ive been using this very "advanced" refresher latly, been on for about 1.5hrs a day and I havnt been frozen in 3 months.
But I have broadband internet and when I use the refresher my net slows down...does a refresher use up your net speed ???

Anything you leave on for a long peroid of time will slow down your computer. Why are you using a refresher? They dont really make a good profit anymore

[vampster]

KyleBigMac, thanks for answering so quick. I didnt know they slowed computers down *looks ashamed* lol
I was only using it to make a little bit of profit with codestones and whatever else I picked up because I dont have a clue how to use a AB and only have 150K which ive heard isnt enough to use an AB anyways.

150k is enough to ab, just aslong as your not going on toy or magic...

Yeh, even 50k is enough to make a decent profit using an AB..

She said 1hr and a half though, not 3 hrs straight. And also it depends on the place your refreshing at.

I've left mine on overnight a week (straight) and haven't been iced. It doesn't depend on the place you're refreshing or luck or any of that it's how fast you're refreshing. You'll get nabbed right away if you keep it on for long on 1m/s whereas if you leave it on for something more possible like a second you won't be frozen; that's what's working for me.

If your refreshing at a userlookup for 3hrs I think you will get caught

I think premium users get more good RE now. For normal user like myself, I usually get the Bug brothers, the ghosts or the greedy kad.

I never knew they slow your computer down I used to use them nothin happened to me

[Nythius]

Yeah, I thought refreshers were rendered useless even if you don't get frozen because you can't get squat with it compared to what you could get before.

[vampster]

yeh its true, I didnt get much, mostly Codestones and petpet maps..

But im going to start ABing, Just wonderinmg, whats best to start Abing on a low budget ?
