I am currently living with my sister, and my niece would like to join, I was wondering what the rules are in these circumstances?

Can she use my referral to sign up? 

Am I allowed to send her a few things to help her start out?

I´d love to know the rules for accs under the same ip as well. I´m playing, my fiancé is playing, and we´d like to breed different kinds of pets - I´m more into Pumas, Unicorns and Symurghs at this time, while he is looking for Dragons, Griffons/Rocs and defintely Lykose.

Would it be considered cheating if we trade pets after catching them or adopting them from pound on a 1-1 Basis?

We both started on the same day within a few hours from each other, so there won´t be too much of a kickstart if we help each other, i believe.

But I´d hate being banned for cheating or double-accounting, since it´s defintely two persons and the game itself just too much fun!

Please post your Shared IP's here: http://beastkeeper.com/thread/270 (Just say which Users are associated). 

Of course she can use your referral. Rack up that gold!! :D (Since she is indeed a whole 'nother person, not you making accounts just for gold). 

Neither cases sound like they would be flagged as Multi-Accounting. And we NEVER ban without giving the user(s) a chance to explain themselves. 

What we use to judge Multi-Accounting is IP Addresses to start... That helps us identify and solidify our suspicions. Usually, it isn't too hard to tell who is a multi-accounter without even looking at message/transfer logs or IP addresses. You wouldn't believe some of the crazy things we have dealt with!

From there we look at the transfer logs and message history. Does this seem to be one person (no messages/fake messages)? Does it seem like the transfers are all heavily one sided (we look at "fair trade"). Helping a new user is not considered Multi-Accounting... Generally that is fairly obvious as someone helping and not dumping pets into a mule for space or something similar. 

Let me know if you have more questions! :)

thanks night :)
