    Is it safer to ab on weekends rather than weekdays? Does it cut the chance of getting iced down?
    If so, how long would you recommend me abing for?

    it is safer as in tnt won't found out really fast.
    but the servers are still on. So if you play it smart and you know what you do with transferring np/ items i would recommend to ab on weekend more than you usually do.
    If you are just new to ab-ing i wouldn't do it if i were you.
    just keep it to the regular times. :)

    Chances are you won't get iced for ABing on the weekends. But as Monday rolls around, you will get iced if you ABed irresponsibly over the weekend.

    Yeah because most people play mainly on weekends so TNT won't notice as much

    during weekends, tnt still has automated bots online to automatically freeze any obvious non-legitimate buyers. I believe it may submit suspicious buys to be reviewed by a real human and then when monday/tuesday comes around you may be frozen. so by ABing on weekends your are most likely just buying yourself time

    I have to agree with synthetic. Automated bots would be able to track things even if lots of people are playing. But by the same token, smart ABing can make all the difference, imo. Ive seen more than a couple accounts be lost to greediness.

    I've gotten frozen on the weekend before. BUT I was abing with 5 accounts at the same time on the same IP. It's possible :p

    that's not necissarily true i mean tnt has to take a break every now and then too they aren't robots that can sit at their computers all day and just wait for cheaters to come by otherwise all of us would be completely screwed :arf:

    You can believe me. It's true. TNT has visited not once this community. We aren't screwed because we don't give too much information regarding our accounts and possesions we got on neopets.

    You're right in a thing though. TNT is in break now and they don't sit at the computers watching us all day :)
