How do I get an alt 'officially' declared as an alt?

I know its got to be somewhere in support tickets...

But if I wanted to get some of my avatars linked together as my alts, how would I do it, and what are the benefits of doing so? Detriments to doing it (if they are both premium accounts, would linking them mess up my tier payments)?

I'm not talking about a scripted agent, but an alt. Another avatar that I use to explore, build, socialize, work, etc.

To my knowledge, SL has no such thing; each av is a separate account.

Back in 2007 I had three premium accounts. I shared land between them by having a group that is only me and my alts. That way each could contribute tier, plus I got the 10% group tier bonus.

Nod.

That's kind of hat I thought too.

But I keep hearing it mentioned here and there in various topics.

Log your alt onto the Resident Answer forums and make a post denying that you are an alt of Pussycat Catnap. In no time at all people will be declaring to the contrary making you an official RA forum certified alt of Pussycat Catnap.

Not sure exactly what you mean but I got my NPIOF alts account verified status so they could visit adult land by submitting a support ticket.

Didn't know people could. Good to know.

I don't plan to...But others might want to know if it's possible.

Was there ever an announcement about that? Maybe should've been.

No official announcement, Blondin told us it was something we could do at one of his office hours.

Ty. I wish they'd make more FAQs when they make changes, then, I guess.

I just put the same credit card information on my alt as I did my main and she can also go to adult land - no need to put in tickets or anything like that unless you are determined to be Data Min....Age Verified.

The closest you can do right now to "formally" associalting one account with another is to use the same payment info and RL info for both. You can do that with up to 5 accounts per payment method, and can go in indefinitely until you run out of credit cards. I suppose as long as you use the same RL personal info when registering, it doesn't matter if the payment methods are different. But they only let you enter the full info when you add a payment method, or at account creation (for a limited subset of RL info (name and birthdate and e-mail, as I recall).

You can also register them all as "verified adults" with Aristotle, if you don't mind dealing with that data mining company. But supposedly Aristotle doesn't retain or pass on to LL anything other than a yes/no flag stating that the avatar in question passed their dubious "checks" for having presented valid ID. So if LL and Aristotle are telling us the truth, that does not actually "link" the avatars.

You could also go over to Avatars United's website, register both accounts as linked to you, and make that info public. But that is just telling the world that you own both accounts, and doesn't do squat for LL's official status of the accounts.

And none of the above gives you the slightest benefits for the accounts being "linked".

Well you can do that, I'm not a fan of putting my payment info in several places but submitting a ticket doesn't take you through the age verification process, LL just tick a flag to make you account verified, age verified parcels none of my alts can enter.

I don't see why LL having your info twice or three times is any worse than having it once and the nice thing about doing it this way is that it is completely under your control. You do not have to wait for LL to deal with your ticket and if later you remove your credit card information you still retain your status.

More points of failure is why I'm not a fan of it. The ticket was dealt with in no time at all, either way doesn't really matter, piof probably gives you access to more places but I just don't want to put my details on more accounts than is necessary.

And that is your choice, it is good to have choices. Can basic accounts submit a ticket for this? Basic accounts tend to expect not to get any support from LL on anything.
People who have had tickets ignored or delayed for long periods may feel more comfortable doing without submitting a ticket.

There are no more or less points of failure with either approach as I see it, so I am unclear what you are referring to.

First , you have to log on both avis at the same time.
Then you have to partner them.
Next you have to find a romantic hideaway and dance close for a time, staring into eachothers eyes and IMing eachothar all evening.
Finally you take your avi home and fire up those sexy poseballs you have hidden in that skybox.
Then and only then , can you concider your alts linked.
P.s. There may be other meathods I am unaware of... Good luck!

No, no you have it all wrong. You keep passing large amounts of L$ between your alts until the Risk API kicks in and you all get banned. Then your alts are truly linked

Can't you just "Unite Your Avatars"?

Hahahaha, sounds like a soccer team doesn't it? Avatars United. Probably one of those teams everyone gets on to start with and spends the rest of their time trying to get into the really good ones

Name your alt in your main av's profile and name your main in your alt's profile. Then that's proof you're connected!

I actually age-verified an alt before myself just in case any silliness came of it. That said, there was nothing else combining the accounts until then and some people still don't believe she's my alt. (^_^)

... It's a loooong story. (._.)

I didn't think about this, I honestly couldn't tell you, basics probably can't do this even if they are account verified. Choices are good, and I'm happy LL gave me a choice I was more comfortable with but it's not the only option.



We'll file it under widespread paranoia on my part and leave it at that
