I am always entertained by this subject, although I have to agree with the succinct comment "search function. use it."
What is a main character? The one who's training? Do I need to switch the character I post on if I switch my main? Did you come here to read posts and have discussions or did you come here to determine if someone is an alt and try to undermine what they say with "post on your main". Maybe it was my main. Maybe it will be next week. Is there some reason you can't just read the post and consider the merits of it on its own? If I have multiple accounts, do I need to tell you who all the main characters are?
This argument seems silly. I don't post on my main, I don't care what you think, it doesn't mean I have to stop posting. |

I'd say that if you had all your alts in one place, and you were told you can only be one of them forever and never have any more alts, the one you pick is your main.
You could say "It's the one you spend the most time on" however if I'm a spy I'm going to spend most the time on my spy alt rather than my "main".
Therefore I'd use the above test.
Why would someone with multiple accounts only have one main? Why would I play a game that didn't let me have different experiences from that one character? What if I get tired of that one and want to pick a different one as my main? What if I stop playing that character? or biomass it? Now who would you post on? And do you have to explain to everyone you're this other person who posted a lot before so they don't think you're an alt?
This is an alt. He does stuff different from my main. He might become my main one day. Then I'll have to go find another alt to post on... |

My "test" earlier was that if you were told you could only have 1 character and all the others will be deleted and you can never have any more alts, which one would you keep? That's your main as you have the most attachment to it.
Which one is the double-boxers main? |

They aren't here to offer anything. Call them trolls or just a*******, what they are in the forums to do is find some measure of therapy, or make people feel as bad as they do about themselves.
hmmm...these are good reasons to alt post.

Obviously the one they'd keep. Duh.
Pay for two accounts and get to keep only one character?
