1. I think you get a main account when you reach level 11 or 12 or something XD
2. Main account is where the game is at, NG is more of a foothold/tutorial area sort of deal. If you end up getting an ascended account (which I support of course :P, more fun there), which is where you ascend your main account, then you should build it AT LEAST to become undescendable.

There's basically 3 games, NG - Main - Ascended, ascend in one to reach the next one, NG is more of a tutorial place. For a long time it used to be just Main-Ascended.
1) You have the option of ascending to Main at NG level 20, which puts your NG account into Vacation mode for a minimum of 1 week. When you get off vacation your NG account will then be level 25. The Main account you receive will be ascended 20x I believe. Remember, you don't automatically get this at NG level 20. You must hit ascend again after reaching 20 which costs no Higgs to do.

2)If you elect to start at Main straight out, you will have a 0x ascended account and you must work your way up. Ascending 20x will take longer than 6 months, so this will be the slower option.

Side Notes: If you play through NG and Main, then you will eventually have 2 Main accounts. This is the only legal way to have a multi. The slower method isn't necessarily the worst method. Starting from scratch will let you build the account exactly how you want from the ground up and gives you more ascentions to gain massive AP injections into your ascended account (if you are very active). In the end it is up to you how you want to proceed.

Thanks . I used to have a main account and I ascended to unknown so I know how powerful it is but I no longer have this account so I have to start from scratch . Any way so NG is a faster yet weaker than main .

Re: Regarding Ascension to Main

I wouldn't say NG is a weaker method, just quicker. A few months ago I would agree, but with the removal of AP caps there isn't as much of a benefit starting from scratch as before (This renders my last posts argument about massive AP infusions invalid). You can start @20x ascended from your NG main and just wait to ascend until you have a ridiculous amount of AP. The only benefit to starting a regular Main account is to obtain a legal multi. I would actually recommend starting a Main account at the same time that you start A NG account if you want to play NG.

No, and doing so would lose you both accounts.

Re: Regarding Ascension to Main

So I just started an NG account a couple of hours ago and have already hit level 5. I'm guessing the time frame is going to become longer and longer - can anyone give an overall time frame to get to 20 if well executed?

I think it's still only around a month or so. It was 6-8 months for us in the beginning.

Re: Regarding Ascension to Main

There are ways to make it very fast. Think efficiency when you ascend. There is a guide somewhere around here.

Re: Regarding Ascension to Main

I've managed 8 in two days which I guess isn't too bad. Could have had more though - I didn't realise you could ascend and not lose naq on hand. Serves me right for not reading but I wasted tonnes of money improving bank space for the first 3 ascensions. I reckon with 3 fresh market turns, acquiring about 36T naq will get me to at least 15.

Re: Regarding Ascension to Main

As I'm reading here, I have a question.
If I would have a NewGrounds account and I reach level 20(?) then I get an NG-Main account. ( That is correct, right? )
What happens then? If I ascend again (to higher levels) on NG will I be "forced" to get and use an Ascended account (something like a NG-Main-Ascended thing) ?
Like on Main's first ascension?

Re: Regarding Ascension to Main

If u ascend ur conquerer it goes to the stage before “unknown”

And yes u will be forced to play ascended
Even if you hear a bad story about me, Understand that there was a time I was good to those people to, But they won’t tell you that...

Like on Main's first ascension?
If you further ascend your account on the Newgrounds server (maximum level is 25 I believe), nothing further will happen as far as your *NGmain account is concerned.

As Harch says above though, should you choose to ascend that account in the main server, you will of course end up with an associated Ascended account too.
