** On the official Morrowind/Oblivion forums, this trope strain is usually called Restartitus.

** Games with plugins or mod packages are particularly prone to this. Install a few nifty new mods, roll a new character so you can experience all the mod content. Then, repeat forever and never finish the main plot.

** This became a pandemic within ''[[Ragnarok Online]]'', which allows 9 characters per server (3 servers for the International variant) by default. This was not enough characters, so you got to seeing players with two, three or more accounts - many of which would be running at the same time, ''on one computer.'' Efforts to fix the 'multi-boxing on one comp' problem were quickly shelved when the playerbase nearly rioted.

** Similarly, multi-logging has becomer permissable (instead of against the rules, but ignored) in ''[[Flyff]]''. This has led to a situation where one of the most common pieces of advice given to newbies is to make a second account with an FS assist on it, so the assist's buffs can help them level.
