another character), but some even restrict in-character dialogue. * Alternate characters must not be used to spy on another guild or faction.

  • Personaggio alternativo (alternate character), a cui ci si riferisce anche con "alt" o "alt char", è un termine utilizzato principalmente nei videogiochi di tipo MUD e MMORPG. Un personaggio alternativo è un personaggio che il giocatore crea in aggiunta al suo personaggio primario. Solitamente la connessione tra i due personaggi è resa pubblica (a volte come regola dei server a cui ci si collega), ma molti giocatori tentano ugualmente di tenerla segreta. Questi personaggi sono utilizzati principalmente a scopi direttamente connessi alla meccanica di gioco dei giochi di ruolo, ad esempio per saggiare tutte le abilità e tutte le possibili combinazioni tra oggetti, materiali, equipaggiamenti, ecc. Può essere utilizzato un alternate character anche per ripercorrere livelli che magari con il personaggio primario non è più possibile visitare. I videogiochi non permettono la creazione di questi personaggi soltanto quando ci sono limitazioni nelle risorse o quando gli utenti li utilizzano ad esempio per barare. Le regole tipiche di creazione includono: 1. * Il giocatore può creare un numero limitato di personaggi. 2. * Si può accedere soltanto con un personaggio alla volta. 3. * I propri personaggi non possono interagire tra loro. 4. * Non si possono creare personaggi alternativi per spiare in segreto altre fazioni.
