Signs Your Alt-Itis Has Gone Too Far....

You may need professional help if...

* You consider the total NPC villain population of any given Hazard Zone and your first thought is "Well, I've got 'em outnumbered..."

* For you, a 404: File Not Found error means you have 404 characters and no idea which account/server the one you want to play is on.

* You can't watch television, listen to the radio, or even look outside without getting an idea for a new character.

* Icon has a life insurance policy on you since your death would lead to a significant loss of income for them.

* You have several emails from NCSoft Support wanting to know if you actually meant to have that many accounts.

* You walk into your living room to find several people there for an intervention; and two of them are from the Dev Team.

* You once tried to write a novel but chapter one introduced more new characters than the whole of War and Peace.

* You can't remember making the skeleton covered in cobwebs and moldering clothes and realize only then just how long it's been since you last played him.

* One server is filled with nothing but first level characters because the costume creator kept giving you ideas for the NEXT new character while still creating the current one.

* For some reason being around real people suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder makes you feel right at home.

* The Moderators officially changed your Forum Name to Sybil.

* You single-handedly inspired the marketting departments "Buy 3 Accounts Get One Free!" promotion.

* Some people could Dual Box a character from each of their accounts on one computer... Not even a Cray Computer could accomplish that for you.

* You bought 14 computers and put them all in your office so you could flood costume contests.

* None of your characters are high enough level to use Fly and only half of them could manage hover.

* For you, End Game Content is when your bank account finally bottoms out from all the monthly CoH charges.

* In honor of your efforts the Devs create a new city zone populated entirely with nothing but your characters... this is announced as "Issue 33: City of Bob"

* You make tribute characters of all your family and friends... and see the tributes more often than the real people.

* Marvel and DC sue you to stop making characters since you're using up all the good ideas.

* You meet a real person on a blind date, sniff and say "I could make better."

* You like those speed dating things... since 5 minutes is about as much time as you can dedicate to one person anyway.

Miss one?

Being "inspired" by television and other media probably isn't a sign of altitis. But, if it is, then I've got it bad, too. :T

As a branch of that idea:

* you watch a new television series and the first thing you want to do after every episode is make a character with that show's theme

Here's looking at you, Sengoku Basara... o_o
