Trade issues!

What does "unable to process this trade" mean. I'm trying to trade a 40/60 for a 54/55 and the bar is in the green. What am I doing wrong?

The reason that your trade failed is because the system identified that both users are coming from common IP addresses, and because we've had issues with people cheating the system by creating multiple accounts there is a restriction on allowing that. I've chosen a more aggressive stance on this because that behavior causes one of the biggest issues to the integrity of the game, but the unfortunate side effect is that it is also blocking legitimate trades from people in the same household or business.

Don't use the same IP ;)


I love the fact this rule is in place though.

This ...

Internet Protocol
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing.



basically, it doesn't matter how many people log in from that mac/pc they will all share the same IP, so your brother needs to either get his own PC or use the one in the internet cafe.
