    Advice on Rebuilding?

    Hi! If you saw my thread before, my main was recently frozen. I've decided to rebuild, but not entirely sure where to start? There's a lot to do and I'm afraid my budget is pretty minimal for the time being so buying a lot of pure/ets etc. is out of the question since I want to start by getting an aged shell.

    How did you guys do it? Did you focus on building up an account first or getting the pets you want? Did you join a guild?
    (is there a clraik guild i trust you guys more than regular users lmao)

    I'd love to buy UCs again one day, but I need to have a good looking account first (and money ^q^).

    Thank you!

    The best thing to do if you haven't an aged account of yours: buy an decent aged shell. and I am talking about 13+ years.

    Then... just think that "what an person that has come back from a long hiatus should do?". And do exactly that.

    I mean, its not that hard. just try to not catch attention to your account

    I've been asking around the site about buying an aged shell since I'm super name fussy, so that's my first goal!
    And I know it's not hard, there's just a lot to think about doing so I'm a bit overwhelmed with the idea of starting from scratch, is all!

    Starting to bulk up avatar/stamp/neodeck counts can be easy and cheap. SSing trophies off the bat can seem odd- I always find it suspicious when people have flash game trophies but not the super easy ones like cheat, solitaire/pyramids bonus, cellblock, etc. In my mind, the more 'uncheatable' looking trophies you have, the more legit your account seems.

    Rather than an aged "shell" you might be better off buying a semi or starter main. It would certainly be easier to look legit if you had some older trophies and avatars rather than using a 15 year old account that obviously only just started to play.

    Instead of creating VWN new pets to train/paint/custom, get hold of some older ones either surf the pound for a name you like or see if someone here has any pets you could have.

    If there's anything you need to help you get started, let me know

    I would buy a semi-main but sadly I'm kinda broke right now. ^q^ I spent a Lot of money on my UCs just in the last two months so I don't really have the budget for a great account, unless semis sell for $20 or less aha...

    And thank you for the offer! I'm not sure yet since getting an account is my first priority but once I'm back on the site I'll see what I need to do!

    (also sidenote but you live in Manchester? Me too!)

    I'm actually from Ireland but I live in Failsworth when I'm not at uni! I almost never meet people from Manchester online, usually if they're in England they're from the south.

    And I'm pretty name picky sadly, since I'm looking for a main...I did have an account in mind but it's against the rules to ask for specific accounts, sadly. ^q^

    Pretty close then, currently near Stockport here. Yeah, usually bloody Cockneys

    Well, if you think of anything I can help with just let me know. I have plenty of pets and accounts lying around.

    i'll tell you my experience this time, i got an old account first, even with just a few retireds and focused on avatars first since this is my main goal when playing neo, then i decided to start feedad kads since it was something that would 'expose' me, when i got done with them, i brought some ucs to the account that already has 310+ avies and no one seen to notice it
