ashwee Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Have any of you created a new main account because you finally got the user name you want? I did, but now I'm having the "Aged Account Blues." :sad02: I miss having the benefits of having aged account (ie being able to place higher bets in the FC, being able to go to the Abandoned Attic without having to transfer NP, etc). Does anyone else feel it would be kind of cool to "transfer" your age to a new account? I know it might be improbable, but I still think it would be a nice feature! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mine turtle Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 No sadly no::(: I know it stinks all the cool pound pets! It would be nice though being looked under those restrictions are horrible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice though being looked under those restrictions are horrible! Tell me about it! :( I have to wait several months before I can even transfer my zapped pets from my old main to my new one because of the transfer restrictions. I understand why TNT has those restrictions (especially because there are people who abuse making new accounts to hoard LE/UC pets), but it kinda sucks for the rest of us.

Rebecca~ Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yeah. :( Having a brand new username is lovely, but I always hated the loss of all those perks! I'm at the point now where I get a discount at the HT too... I wouldn't want to lose that! Plus all my avvies and trophies. Ugh. Being able to rename your account would be lovely, but TNT has already said it's imposssible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to rename your account would be lovely, but TNT has already said it's imposssible. Yeah... I remember an editorial about it a long while back! I wonder if the transferring the years from an old account would be easier? Kekeke. I wouldn't mind if TNT was able to do that ^_^ Oooh! I just thought of an interesting dilemma now that you brought up HT. TNT says you can't buy from the HT from side accounts... but what if your main doesn't even have access to the HT yet? I wouldn't dare test that without asking through the editorial, but I thought that was a unique problem. I wish I had done research before creating a new main, but I guess the excitement at finally getting the name got to me hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember of the editorials, the HT is kind of treated like the AAA- if you only have access to it on a side (or to the discount), then it's fine. You can't do it on a side AND on your main. Alas, I doubt transferring the years to a new account would be any easier. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiiesque Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 This is what I'm struggling with now, I'm just now at the age where I can finally do one transfer a month, but boy, I miss my three. I also miss my site themes and the few trophies I did have, and the now retired avvies. But I'm so in love with my new main name, I don't think I could give it up. Kind of wish if you can't rename, you could do something like a merge - I dunno. Rebecca~ and evil_minx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataluna Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 i have been thinking about it, since i spend the majority of my time on my side anyway, but i would miss my avvies, my habi and all the older account perks :( i have some trophies from past plots and avatars, which i love, and couldn't let go, even though i really hate my old account name :K i wish we were allowed to rename our accounts, *sigh* but Neo isn't set up for it, nor do i think its possible, for us to have that. but it would be nice :D i do see the risks in allowing us to rename though >_> scams and so on..

SidtheSnail Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Honestly, I think the account restrictions based on age are totally fair. It`s to prove you`re not just buggering around, you want to be there long term. It`s no different than anything else in life, you can`t just have everything immediately, you have to stick around and earn it.

The Bandit Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm intrigued by this! I would never even dream of giving up all my trophies, perks etc., just to get a new name :whaa: unless maybe i was called uglywobblebottom or something... what name did you guys have that was so dreadful? karmacow and Wildbreeze 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree! My whole basis for earning neopoints is on my account age. Plus, my username doesn't bother me enough to ever want to change it. It's not worth it for me, no matter what account name is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely nice to have rewards based on how long we've been with Neo... they are nice incentives to keep us staying long term. :) And it does help to weed out those that are trying to take advantage of others. I'm intrigued by this! I would never even dream of giving up all my trophies, perks etc., just to get a new name :whaa: unless maybe i was called uglywobblebottom or something... what name did you guys have that was so dreadful? It was a hard decision! I made my old main back when I was really young and Neopia was flourishing with users. Finding a good name was EXTREMELY difficult. Many years later, the name I was stalking became available so I jumped on it. So now my old has become my side and I'm only now questioning my actions LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninth Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 No, I would never switch mains, I'm just too sentimental and nostalgic with my account. Plus I worked wicked hard on it and would never be able to start over and make a new main just as awesome. Finn the Human 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
