1 email address for 4 accounts?

Thu Jul 13, 2006 1:17 am

We're allowed 5 accounts correct? 1 main, and 4 sides that we can't earn nps, etc, etc, etc. But "Since one Email may be shared by up to 4 accounts, we have included the changes that are made to each preference. " And if all of your accounts are supposed to have the same email address, what do you do with that 5th account according to the TOS?

I have five accounts on one email address and haven't had any problems. In fact, I just added the fifth account about a month ago (for my guild's store) and it went through OK.

Though now that you posted that language about the 4 accounts, I am starting to wonder if future problems are in store.

Personaly I have a different email on each of my accounts I just dont like the idea of TNT going "your cheating we seen you log on to this account and it has the same email now ALL your accounts are frozen bwawhaha" okay so maybe TNT isnt like that but I like to let each of my accounts be playable by there own I dont often switch anything from any of my accounts to another account. Now I hope someone doesnt get it in there head to be out for me and then I'm all frozen.... I dnot have anythign good really! lol

@ Rubywinged: Hmm, that is something to consider. :thinking:

I actually use the same e-mail on all my accounts so that I can transfer objects and NP between them without raising red flags on TNT's radar. Interesting that TNT only allows 4 accounts per address and 5 accounts total, though. Could it be an outdated rule from when only 4 accounts per person were allowed (if such a rule ever existed)?

I believe that rule used to exist, a long time ago. So, it's highly likely that's what it is...

Unfortunately I consider the idea of seperate emails per account a little off.
You have more of a chance getting frozen doing daily activities like transfering
food or neopoints to feed your pets on a side, etc. That's why in a recent
editorial a few months ago they instructed a person who desired to permanently
switch main accounts to have the new and old on the same email address
so when transfering pets and neopoints it didn't look like she was.. well..
hacking herself. :P

But I dont switch anything between accounts (usualy) nothing major I should say anyhow. I never feed my pets (unless for an ava) because I find it a major waist of Neopoints if you own more then one pet who cannot be satisfied with an omlette. All my pets go into the neo lodge on all my account. My logic in havin different emails is so it looks like there are simply multiable players in one house.

I use to have 2 or maybe it was 3 account WAY back in the day when it was no big deal to have more then one account and you could play on them as much as you wanted. the old rules where something along the lines of. You can play dalies on any account but if you play it on one account a certain day dont play on the other accounts. And I belive the flash games where simply you could play on all accounts if your neopoints didnt leave the account the games where played on. So basicly I just abide by the old rules wich is each account to it's own. I miss my old pets from when I 'quit' neo a long time ago.... I remember I had a Lupe named Anubis something or other I can't even find him on the site anymore :( I belive I gave him to a friend and he got painted with the lost desert paintbrush (long time ago mind you) so if you see a lupe out there with the name Anubis (and other words) he was once mind luv on him and all his glory lol :)

I sent in a report asking about this.

I am confused about how many accounts and email addresses someone can have. On one page it says 4 accounts per email address, but on the TOC it says you can have 5 accounts and that they should be on the same email. How do I follow the TOC then if I have 5 accounts?

Found on this page: http://www.neopets.com/email_pref.phtml "Since one Email may be shared by up to 4 accounts, we have included the changes that are made to each preference."

Found on this page: http://www.neopets.com/terms.phtml "6. You May Only Have Five Accounts Because Your Pets Need Your Attention... You may freely transfer items among your accounts but they should be on the same e-mail address as your main account."

I apologize in advance that this is slightly off topic and it's probably been answered before, but I've spent the last half hour looking and haven't found it. With the rule about not having a shop on an alternate accounts, how are we supposed to get neopoints to expand our galleries? o_O

I think you're supposed to send them from your main account
