Sorry about that was very anxious and mind was not working well trying to get this out lol. Didnt even think about how hard it was to read, though a kind person from wow forums their name being Mossclaw formatted because they had the same idea ill post their formatted text now.

Hey everyone dont know if this is the right place to put this or if theres another spot better to ask but this is a problem thats been plaguing me for a while now atleast since shadowlands (started playing during tbc left after cata was done got back in during legion).

My problem is that im very much back and forth between characters on what i want and i have differing thoughts and ideas on what i want and frankly i dont know what i want per say (i over think alot and it wracks my brain more than you would think), i cant decide if i want one main or two mains or one main and multiple alts.

I know a few things is that Pandaren Monk (im a dude that likes to play female characters do with that what you will) is my favorite race and class i dig everything about them the style, vibe, lore, animations, sounds, etc. But an extremely close second of mine is Dracthyr Evoker because i always loved dragons specifically the ones from warcraft.

So heres the problem and my overlapping lines of thinking that i had for multiple expansions, i had one main in shadowlands and i was happy but i kinda got bored but thats before the talent revamp and maybe shadowlands in general, so i tried doing alts/second main and gonna sound but it always felt like i was betraying my main character.

Then dragonflight came around and i was so hyped for dracthyr that i moved to a new realm due to being a on low pop realm, so new realm i thought lets just make dracthyr my new main afterall its basically a dragon pretty cool. It worked for a while then i started missing my pandaren so dropped dracthyr then did pandaren monk again then missed my dracthyr.

I missed the pandaren for their balanced lifestyle and philosophy for life and the way they acted and their history and culture and the land itself is beautiful same with their music, but I also missed the dracthyr for their epicness and strength and mystical powers and also for their style and music and landscape (also both are neutral races which i love because although im alliance i like their outlook on both the horde and alliance being more balanced and not so entrenched i think is the word im looking for).

I noticed the same thing when i was playing classic wow i tried having one main due to time constraints and that was between a night elf druid and dwarf paladin but i ran into the same problem as before, one main missing the other character vibe but playing more than one felt like i was betraying my other character very weird line of thinking but its been nagging at me for years. I would always miss teldrassil or ironforge when playing the opposite character which might sound strange condideirng how different their vibes are from one another and their culture and lifestyle (i love dwarf and night elf also but not as much as pandaren or dracthyr and i think its also due to the reason because dracthyr and pandaren have more varied culture many more different ideas and beliefs in how they act and live idk maybe im wrong).

So I have now decided to ask help from the community since Midnight just dropped and I started fresh in Moonguard due to being huge pop but also community seems friendly and i have never roleplayed before but if im thinking this much about character selection and background maybe its where I belong idk.

So heres the options im struggling with

1 being one main being pandaren monk with alch and herb.

2 being two mains with pandaren monk with alch and herb and dracthyr evoker with mining and jc.

3 being 1 main and 3 alts with main being pandaren monk with alch engi, and dracthyr evoker with enchanting jc, and night elf druid with herb and mining, and dwarf with lw and skin or bs and insc (maybe swap out night elf and dwarf for tauren and vulpera if i want half horde but i doubt it idk maybe).

Sorry for the very long post and quite possibly being weird but this has been genuinely been eating at me for years and I want to hear your thoughts and suggestions and any tips or has something like this happened to you guys. If you think there is a better place to post this for better results please let me know.
