Buying an account versus restarting yourself

Restarting yourself

Costs nothing but time, and the account is unambiguously yours from the first second. No terms of service question, no trust required, no chance of anyone recovering it later.

The cost is the tail. Common targets take an evening. Rare ones take weeks, and there is a real chance of being on the unlucky end of that distribution and having nothing to show for a fortnight.

Buying

You skip the tail entirely and start playing tonight. The bigger difference is the one restarting cannot give you at all: the accounts we sell come from real players who never spent their hourglasses. A fresh restart hands you an account with almost nothing in it, however good the opening pulls are. One of ours hands you thousands of hourglasses and lets you keep opening.

What you give up: the account was somebody else’s first, so you are trusting both them and us, and the game’s terms do not allow an account to change hands — the same as almost every other game with accounts.

That last point is not a footnote. If it is ever noticed, the account can be suspended. Anyone who tells you the question does not exist is selling harder than we are. What we can tell you is what is in the account: what a player earned and did not spend, checked by us — nothing generated, nothing exploited, no tools and no tampering.

What reduces the risk

Change the password and the linked email in the first five minutes. That single step removes almost all of the practical risk, because it is what stops the previous holder recovering it.

Buy somewhere that replaces a dead account rather than arguing about it. We give seven days; much of this trade gives twenty-four hours, which is not long enough to find out.

The honest recommendation

If your target is common, restart. It is free, it is quick, and you will enjoy the game more for having earned it.

If your target is deep in the tail and you would rather spend an evening playing than restarting, buy. That is a reasonable trade and you do not need to justify it to anyone.
