So I checked the DC Lists today after questing my main just out of curiosity. I don't remember having done this for several years. I noticed that I was two behind Toki in skill, sitting pretty at #54.
While my first feeling was one of pride at being decently high on the list as well as being just behind Toki, I quickly began wondering: who are all these characters?
I was very fortunate many years back to have picked up my current tiq kout, and other than that, I wear fairly decent gear. While my 196a SAC is nothing compared to some of the beasts floating around out there, I would say that my suit would be very difficult to piece together if one were simply to quest for all their own gear and never trade.
However, there are evidently 53 people above me who have even more skill (and many below me who only have slightly less skill). While I know or recognize some of the names on the list (at least in the Top 10), I am curious to know who all these massive characters belong to.
Are they main characters whose owners have left the game?
Are they alts?
Either way, I'd say everyone anywhere around me is packing at least one decent tiq, and some look like they're wearing entirely tiq suits. (For example, #49, "Duke 8/11" has a nice 5.8k skill, but only 631 combined attack/defense).
Any speculation as to who these characters are?
It's just so curious. These lists of seemingly lifeless characters sometimes seem like graveyards, or perhaps just ancient tomes, recording the might that DC once had.
EDIT: One question I forgot to ask - is there an upper limit on the skill list? I keep thinking above a certain level you don't register on the list. If so, any speculation as to the quantity of characters above this upper limit?
