__NOTOC__ An Alternate Account (or "Alt" for short) is a secondary account used by a [[Resident]] in addition to their main [[Second Life]] account. It is easy for one person to create any number of Alternate Accounts, since there is no charge for creating a basic Second Life account. Linden Lab reserves the right to charge for the creation of large numbers of multiple accounts for a single person, but at present does not do so. ==Uses for Alts== There are many legitimate reasons for creating Alts, such as: *Being able to build or script without being disturbed *Holding land *Using the account to role-play There are also less legitimate reasons for creating Alts, which have led to Alts being sometimes viewed negatively, such as using them to *Abuse others anonymously, a practice known as [[Griefing]] *Get around a ban on their main account ==Etiquette concerning Alts== It is against the Terms of Service and Community Standards to reveal the main identity of an Alternate Account if the owner of the Alt has not done so themselves. ==See Also== *[[Avatar]] *[[Resident]] ==External Links== *Second Life History Wiki: http://secondlife.wikia.com/wiki/Alternate_Account *Wikipedia article about Alts in MMORPGs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_character [[Category:Avatar]]
