What's the point of making multiple accounts on the same IP?

    with different emails? Cause if you cheat on one account, wouldn't that flag all of the accounts on the same IP?

    Some people think that if you don't interact the accounts at all with eachother and the names and all info are completely different they won't be flagged / frozen if one is. I disagree with this but, that's just me.

    I feel like for a small offense, TNT won't go digging through your IP address to ban every single one of them. So that's why I think some people make multiple accounts on the same IP. I don't know much about how their banning process is but I feel like it'd be such a hassle for every little offense that they go finding every account that's used that IP to ban. And there's always siblings, friends, public computers, etc that may have the same IP somewhere. Looks like so much of a hassle (then again, I could be very wrong.)

    Yea, I've done so to use the accounts to act as if they are siblings. That way if TNT freezes one of them for illegit activity, they won't chain the rest. Works like a charm. :p

    They only IP ban for major cheating. Most of the time, its chain icing through email.

    What exactly is major cheating? Does Abing count as major cheating? Is major cheating like some site sploit abuse.

    Exploits I would say, cookie grabbing or basically any thing that'll harm the site and/or other users.

    Well it depends on what you're gonna use them for. If you are cheating on them and you are smart about it, avoiding getting iced, then you could make a lot more money. for instance when you're abing and you get rs banned a back up is always good to have ;)

    They definitely dont restock ban by IP. Thats by individual account.

    I use a dynamic IP address, so if I create a bunch of sheels on my IP, in a few months when they are aged to use, I can just use one or two a time, and since my IP address has changed since the time the accounts were created, there is no longer any correlation between the accounts, as long as I dont just go log into all of them once they've matured.

    I have a question,

    If I logged on to Neo on my main PC, then logged on again to my laptop, will I be frozen?

    Some people link them others just have many side accounts. That's for legit playing though or you're just asking to get iced

    It just all depends how often you are using all of those accounts
