Yep 14 is a lot.. I have about 8..

One for each class I play (Mystic Knight, Magic Archer, Warrior, Fighter, Strider, Assassin, Sorceror and Ranger) .. still alot - most around level 90 but not burnt out (or competed by any measure).

I think the alternative is about 3 chars - one with a lot magic skill (to swap between the magic based vocations), one strength based character for the heavy stuff, and one mid-sized character with lots of stamina and a good balance for the archery based vocations.

I also do a "parallel universe" thing were each character I play gets to be another character's pawn - if that makes sense - so I really only have to make 8 different characters instead of 16 (also sort of fits in with the plot..)

If that helps, good, I sort of know the feeling though.
