What is the definition of a shell account?

[Strategist]

It is any account that is 4 months or older, usually used to autobuy on, or scoresend, transfer pets to. Basically it usually has no avatars, np, site themes, trophies, just a "shell".

Its an account which you keep totally seperate to your main (different proxies + stuff), and you only use it to make neopoints (and the above mentioned things), normally in illegit ways.

Ah okay...I had a backwards mentallity on it and it made no sense. So it's a wealthy account that looks like nothing's on it?

It's not really a shell once you start doing things on it.

But alot of the times they are used to sell NP or high end items, you just put it on the shell, let it rot for awhile so you know its safe and don't touch it, then sell the shell with the item/np.

^ What Strat said. There's not much on the account so you don't "lose" much if the account gets frozen. However, I think they are more likely to get frozen as they don't look as "legit" as an account with other things on it and some accomplishments.

yeah amanda is also right. You dont want to go doing a shitton of stuff on it if youre going to keep it a shell. I have had numerous shells frozen for AB'ing etc etc the usual crap, but i find its more productive to have a string of main-like 'shell' accounts to use instead. Makes it look a tad more legit that way.

[Wahammy]

So having a good amount of avatars (including MSPP), play games, andhave a shop/gallery would make it look a lot more legit?

[Strategist]

well not necessarily MSPP or any of the 'big 3' avvies but if you wanted to look more legit, yeah a decent avatar count/games played/gallery/shop etc etc would be a plus.

But then its really not a shell is it? More like a main

An empty account used for cheating purposes.

Quick question since I'm new to using ABrosia. Is it safe to lower the AAA refresh rate to 1 second? Thanks in advance

You need to be an advanced member to change refresh times.

Lowering = more risky. But potential for higher profits.

Risk and profits have a positive correlation. It just depends on how risky you're willing to get.
