Max Level - What do you do?

All day every day. My name is Lirith and I'm a who-aholic.

I think about everything has been said that I would say here. Lirith has been level 50 for close to 7 years now and I'm still finding things to do with her. Putting the time into developing a character means they tend to take on a life of their own. I never spent any time actively grinding levels for her, it was all done through adventures with friends and she kind of got there without any effort on my part towards it. Teaching is a good end game if it's something you're into, and you can still teach through RP even without the feats in terms of passing on knowledge rather than just focusing on code skills.

I only have two other level 50s and the rest are at all stages. I don't generally pay too much attention to levels unless I know I want to get to a certain point to be able to manage specific quests.

A lot of traditional tabletop begins with "An old mage comes in, seeking adventurers ..." so I thought it might be fun to be that guy. I bought some magic items, stashed them in a chest in the back of a lowbie area, and then found a lowbie elsewhere and came up with a story as to why I needed them to investigate. They called their level 50 buddy who came in, stone skinned them, acid fogged the zone, and went in to get the chest. So that experiment was kind of a bust.

Working on skills and spells is always fun, if a bit monotonous to do it solo. Essentially the most fun I have in-game is when there's 1-2 other buddies to go roam some rarely-visited area with. Roleplay is good, but it's better when you're roleplaying while monsters fall beneath your blade.

[Siria]

First of all: I don't actually have a level 50 character.
Despite the fact that I have had Siria for ages...resons for that: I hate grinding and if someone asks me to rp instead I will (ask my drow what that leads to). Also, when Siria got close to max level she lost quite a few levels to a foe and since I hate grinding I haven't bothered to retrain them yet.

But back to topic. Even though Siria technically isn't level 50 I kind of feel like she is. So what is she doing? Mostly RP.. raising fallen young ones, guiding people, readings for others (I love those!) and of course faith things whenever I can be around for those. And sometimes she'll even tell about the great epic things that happened in (her) past. Not spoiling any quests of course.
Also.. I've started two other characters and when I don't feel holy enough for Siria I play my little evil ones instead (and yes I have 3 characters total.. despite being here for.. multiple years).

My life defined. Having reached 50 on only 2 of my characters, I will at times come up with plans/ideas for other characters and start from the bottom over again only for them to be left in limbo between level 15-35.

But for the ones who have reached 50, I do as I had done previously. RP, join on epic quests of things that might kill you but are disappointing when they don't, collect coin, focus on skills, etc.

Yeah, this phenomenon is why I have 19 separate characters. Some character concepts have to be "tried on awhile" before you realize they're not really as cool or fun as you thought they'd be. Then I've got some others that turned out to be virtually identical to existing, higher level ones and I wondered what the point was. And I've got several I really love but because of various game mechanics and cultural issues I never play.
