Submains

Submains, short for submainland, are a term used in the context of online gaming, particularly in the World of Warcraft (WoW) community. They refer to players who are not the primary or main character of a guild or group, but rather serve as secondary or supporting characters. These players often fill specific roles within the group, such as healers, tanks, or damage dealers, and are crucial for the group's success. Submains are typically used by players who have multiple characters, allowing them to switch between different roles or specializations as needed. This practice is common in competitive environments like raids and PvP, where having a diverse set of characters can provide flexibility and depth to a team. Submains are often seen as a way to maximize the potential of a player's account, as they can be leveled and geared up independently of the main character. However, the use of submains can also be controversial, as it may lead to a lack of commitment or dedication to any single character, potentially affecting the overall performance of the group.
