Advanced Mann-Conomy: How to idle with multiple accounts - Games

I need to make a copy of my Steam folder for idlin' with my alt account, right?

These types of methods still work, right? Hearing a few reports that textmode idling no longer yields drops. That, and only the first client to connect on a single IP will obtain drops. Latter sounds like horseshit.

[QUOTE=Doomish;30819077]Got a response from Support. [img]http://i55.tinypic.com/n6okyw.png[/img] I think Steam Support Tech Thomas might be mentally retarded. YOU CANNOT BUY PREMIUM ON AN ACCOUNT THAT YOU CANNOT PUT FUNDS INTO AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A PREMIUM PURCHASE FOR ANOTHER ACCOUNT, YOU DUMB, ANNOYING AUTOMATIC RESPONSE.[/QUOTE] Oh dear lord. They're turning into Jagex. :ohdear:

When making the accounts, it doesn't matter if you use the same registration email address for them, right?

So wait, someone explain this to me: Is it possible to add funds on an alternate Steam account? [QUOTE=Supacasey;30845192]When making the accounts, it doesn't matter if you use the same registration email address for them, right?[/QUOTE] Nope, using the same email works just as well.

I can have 2 instances of Steam open but only one of the can be connected to friends or the item server. Can anyone help me?

Gonna make nine new F2P accounts, buy two summer keys on each to make them premium idlers, then give my main the 18 summer keys to open my 18 coolers and continue to let the nine alts idle on my laptop. Got this shit on lockdown :c00lbert:

So, if only one client is (reportedly) getting drops, that still means you can do up to 14 every week, just manually :smithicide:

[QUOTE=Alfie;30845939]Uhmmm, you can't trade keys. I think they become tradeable on the 11th but that's when they expire.[/QUOTE] If that's the case then I'll just give the coolers to the alts to open.

[QUOTE=Supacasey;30853295]If that's the case then I'll just give the coolers to the alts to open.[/QUOTE] So has this worked for you? I can't have 2 Steam accounts connected to friends/item server. My main always disconnects after I start the Sandboxxie steam.

Indeed it has, made three test accounts last night and each has found three items so far.

[QUOTE=Supacasey;30854066]Indeed it has, made three test accounts last night and each has found three items so far.[/QUOTE] I wonder why it's not working for me... Windows 7 64-bit?

Yep, and sandboxie full version.

[QUOTE=Alfie;30854296]I wonder why it's not working for me... Windows 7 64-bit?[/QUOTE] The only explanation I can think of is that you accidentally log into the same account twice and kick yourself.

[QUOTE=Gurkenpirat;30858126]The only explanation I can think of is that you accidentally log into the same account twice and kick yourself.[/QUOTE] Oh that may be the problem. I click save password/remember me so it automatically logs into alfierulz (main account) and then click changer user to go to alfee94 (alt account). I'll try being logged off on both then logging on.

[del]So, if I am to understand correctly, these are the essential files needed in the steamapps folder? [thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31693224/Essentials.PNG[/thumb] Maybe not the tf2 folder?[/del] [h2]This method has been made redundant, please follow the more efficient method in the OP[/h2]

[QUOTE=Alfie;30867690]The team fortress 2 folder should be in username/steamapps/?[/QUOTE] Alright that folder isn't really needed since it generates it anyway.

Today I forget my l forgot my alt accounts username and password, just when I wanted to start idling again. fff

[QUOTE=AlfieSR;30873160]If that's your birthyear then I find it incredibly amusing that we share not only the same name, but the same age.[/QUOTE]Maybe you're secretly the same person.

Is there a way to give money to a different steam account via your wallet?

[QUOTE=Gurkenpirat;30872019]No full access granted.[/QUOTE] oh, that was obvious, sorry about that eheh i was able to run 2 instances of tf2 with the same installation folder, there is any problem on doing that?
