I don't know. It was something I read long ago. But I see people winning on side accounts anyway, so I don't know if they enforce it

Edit: I can't remeber where I read that rule either.

EC, I used to work for the federal government. I worked as a claims examiner for one federal agency where everything was spelled out in great detail. We had to consult about 20 manuals (no kidding) to figure out the benefits to be given to claimants.

I then transferred to another federal agency. No rule books. No manuals. Everything was in memos and letters from the head honcho. Nothing in order. Nothing in organized fashion to refer to if you had a question. I could not believe the chaos. I quit within 2 months because I just couldn't take the uncertainty. I never knew if I was making the correct decision or not and had no real rules to back me up. It was as if the claims examiners were making up the law as they saw fit--instead of Congress who had actually set forth the laws. I now find that the office I worked in has been given the dubious distinction of being the worst regional office of this particular agency in the entire nation. And, this is a big city we are taking about. Number 3, I believe?

I like rules. I like black and white. Because, you know exactly what you can and cannot do when things are written down in black and white.

I wrote TNT on this issue a long time ago, when I started my first gallery. First, it was ok to play games on side accounts, as long as the NP stayed there, but no dailies. Then it was only games on your main account. Then, they started the rules about transferring. It's just too confusing for me.

*looks for e-mails*

Here's one, from July 2003:


And another, from a different person, in March 2004:



You can see how much things have changed.

I tend to use that philosphy with my accounts. I have each on their own email account. I don't play games with the spare accounts, but I may switch off with things like the shrine, to raise the stats of my pets. Say one account per week or something. I have a shop on two accounts, but the np earned stays wihin the account.

One place I read you can have up to 4 accounts per email address. that got me thinking

Me and my sister share a computer, and I have a spare pets account. We send each other items all the time; she gives me any codestones she finds 'cause she knows I'm training my pet, and I buy her stuff for her gallery. Now I'm scared I don't want either of us to get frozen! And I'm saving up for a paintbrush to paint one of my pets on my spare account - how do I transfer the paintbrush, give to neofriend or trading post? What do I doooo???

This is what the T&C says (yes, I put a couple things in bold):



Now, when I wrote in right after they "updated" and "clarified" the rules asking about gallery spotlight (mine is a subaccount), I got "I don't think so". Since then, I have heard that people can and do enter, but they have to write that it is a subaccount, what their main account is and that's where the trophy goes. Which of course, makes perfect sense ... let's have a trophy on a different account

So, I think they should just make so if your gallery, petpage, bc entry, war points, whatever is NOT your main account, then you can't enter. Period. Even the BC -- you do get a trophy and you do get np if you win or place. So to me, that says you should only enter on your main or you'd end up with a trophy on your main that would be really weird.

I was also told that we cannot use shops on other accounts to sell things, though I know of a few "well-known" players who have at least 3 shops in a mega-mall selling. But I've also seen people frozen for "multi-account".

That email from support, the second one, drives me insane. Because you can't play games on other accounts ... that's earning np and if you're good at the game, there's another trophy! And I know I was told NO dailies on other accounts, none of the switching accounts. That your main account is the ONLY account you can do dailies/freebies (except for healing springs) on. It even says so on the various pages!

So people end up frozen for doing what support (probably an auto response that someone wrote up and no one checked it) told the person they could do, when in fact that is completely contrary to the T&C.

Add to that people who share a computer (especially high speed with a fixed IP address) and all play on the site, do their dailies, etc. If I had an np for all the posts I've seen where entire families or households have been frozen for earning on multiple accounts, well, I would definitely have a tidy sum. I've seen people frozen for sending someone else on the same computer/IP an item, especially if it's a more expensive one. So now people are afraid to send a surprise or present or whatever to someone else on the same computer. The same goes for people who play on public computers.

I would love to see everything spelled out once and for all, in black and white, very tidy and reasonable. People are paranoid of doing things for fear of getting frozen. People are getting conflicting answers to the same questions -- and getting answers that directly conflict with what IS clear (comparatively) in the T&C and on the site.

*falls off soapbox, gets up, drags it away muttering to self*

I'll see if I can ask Amanda W. about the beauty contest and other accounts. She seems to be fairly quick to answer questions like that.

From what I've heard, it is alright to enter in the beauty contest because it is a contest you're not certain you will win in.

That sounds pretty logical and will not discriminate against those families who have more than one familiy member playing Neopets on the same computer. I like it.

Very cunning.No wonder many accounts have been frozen wrongly,including mine My conclusion : TNT sucks!I believe all of us play Neopets for leisure.Now,Neopets is becoming a burden,in a sense that,we need to tolerate such vague T&C and happy freeze monitors.Everyone I know is worried about getting iced.My heart always skips a beat when I log out suddenly.It happened in the old account,it happens in the new account.

Edit : There are some people who have a mall.That means multiple accounts.Why are they allowed to have multiple accounts and many shops?Why is TNT being ignorant in this case?It's unfair when those who have malls can have multiple accounts and shops to earn nps.TNT should freeze all their accounts.

Yes, TNT's rules suck. And I agree, Neo has become more worry than it ever should be. We go there to play for fun, and end up worrying everytime we breathe wrong.

And I hate to say it, but I think TNT shows favortism toward certain players. Why else do everyday normal people get iced, but that one person gets away with it every time?

This I saved, was posted on the premium board by someone who'd written in asking about games on more than one account (what a board that was!). So many different answers, but this one seems the closest to what the T&C says.

The whole no shops on other accounts to earn np when we all know of a few people who have multiple accounts and a mall selling from all of them, well, I don't know how that works. Separate emails maybe?
