Aye, but some folks expressed the fact that they weren't too keen on making a new alt (or a gnome for that matter) and I didn't want anyone to feel left out or not play because of that. So thought I'd put it to a vote and if we all collectively decide to use our mains, at least make provisions so that the playing field get leveled.
For what it's worth, I do hope we all make gnomes .. because the idea of 30 or 40 gnomes with The Guild under their names invading various zones makes me giggle.
