I'm getting confused :/

Okay, this might sound a lil bit dense but;

i've been having queries regarding account(s)

What is the difference between multiple accounts & side accounts?

 

I thought both meant the same thing?

Educate me please;

Side accounts are used almost solely for storage. Extra pets, items, etc. You cannot make neopets on these accounts. No playing games, having a shop, collecting bank interest, doing dailies, anything that would earn you items or neopoints. You are allowed to have a gallery, train pets, use the neolodge, use the soup kitchen, etc, but anything you spend money on must be funded from your main account.

 

When someone is said to be using multiple accounts, it means they are using their side accounts as a way to earn extra neopoints. They will play games on their main, then play the same games on their side to get twice as many points from 6 score sends instead of 3. They will use the extra account to collect dailies twice, freebies twice, etc. This is NOT allowed.

I see;

Thank you so much for clearing out for me.

I always wonder what side accounts are used for.

Since the rules say we cant do dailies more than one account.

But there are neopians who do it too right?

Like using their sides for dailies?

It's against the rules to do dailies on your sides, as well as do anything that might bring profit. It's considered cheating. Here's a good guide for what you can and can't do: http://www.sunnyneo.com/sideaccounts.php

 

Side accounts are usually used by people who want more than 4 pets, or want to store items/NP on a different account.

Yeah anything that is a technical profit can only be done on one account. It's why they give out items during this faerie quest thing....since you'd be getting items on multiple accounts it's against the rules. BUT if there weren't any items you'd be fine to do that.

A lot of people haves sides now because of silences that happen on the forums.
