Hello everyone! I made this account quite a while ago, but lost interest in Neopets a short while after, so I've never really touched it until now. Recently got back to playing again, and thought I'd check this place out.

 

Kind of a newbie to all this, but hoping to learn a lot.

 

Just a quick question though - I've looked through most of the guides in the guide directory, but it seems like a lot of them were written with "common sense" in mind, so excuse me if this is a stupid question - but do most of y'all use the cheating programs on shell accounts and never on your main?

 

Cause now that I'm back my main is like 8+ years old, and really wouldn't want to lose it. For stuff like ABing or SSing, are shells pretty much necessary, or can you do them on your main too but just really, really cautiously?

 

Anyway, that's it. Looking forward to seeing what this community brings!

Welcome to Codex :D

To answer your question: it isn't mentioned what type of account to use because that's up to you :) some people don't like to risk their main, so they use shells, others don't really care (like me) and use their main accounts :p

The risk is probably the same, no matter the account, but if you have a main looking shell, it's definitely safer than a shell looking shell hahaha

Hi, welcome to Codex! Kudos to actually reading some guides :p

 

As for your question about using shells vs mains, it differs from person to person.  Basically if you use a program on your main you are putting it at risk of being frozen regardless of how safe you are. That can be said without using programs on your main, you are still at risk of being frozen because TNT is stupid. If you dont want to see that 8+ year old account go down the drain, I would invest in some shells and proxies.

Very true! :) Do you still use the default/recommended (or safer?) settings when doing illegal stuff on your main, or is it just 'cause you don't care what happens to your main?

I got to the point where I want to get frozen so I have a reason to stop playing, but also don't want to get frozen because I'll be sad :p but before that, I still used risky settings, because for some reason TNT seemed to ignore what I used to do (it was more than obvious that I cheated lol). Luck is a big factor in that too, but better safe than sorry.

Welcome to codex! I cheat on my main and I do have shell accounts, but I really only use those shell accounts during the AC to score send for Team Codex. As for settings on the ABer, you don't have the ability to change those from the defaults really. Only advanced members or higher have the ability to do that. The defaults have been tested though, and are set that was as to be as safe as we can make ABing.

Hello!  I'm new so I can't answer any questions. xD But I think whether you use those programs on your main or not is up to you.  There are people who cheat all the time and never got caught, but I know people who did it once and got caught right away.  I guess it's just luck.
