In my opinion doesn't make any difference. Really, I'd say the only benefit is that with a registered email you can unlock accounts should they be locked instead of banned. In my experience if you're creating the accounts correctly you shouldn't have to worry about locks at all though.
Mootopia Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Like @AsBakedAsCake said, There isn't a difference between the two, only that you can unlock if you have a registered email. 1
Mojo Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 In my experience, they insta lock if the geoIP usage is drastically different than the creation ip. Say account was created from a China proxy and now you're using it in US, vice versa. IPs changing that far apart anytime would lock the account, like the others said above it just helps to unlock if you have the email connected. (I normally just do that for my mules)

I have managed to create accounts and put them through tutorial island on the same IP and still have the accounts locked. I don't quite believe in the "flagged IP" theory as Jagex don't manage to chain ban my accounts properly but it makes me have the impression that Data-center vs Residential IP's have a thing to do with it too. I've experimented with this quite a bit personally. You'll notice locks like this if your proxies were already used for account creation recently. For example: Even if you create on your home IP - after about 3-4 accounts you'll start catching locks. After you unlock a few, they'll start auto-banning you until you switch up proxies. I don't believe IP flags exist though (besides account creation.) Currently running 15-20 on my home IP 24/7 and when I catch bans it's usually only 3-4/20 accounts.

I have a main that I actually care about and I refuse to have any sort of interaction between my botting/scripting and main. That means no IP links, no trade links no nothing. My main to this day has been safe I wish I stayed at that mentality. I got cocky and botted mining overnight. Got my 10+ year old account permed 1
Only Nature Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 I believe it's 50/50, does not matter if you have an email set or not
