We have a update coming that allows players to do exactly this. We’ll also retain Alts for players who genuinely want to play as an alternative character.
I ultimately concluded that once we supported alts that allow players to access all skills across different characters, then there is little different to accessing all skills from a single character.
We’re also planning a review and reworking of the skill system itself. This includes the process of enabling skills (which is a real pain when re-skilling a character, hard to plan, every step is permanent) and the skill trees themselves.
(Why aren’t we doing this already!! Well we’re rebalancing the crafting trees, preparing the initial release of the forge, working on the animation and prediction system, reworking the block and world palette system, adding an optional profanity filter and other stuff.)
