Main Account

A main account is a player’s primary account — the one holding their highest rank, most cosmetics, and the bulk of their progress. It is the account they care about most and play seriously, in contrast to a smurf or alt used for casual or experimental play.

Because so much time and money accumulate on a main, it is usually a player’s most valuable possession in a game. “Maining” a character also means specializing in one pick. When a main is sold, full email access and a clean record matter most, since the buyer is taking over years of investment in one gaming (general) accounts.
