This is to increase the population of Earthia as well as give everyone another level of roleplaying and whatnot. Now everyone can have two characters who can interact in battle, through trades, or through anything else (if desired, because they can be independent also). The following, however, are the guidelines for these secondary characters:

- The "post count" of the secondary character is half of your actual post count. This means that your secondary character is technically half as strong as your main character.

- Your secondary character must be flagged as secondary (in your profile, just label it somehow so everyone knows).

- Only your main can officially gain money from posting (please check here). This money can be traded to your secondary in a trade/merchant location.

- Your secondary character must not be a Healer. While a main character can be a healer with a secondary of anything else, a secondary cannot be a healer. This is because everyone in their right mind would choose a healer in this case for tactical superiority. Any other class (other than Trader, something entirely different) can be secondary though.

- While you technically can, you probably would not want to create characters of opposite alignments if they are going to interact.

***************************************************

These characters can fight together, trade together, travel together (can be combined into single movement posts), or whatever else. This makes things a little more tactical as well as possibly entertaining for roleplayers.

Maybe you want the overlord/apprentice combination? Maybe a smart guy and a dumb guy? Maybe the seasoned adventurer and the plucky comic relief? Maybe a "superhero" and his sidekick?

At the same time, you can have many strategies. Shadow Hunter and Spectre, to give the Shadow Hunter a bit of an advantage? Maybe two Necromancers, Guards, or Elementalists to create an army of minions to fight for you? Maybe a Warrior and a Wizard for massive damage output?

At the same time, what do you do in battle against these foes? Come against a Shadow Hunter and a Spectre? Why not eliminate the Spectre first who is probably vulnerable? Against summoners of some sort? Take out the lower leveled summoner first to decrease your adversaries by half. Have a fighter and spellcaster? Who is probably most vulnerable? You'd probably want to take him/her out first.

It's up to you how you do things, and I hope you enjoy this update.

I guess this makes the game a bit more phun. I might restart playing.

Great idea Cspace! I think secondary characters would be a great addition to DS. I really hope more of the older players will come back and become more active!

Phun?

And I noticed no one actually uses this... Why not make a pet system instead?
