I want to start a new account and train a really good pet. I want to make the new account and then transfer my 11 mil or so over to it and then start training. I'm going to Self-freeze my old account and use the new one only. Will neo freeze me for this, or is the perfectly legal?

Oh it's legal, but they're still freeze you anyway. They think you're a scammer taking the NP, so they'll freeze both the accounts.

If you are going to freeze your old account anyway, why not just put your pets in the pound and train a pet on your current account. That is so much safer.

it's prolly something that's perfectly legal but can get you frozen anyway. like giving people gifts.
it's also kind of a waste of time, when you can just pound your pets and get a new trainer on your current account. there's no reason to do what you're suggesting, unless you REALLY hate your account name.

Legal, but you will be frozen for scamming yourself or usin multiple accounts or something.

Depending on how much you transfer, you may or may not be iced. I've transferred 6 Lab Map pieces, a faerie, and about 200K in NPs in one day, and neither account was frozen. The danger, though real, is often overstated. But if you're transferring a lot, don't take the risk.

It's a risk to take.
It's legal actually, and I did transfer money from acciunt (like 1k or something, I know it's not much at all but anyway)
I never got caught, maybe it was because it was such a small montant.
You decide what you want to do... But if ever you get caugh, you'll never see your account back again.

i've transfered millions before. when my old username doesnt suit me any more i move on. dont sweat it. the neopets team is too busy freezing people for nothing.

I've done exactly that, except I only transferred a few hundred k, not 11mill. I emailed tnt beforehand though, and they said it was fine. Still, better safe than sorry eh? Be very careful.

I was hoping we'd hear something like this...
Email them if you can... and go ahead and state the account names... and hope for a response

yup, email them first to state that you're transferring accounts and ask if you'll be frozen for doing so. When they reply, go ahead and do all the necessary things, so if you do get frozen you can prove that you had already informed someone about the transfer.

I agree. Ask for the support staff's advice before you make the transfer. Tell them what you are planning to do and why you are planning to do so, and ask if that is OK to do. If someone responds and says it is OK and you are later frozen by someone else, you can refer them to the email from that support person who said it was OK. Also, make it clear that you are the same person who owns both accounts--same email address, name, etc. so they don't think you are someone who scammed the old account and are transferring the goods to the new account.
