Yes there is another way too get energy. If you do runs on 3d missions energy will somtimes drop. White=1 energy, green= 2or 3 energy. The drops arent extremely rare eather.

Oh yeah sorry I forgot about the looted xp chances. You can also have a chance at getting energy loot from side missions. I was speaking about free INSTANT Energy similar to plat buying. :p
Armor wise. The visible gear (weapon excluded) is for looks only. The gems (can be looted, purchased in cs, or obtained from the weapon plat packs) are what count for stats (weapon does too).

You might just want to kill some time and make friends/socialize in the Vampire District! :D

I was wondering if different alts have different energy bars? I'd assume so. This is only part I don't like so far. I was thinking of making like 3-5 toons if they have individual energy. Burn one up and switch to others! Should be able to just keep playing then right?

There is actually a bunch of discussions about how to use energy, and what to do when you are out. Probably your first energy regen period will be the most difficult just because it's new and you have not yet opened that many areas.
If you are going to be out of the game, start all your story missions (the non-dungeon ones) so they are ready to collect when you get back. In general, the longer the timer, the better the prize.
If you want to play for a couple hours when you log on with a full energy meter, spend some energy on ONE story mission. Then go do dungeons. Energy drops in the 3D dungeons, so you want to make sure you have some room in your energy meter for energy drops. With the energy drops in the dungeons, you should be able to play for a few hours, though it depends a little bit on the dungeon -- energy can drop from mobs and breakables, so the more of them, the better the energy drop.
If you still have energy, before you log out of the game, spend the rest on the story missions, so you can possibly collect energy, buffs, xp and gold when you get back. If you can, always have room in your energy meter before you collect, just in case the reward is an energy reward.
If you have 0 energy and still want to play, there are a few options: socializing, checking auction, or pvp'ing.
If this is still not enough, you can start a 2nd account (use the free method and another email account). Usually an hour or so of active play is enough for me, but if you find you are idle a lot, then you might want to start a 2nd one, if only just as an additional farmer.
