Farming/Dummy Accts

Can you just put any made up email address when you create an account, or does it have to be real?

Where do you make these disposable accts?

Any tips for managing this type of thing?

Goto to DDO main page and select "play for free now"
Create an account.
Email doesn't have to be real - just checks the format as xx@yy.com
There is no confirmation.

For bank mules - you get 2 toons per FTP.  limited in what they can do and hold, but 80 slots.

Favor running - run the toons to whatever favor level you want, then delete them, recreate, rinse and repeat.

So I don't have to bother with an email addy?  That streamlines things a fair bit.  Thanx.

I actually created one email for my mules, but use the same email (with a +??) identified in each one in case I get any notifications thru on them.

You don't need to though if it is a disposable account.

Why would you farm TP on a dummy account?

It's not my primary goal. 

I wasn't around for the anniversary cards, so I never got to roll for more.  No one's offered to hand me a dozen of each, so I'm going to roll some toons on dummy accounts and level them to 4 to open the box.

I'll invite the dummies into my guild, score some renown off them.


I should be near 100 TP by that point, so I will run another one on the same account on another server to get another 100 TP.

Then I'll log them in on my server, they'll buy AS and put it in the guild's ship bank.

Losing 10% of their renown when they leave the guild won't be a huge hardship and I'll keep them around in case we ever get another coupon for AS or something comes up where I need to farm again.

What server are you on?  I could cover you on Cannith, any of the others I might be able to send a handful.  You can still buy them on open trade though.  You might end up paying a mill plus pp, but that's how I got my set - took me a few weeks but eventually got them all.  Buying them will be way quicker than grinding out mules for the 5 random cards each.

Gmail accounts work well for this kind of thing. See below for a tip shamelessly ripped from somewhere on the interwebs.
---
Let’s say that your email address is ‘GeorgeBush@gmail.com’, basically everything sent to any of the following email addresses will be forwarded to your primary email.
GeorgeBush@gmail.com
G.eorgeBush@gmail.com
Ge.orgeBush@gmail.com


GeorgeBus.h@gmail.com

And so on.

I'm on Ghallanda.

Since I've come back, I've found a good number of my better friends don't seem to be around any more.  I own a guild, but it's a shell.

I sort of made up my mind, when I decided to come back to DDO that I'd pretty much solo and if I got lucky with the LFMs, then that would be fine.  When I quit last time round, it was because the social aspect had declined.

But now I'm content to do things on my own.    It keeps me outta RL trouble.

And here I was sure that I wasn't going to learn much at the Vault.  That's kind of cool.

Not much but I have cards I, II, III, and V on Ghallanda.  PM me a toon to send them to and they're yours.

But GeorgeBush1@gmail.com would be a distinct, possibly actual email address from GeorgeBush@gmail.com.

However, if I owned the email address pocketlass@gmail.com I could create multiple aliases by inserting any of the characters gmail would not allow me to use when creating the acct.

e.g. pocket_lass@gmail.com, pocket.lass@gmail.com, pocketlass_@gmail.com, pocketlass.@gmail.com, pocket-lass@gmail.com

They would all actually end up to the pocketlass@gmail.com account  Just by inserting one extra character (like a period), I could create 11 aliases that would all have their emails delivered to pocketlass@gmail.com

Gmail does allow you to use numbers in your address name, so it would not work for creating aliases for one account.

It's kind of you, but those seem to be the easiest to roll.  I've got them.
