So I'm curious about the risk of buying accounts...I'm not interested in using proxies...I want all my accounts to appear legit and only earn NP on my main anyway. I've bought accounts with FFQ's and shells with NP on and looking to get some aged accounts for pet holding/trading....problem is they've been used by someone else previously....and they have different emails attached to them (obviously, that I have never used before). Won't it look weird if I suddenly login to these accounts and claim them as my sides? Plus NP has been earned on them by the original sellers...So I'm bit stumped as what I can do in order to use the FFQ's for pet trading and how to get the NP off the shell?

Halp. >.<

    If you only want to store pets on them, why not just create your own side accounts? Then you get to save money and not risk getting iced

    As with buying pets / items / abing / everything on this side there is a risk. It's helpful to know when the last time the last owner was on the shell earning NP, and how they earned np (EX. playing legit if safer than abing, which is safer than score sending)
    I always change the emails from accounts i buy (also a security measure so they can't access your new PW)

    as for NP, if it's not a ton, you don't really need to transfer it, i just let NP sit (sometimes you need it to pay the pet transferral fee afterall)
    another way to make it slightly safer is if you use a proxy the first few times you log on to change the info. Ask your seller what area they're from and find an online proxy close to that area.

    If you only want to store pets on them, why not just create your own side accounts? Then you get to save money and not risk getting iced


    older accounts get more transfers :p also the reason why i have 8 non-AB AAA shells ;o;

    well...... I have ever bought an account and I think there's still a little bit risky. However, finally gets well.
    Also, if you buy an account, one of the most important thing is that you have to know what you do, which means you have to set yourAB or transfer your items more meticulously, so TNT would make less attention to you Posted Image

    You don't have to claim them as your side?
    You can always use the account to go PC to trade the FFQ and tell traders it's a side but you don't have to reveal your main, no one will know anyway. :)

    How much NP is it? If it's not a lot I would just leave it on the shell to minimize interaction with my main.

    Honestly, if you're only storing pets...you should be relatively safe assuming the account hasn't been cheating a ton or anything. I've found that if you are relatively quiet on an account (ie. no/very little np making) you're flying under the radar enough to not get caught. Of course, this is not 100% failsafe but just a thought.
