    Hi everyone, I have a couple questions for whoever can answer.

    1. Could Neopets ice me for logging on back and forth between different accounts? I would think not because it could easily be that I have a household of siblings and several usernames. Am I right? :\
    2. If I were to get caught transferring NP to my main account from a side account, which account would they be more likely to freeze? The main one, or the side one?
    3. If I were to be frozen for ABing, would it be permanently? What about for transferring NP?

    And a question to do with ABing specifically...
    Would they get suspicious if I only used the program for like, 5 minutes as opposed to an hour or 2 hours, etc?

    I just want to take all measures to make sure that I don't get iced under any circumstances. :p Thanks to those of you who can answer my questions! :)

    If they knew you were using two accounts I'd think they'd ice both. Not 100% sure though.

    Number 1: No
    Number 2: Most likely both.
    Number 3: If you were caught ABing, you'd be frozen permanently

    It doesn't matter how many side accounts soy create for abing, if youre using them in the same computer and with the same internet service they can ice your main too, becausre they check your IP address. And for ABing, if you get caught you'll be frozen permanently, and it doesn't matter if you just use the AB for like 1 min and then you stop it, because they can ice u anyway. I've known people that has been iced for using an ABer for the first time and less than an hour, so if you AB be sure that someday they'll catch you :yup:

    Ugh, maybe I'll just stick to manual restocking, lol. Too much risk involved in ABing. :\ Thanks for the info. :)

    You just have to be CAREFUL about it! And human-like!

    I don't get proxies one bit, and I have no side accounts. So obviously i AB on my main account WITHOUT a proxy. I have YET to be iced doing this. and I've made over 2.5 million from ABing in the igloo and the main shops.

    Make your refresh times human like, and have them vary (see igloo autobuyer advanced refresh settings) so it looks more like you're ACTUALLY doing it. I've left my Igloo ABer on OVERNIGHT! And done it plenty of times and nothing has happened. It's easy enough to reset your IP address every now and then too if you're worried. When I MS-AB, I maybe leave it run for an hour, or switch between shops so it looks more realistic, you know?

    I haven't gotten frozen yet and I'm up to 3.1 mil so we'll see! :) Don't be *TOO* deterred. You CAN autobuy, it's just a matter of doing it as carefully as possible.

    --Knocks on wood-- (Just in case!!)

    Thank you for those tips! I guess I'll continue to AB, but sparingly, just to be on the super safe side. :p

    2-3 hours with around 30 mins rest in between is a good timing for me :p

    No problem-- Keep in mind that TNT doesn't work on the weekends and you'd be safer to AB then too (there's still a risk but less of one...)

    IP adresses don't matter as much as email adresses. If you have five accounts on the same IP but with different emails, it coudl be different members of you family. I use two emails, one for my main account and side and a disposable email for a bot side. That way, I can always blame it on a brother or sister. :D

    1. Doesn't matter.
    2. Little Chance
    3. Get caught and the IP might even get banned, so watch out.

    Thats why your supposed to use proxies (on any one acct.). That way TNT wont know that your the same person.
    If youre not using a proxy, I think they would freeze both accounts.

    I tried using a proxy but when I set it up, webpages wouldn't show up and I'd get that "this page cannot be found" message. :\
