Novelista Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I consider one of these "half help/half personal experience" and another "what's your experience on this?" so that's why I'm posting in general... ~*~ My heartmom really likes bunnies, so I was thinking about a cybunny for her. Trouble is, I noticed that cybunnies are only released on April 27. Except, the page I read (maybe here?) said that LE pets are sometimes released on the site's birthday. Have any of you ever seen that happen, or was it just something that's happened in times past? Also I know you used to be able to create and send a neopet and now it's just "send a pic of what you have". (Has it always been that way? Is my mind just fried after twelve years?) Anyway, I was thinking about creating an account for my mom and just letting it age until next Tuesday if it's likely that cybunnies will pop up. However, I was wondering if any of you have personal experience with creating accounts for others? How well does it work? (i.e.: Do they say "no thank you" more often than not?)

siniri Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Technically it's against the rules to create an account for someone else. I know someone who did it for her daughter's birthday (she didn't let her daughter play until she was 6, and the daughter knew what kind of pet she wanted, etc.), but that's a little different than doing it for an adult. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with creating a nice welcome gift for your friend. There was a thread a while back on suggestions for a gift for a new mom whose time on Neopets was going to be limited, and I think there have been threads on "ideal newbie packs," too -- you might want to search the forums for these ideas (they included NP, a paintbrush, Forbidden Shore map, some clothing items, maybe some starter weapons, etc.). You can transfer pets between accounts through the pound, sending them directly from one account to another. But both accounts have to be several months old before you can do that. I think some of the LE pets have limits on who can adopt them, too (you can send a pet through the pound, by abandoning and having her adopt, but it's always risky, and if the pet is LE and well-named, very risky -- especially if the intended recipient has a restriction on their account).

Nimphal Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 What do you mean by send a pet? Pets can be transferred from one account to another without an issue (except Lutaris, but that doesn't matter here). Cybunnies being LE means the account needs to be aged to be able to accept that transfer, though (I think 4 months?). Easiest way I can see for you to achieve what you want is to create a Cybunny that is either named after her or in honour of her and show it to her. You could either adopt a Cybunny from the pound (I have seen them floating around) or if you want it to have a specific name, create the pet with the name and morph it into a Cybunny afterwards.

And that, my dear, is why you are a super member. :D Truthfully, I like the welcome pack idea a little bit better...that way, if she were to say, "No thank you" then I could just sell everything off--no harm done.
