    If you didn't use a different IP for your NPs selling business, it's normal that all the accounts you have accessed on your computer have been frozen because they fit your IP as 1 user. Unfortunately, there's no chance you can get these accounts back, but next time, be sure to use a different IP than your main!

    but i mean, i got the impression that "chain" freezings usually all happen at once? i've been frozen for buying and selling before and i just made a new account no problem. it's weird that only after i log into these accounts i'm getting frozen, and the reason is buying and selling neopoints. do i pretty much have a scarlet letter now on this ip like "WILL PROBABLY BUY OR SELL NEOPETS IN THE FUTURE BAN ON SIGHT"? lol

    and there's definitely not going to be a next time, i'm done with neo.

    Neopets states that you are free to create a new account as long as you don't break the rules but this is a lie. If you have the same IP and they froze you for purchasing neopoints or using a cheating program I'd be hesitant to use any account you care about.

    I don't think you were IP banned, because if you were, if you try to register an account, it will just redirect you to the main page.
    Correct me if I'm wrong though. If you ever want to play Neo again, I suggest you take a few months (or weeks) off.

    TNT has been pretty careful these days and seem to freeze people who have some cheater history. D:
    I have never been frozen for that reason so I'm not sure, but I guess you should hold off Neo for a little while before creating/using a new account if you don't want it to get frozen also

    yeah that's why i was confused, i thought a fresh account was a clean slate. i guess if i really cared i could open a bunch of tickets and pester them as to what exactly they thought i bought on the account (one of them was literally an empty account with two basic pets i created, no games played, nothing- i was hoarding names lol) but i don't care enough to go through the wait and effort. it is probably something with my IP then, if I'm not banned then maybe its just flagged or something weird.

    Reset IP.

    Call ISP.
    Any weak excuse will get them to do it for you.
    It costs them nothing, is instantaneous, and you're a paying customer, after all.
