Neopets Account Question

#1 Post by mo0ck »

Due to many techincal problems with my ISP.

I continuely have to switch the ways my modem is setup.

e.x
-----

Modem ----> Computer
Modem ----> Router ----> Computer
Network Bridged (Modem) ----> Computer
Network Bridged (Modem) ----> Router ----> Computer

All are given a new assigned ip.
What should I do inorder for myself to not be banned, when having to log on from another ip, from another setup.

Same ISP Company.

Thanks,
Mo0ck

I do believe that TNT looks for accounts logged into two IPs at the SAME TIME. I can play from work, home, a friends, the library ect....

I heard that some internet providers, on some plans, can have different IPs every time you use it. They don't get frozen for it.

My friend, had his account frozen because of signing in from another ip, when under a router, reason was;

"Account accessed by someone other than the owner"

Or something along those lines.
I'm moving to New Zealand, and don't want to have to have my account frozen, from accessing my neopets account from another country 8)

I've accessed my account from mutliple computers in various locations in the past, and I've yet to be frozen. My IP address also seems to change regularly. I'm not sure why your friend was frozen, but I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Where in New Zealand do you live?

Would I have to inform Neopets about me moving?

You wouldn't need to tell them, people access neopets from all over the place all the time. My IP changes every time I access the internet, and I've played neopets from other countries, other computers etc etc for years and years. It's only if two different IPs are ACTIVE in the same account at the same time that you will get frozen for multiple users.

Any sense?

I don't think anybody actually knows exactly how paranoid their IP-monitoring is. At the very least, they let the multiple-proxy ISPs like AOL live -- and allow people to log in from different computers.
If it's even remotely sane, you shouldn't get banned. If you're moving to a different country, swap country in your profile settings -- might or might not do anything.

Ya, as long as your signed out from the original your fine. I'm often signed in from AOL and Netscape without being banned and I've been doing that for years. Good luck.
