Topics I've Started

How have I not been frozen yet? (multiple accounts for years, same emails, passwords, I...

14 February 2013 - 08:46 PM

I've been playing neopets for over 10 years, and over that time I've accumulated A LOT of accounts. I have some weird thing about "fresh starts" >__<. Over all, I think I have about 10-15 accounts, on about 4 different emails. A few emails are very similar with one another and the passwords for most accounts is the same. 

 

I never really used to stress about breaking the rules, because it was never my actual intention, it was more about lazyness to switch accounts, just playing on the ones I happened to find convenient at the time. Sometimes I would transport huge amounts of np and items to different accounts. Although now that I think of it, rarely more than 500k at a time or very rare items separately... 

So I never really tried to gain any specific advantage, but would still do dailies on a few accounts a day sometimes, as well as play games etc.

 

To this date, only one account has been frozen because I used a autoscoresender thing very stupidly (I was unfamiliar with the settings). I've been ABing on two accounts since, made some millions...

 

Right now my neopoints are scattered on all my accounts. A few of my accounts share the same email with the frozen account one, yet they haven't been frozen for anything, nor received any warnings.

 


I sometimes use different browsers, but I'm rarely on two accounts at the same time. I also use up to 4 different email connections within a month, all randomly between the accounts (I use Ipad's internet, own computer, phone, parent's house)

 

How am I still alive? :D I've grown very paranoid now though, after reading so much about the ways to AVOID getting frozen and realizing that I'm doing everything possible wrong. And is there anything I can do to NOW "correct" those mistakes of mine.


The Neopets STRIKE / PROTEST

Duhm duhm duhm duuuhm, so dramatic!

 

Okay, so I'm a long time neo user, began playing back in year 2 I think. Anyway! Like many others I returned once again a year or two ago, and been on and off ever since. I've mostly played randomly, but recently I got some weird motivation spree to start playing HC properly again. With the help of AB ofc tho >__<

 

After reading a lot of complaints on these forums (what grinds your neogears, is neopets dying, why is np customer service so shitty?) as well as elsewhere...It makes me so mad to realize that all these people including me are complaining about the same things over and over again, threatening to leave neopets for these reasons while many of their friends already have...Yet TNT seems to be doing nothing about these things. I know this sounds really immature and naive, but it seriously makes me want to sign a petition, along with gathering a huge strike, especially regarding NC. To FORCE Nickelodeon/Viacom to listen and for them to do their best to restore Neopets to it's golden age. I'm not talking about going back in time, but there are so many things that we all want but their not giving us. I would give anything to have Adam and Donna back. They had a perfect vision for neopets that WORKED. Originally neopets wasn't for small kiddies and you could send neomails without having to avoid words like "asset" or "evil" (yes wtf, evil was sensored once).


And holy crap the customer service is the worst ever. I just don't get it.

 

Thing is that neopet's popularity is dropping...Of course if their current strategy was working out for them then surely they wouldn't do anything, but they don't seem to be realizing that back when many things were different Neopets was 3 times more popular (supported by numbers...)

 

TL;DR: Don't you ever feel like "HOLY CRAP WHY DO YOU SUCK SO MUCH THESE DAYS NEO, YOU USED TO BE SO MUCH BETTER - EVERYONE AGREES" that it makes you want to gather up all those billion complaints and petitions you've read into one huge strike/protest that nickelodeon couldn't ignore? T___T

 

The usual answer is "Yeh sucks but whatever, we'll still continue to play, can't do anything about it." which is true in some cases, but I know a lot of people have quit and are quitting, and not as many people are joining up because of the many mistakes that have been made in the recent years...
