You were lucky -- even using a "test" account. If you had been caught, you might have been frozen and IP banned (I know, before you all say it, IP can be changed -- somehow). I'm really glad that didn't happen to you.
You know, when they recently froze so many people who were using ab'ers, there were some innocent people frozen for it too. I'm wondering if, when the code for the shops was changed, there were some shops that weren't updated immediately. If they weren't and someone went to rs in those shops, they would be making a request of the old code, which is probably what triggered them being frozen. And the really sad part is, the unfairly frozen for using an ab'er will more than likely never get their accounts back.
I have not actually seen the new shop codes. I'm on dial up which is slow and difficult enough to try to rs (even without ab'ers!). When the code was first instituted, I checked out a couple of shops. I couldn't get a single thing so I've given up completely on restocking in main shops. In a way, I guess that's good -- no worries (hopefully) about being frozen for using an ab.
But there's alot of people complaining that the new code is almost unreadable. Maybe they could change it so it's more like the new log in code - larger font and random, different styles of fonts. Wouldn't that make it alot harder for someone to use an ab program? And at the same time make it easier for honest players to try to catch some restocks? Just pondering...
