Main account

The term main account (also referred to as a main or primary account) usually refers to a player's highest levelled account or their most frequently used account. This term, however, is mostly used by players who have lower levelled or less frequently used accounts, called secondary accounts or noob accounts (some of which are pures and Throwaway accounts). Although it used to be forbidden to log into more than one account simultaneously, this was changed in May 2014, explicitly allowing trade and other interaction between alternate accounts "as long as it doesn't involve rule breaking or gameplay exploitation". However, it is still strongly advised that players with multiple accounts do not drop trade nor use a third party (especially a macro as botting is and remains prohibited and is a bannable offence) to transfer items between accounts since the risks of being scammed are high.
