Use Your Other Characters as Heroes (Discussion)

Allow other characters on a players account to be used like heroes and accompany a character through the game.


 * Why this is a good idea
 * Players can have a number of characters which they don't use because they focus on a single major character
 * They would be like heroes which are fully customisable and playable too


 * Why it may not work out
 * How to resolve things like credit for mission completion, quest completion exploration for characters used as heroes.
 * people could bring overpowered charachters along as heros "I.e, bring a party of level 20's to an early zone
 * would make it extremely easy to travel without other players>(not entirely negeative)
 * resolving which skills are available to the summoned charachter, (ie hero panel allows you to equip all unlocked skills, it would have to link to your owned skills instead).(not a major problem)
