Getting frozen?

I see posts on the neoboards all the time about people being frozen,
so I'm nervous.
I've been playing a few years and have a lot of neopoints, nice
"house", cute pets, etc. I'm not really a gamer, so I make most of my
points through my store.
Lately, I'm hooked on Plushie Tycoon and my husband was curious about
what I was doing. He wanted to play too, so we set him up with a
neopets account. He mostly plays PT, but occasionally looks at other
games. (Probably less than a dozen total.) He usually plays on his
computer and I play on mine, but his security settings don't allow him
to access certain areas, so he comes to my computer to log in. This is
usually for things like feeding his pet, etc. that give him an error
message. He's mostly there to try PT, so he doesn't do the freebies or
anything other than to get food to keep his pet from dying.

I'm not good at many games, and I don't have a huge store, so it's
obvious I'm not cheating at anything, but I am worried about my
husband and I playing on the same internet connection and rarely, his
using my computer. Is this going to be a problem for us?

I know it's only a game, but I've spent over three years collecting
neopoints, etc. just for the fun of seeing how many I can get. I'd
hate to lose that!

Is there anything we should know or do?

It should be okay. My brother and I play Neopets on the same computer (and
play games too).

Just make sure one account is completely logged out before logging on with
the second account.

Also, you might want to open up a brand new window for the second account
(when that is used)....

Make sure that you do not do the one-a-day and shockwave games back to back
on different accounts. If you have to play the games on one computer - have
one account do them in the mornings or afternoons and the other person in
the evenings - neo tracks these

TNT have said over and over that they do not penalise households where
more than one person plays and there are of course plenty of them.

They do have rules around dailies and so on though so making sure the
accounts look like they are two people is probably important. I work on
another game and when we suspect people have two accounts we look at things
like is the password the same (people are basically lazy and many multi
accounters just have the same password), what is the timing on the log ins
(log ins constantly very close together being more likely to be a single
person) and even content and how it is played. We like to think we don't
catch many actual households and say that they are the same person. I don't
know how Neo does it of course but there are only so many things that can be
seen on their end about your account.
