alts are meant to be independant accounts
adept of = is your mentor
if accounts are independant, and trying to develop seperately, then they shouldnt have same mentor, as that would be developing clones of yourself
the majority of people get friends alts and such to help them out with adepting, and i'm no exception there btw
i just think it's wrong that you should be able to just ask your friend for a few of their adepts to get you to the magical 30, to do so is like pretending that there's more people about than there actually are.
There are currently 6 MP6 (Princ Rheagar, sagewoman, Amoran, Pample, Me(dropped temp), Granos), each needs a minimum of 30 adepts to remain mp6, so that's 180 accounts for those 6 players, this would imply that there are 180 accounts running around most days, interacting with people, chatting happily and such. This is not the case, as i write this my toolbar is telling me there are 102 players online, and there's been no talk of anyone except these 6 people having adepts, ofc other people have adepts too...
MP6 isn't meant for everyone, it never was, it is meant to be a struggle to get there, and to stay there, not just a case of asking some friends to log in their alts for the week.
