Why do I keep getting free pets
I hardly ever use this one account but everytime I do and happen to visit Cash Shop I get a new pet. I bought my old main a non perma Jr. Balrog in 2008 which I stopped using when perma pets first came out in 2009 (i think) and got myself a perm Yeti. I stopped using the said account since Big Bang until 2 or so months ago when I needed an Owl and checked to see if the account had left over NX. To my surprise, a pop up showed saying I got a Balrog pet. 2 things came to mind. 1 - Someone mistakenly gifted it to me. But the things was, it didn't have a from "insert IGN here". 2 - it's from those random gifts Nexon gives when an account becomes inactive but if it did, I don't remember chosing one of the 3 options. And if I did chose and forgot I did, I wouldn't get a Balrog because it already has it. I took it out of shop and it says it expires in December. It was weird but I dismissed it and never logged on the account again until a few minutes ago and I got a perma Yeti. Again, no clue as to who it's from.
[b]TLDR:[/b] My inactive account's been getting free pets for no reason. I have a dead Balrog + a perma Yeti on the account and I've been getting what seems to me are copies of the original pets I bought. I got a Balrog which expires in December and a perma Yeti for no reason o.o I'm starting to get suspicious about all these free pets so can anyone please shed some light on this? o.o

[quote=iGotPlayed]1. I bought a perma Yeti in 2009. I got a perma Yeti gift today. Sorry if my English is incomprehensible.
2. I'm pretty sure those don't give out perma pets though. Plus, I claimed the Balrog in July or August (not sure) and it says it's expiring in December. Now I have 2 non perma Balrogs and 2 perma Yetis.[/quote]
Don't apologize for his misreading. I fully understood what you had to say, and i doubt you'll be banned for it.
[quote=Harri]1. Didn't you just say that you bought a perm yeti?
2. Nexon gives these items if you don't log in for around 30 days. Usually it offers: AP Reset, Various 30/90 Day Pets, VIP Hair coupon, or VIP Face coupon[/quote]

It has happened to a bunch of my mules as well I'm going to assume it was a mistake/marketing tool by Nexon because a few patches ago they removed selected pets from cash shop and some players were affected by this and lost their pets as well.
One of my mules received a robo monkey/cat and the other received a husky which I had bought in the past.
I wouldn't be too worried about it though Nexon might be all about the money but they're not going to hound you down for receiving a free pet worth less than $5.
You can log a ticket if you're really that scared about it but I'm sure they will auto-close it or just tell you not to worry about it because it would be more trouble than its worth to take back the pets that they mistakenly gave people.
same, my inactive account has been getting random GM prizes for 'coming back'.
the choices they give me always have things that make you stay to play (2x exp, 2x drop, pets). So i've been just picking up face coupons >.>
[quote=Nigrows]its the same with my mule on basil shown <-. i keep getting free haircuts/pets.
Its because nexon knows you dont play often, they're trying to give u free,nx gifts so you will be addicted and buy nx. i assume ur main already buys nx and plays often, so nexon gives no gifts[/quote]
I'm pretty sure the one you're talking about don't give perma pets and the items you get from it says from "GM". The pets I get don't have it.
[quote=Pokemon231]Your lucky I don't get anything.[/quote]
I don't wanna be this "lucky". I'm paranoid that this is a glitch and Nexon would think I'm duping somehow. It's my oldest account and I don't wanna lose it over pets that I don't even need
Your lucky I don't get anything.
