I said yeah speed it up, I'd like to get more character appropriate alts, but not permanently, there's no point labelling something rare if it's not rare...

My question is how many times does it take for the rare alts to be recirculated? Now with the extensive list. If it's high in number of rotations then yes to the once a week rotation. It would make the rare alts even more rare do to the fact that they're available for a short time!

it takes 5 rotations at present to go throught the full list, 6 rotations to get back to where you begin.

That's assuming the rotations aren't random and that you won't have the same alt repeat.

That would be true except that its a rotator, not a randomiser.

Will all of the alt modes be available to all of the factions over the course of time through the rotator, or are some specific to factions?

That matters to me as much as how quickly they're rotated through.

Rock on!

Do you have a guess as to what time on Monday? Morning or night, not specific time like 8:35am central time or anything.

Just set it to every 3 days and launched it so your alts should be changed already.
