Sub-accounts

How important is the idea of posting in character with a dedicated sub-account (complete with avatar, maybe even post history) to you as a player. Do you feel that it is too much immersion, or would it get in the way of game play, or become too confusing for other people reading the game? Or do you prefer it because it's easier to keep track of which characters post in a game, feels more authentic, etc?

I'm considering getting a sub-accounts modification for my forum, but I'm hesitant. What do you think?

 

Well, I did it. I came across a bit of extra money, and I took the plunge. I'm already loving the the idea of posting totally in-character! Now I just need some more --victims--, I mean players!

 

I personally like sub accounts as it also gives me easier access to seeing which characters I favour and also helps me get into their mindset better! also fun for the aesthetics!

 

I like sub-accounts too. Even if they aren't all blinged out with avatars and profiles, it makes it easier for me to see which character the thread is and to keep things IC.

 

sub accounts are super convenient!

 

I'm definitely pro sub accounts! Being able to have a visual and see the name of the character(s) you're writing and interacting with is more immersive, I've found. I also feel like it can help to avoid bleed between writers and characters, and make it clear that, for example, "yes, my character is being mean here, but that does not mean I as a player condone that".

 

I think it's the best way to run multiple characters, by far.

 

I usually play a lot of characters so sub accounts are much easier and convenient to use in my opinion.
