That's a good question. Over the weekend I cut them down to 7 characters (5 on my 2 paid accountsJ) and 1 each on 2 remaining F2P accounts. I had about 5 or 6 F2P accounts each loaded with 5 characters. I used to play on 3 computers, but now only on 2. So I now only play 2 at a time. The characters come and go. Some are sent on 'my special missions (supposedly received from Chiang)' on the starter island and come back only periodically. Some have just disappeared over time (deleted them and started new ones).
In total I had about 40-50 characters over time. When I logged in, I whould decide 'who do I want to be today'? I try to maintain personality characteristics for my players. Some I've had a lot of fun with. Just with their personalities. I enjoy the character development aspect of the game so none are really high level, mostly low to mid-levels. So the 125 cap wasn't a problem for me. I enjoy keeping in character as much as possible. I rarely talk about the outside world. Several characters refuse to acknowledge there is a RL world, they think Atys is the only world that exists. I probably enjoy playing those most. It's true escapism. On good days, I've played 4 or 5 over the course of the day - mostly on the weekend.
Like everyone else, I've taken my breaks from Ryzom. But usually not for long periods. Sometime I play intensely, other times casually.
Ryzom is such a wonderful game, it's easy to think about it as a real world - it's easy to just slip away into that world for much longer than I should. My wife often objects to the time I put in-game. She has played on occasion. But only casually.
Oh well, everyone has their own play styles I guess.

Tyk --
A thoughtful and generous decision.
Just one question. How in Jena's name do you play *ten* characters??? I have a hard time with three! (That would be myself, my "father" and my "sister".) Obviously you don't play them all at once since they are on only two accounts, but still.
And I thought that I suffered from MPD*.
