Crowbrother Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 So when i bought my ps vita 3 weeks ago i had this promote asking me to either sign in with an existing account or open a new one - i declined both options so it gave me a "dummy account" - i can browser PS store but cant play multiplayer . Now, it also gave me "parental controls" app (though i heard u get it anyway) since i entered a date of birth - required also for a dummy account- that is under 18 and i have been wondering what happens once i open a new real account on the system . Will it let me open an account that is over 18 ? And also , will trophy information saved on the system transfer to the new account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 If you set your age under 18, you will always get a limited account. And... if you create a new account, no trophies will transfer to that account. Trophies are connected to the account. Trophies on PS3 are just showing best local progress from all accounts.

What do u mean "always get a limited account" ? You mean ill the system will only let me open only a sub account???! Even if i turn 18 by then????! Cause when i want -let's say- buy something from PSN it asks me to sign in or sign up. Ehat i have is a dummy account right now, does it mean once i "upgrade" to a real account ill loose my trophies??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 You won't lose any trophies, you will just have a separate account with different trophies. So if you earn a trophy on the dummy account, it will not appear on your account "Crowbrother". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i lose it all? Sony is a bunch of ass***** , i mean SUB accounts dont become reguler account so there goes that option . Basically , they're selling a console that is only for adults... bought a vita and now i have nothing to do with it until i am supposedly 18. Mha... Why lord ?! Whhhy!!!!

By the way why didn't you use the account you have now? (And 50 hours... in P4G, you should be happy to have a chance to replay that brilliant game ) Edited November 25, 2014 by Satoshi Ookami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incendio_M Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Why would you make a sub account? Just make a real account and set your age to above 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make a real account and set your age to above 18 I may be under 18 right now , and i might have 9 months left until i turn 18 so.... (not gonna fake DOB) back to reading books i guess ... Freaking sony with their stupid account policy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor CC-135 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sony aren't actually that stupid? It was you who didn't load up your real account so tbh it's your fault that you've made this mistake :/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulzyc Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 whats happened with your main account crowbrother ? you didnt earn any trophies since a while lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antithesis Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Use your existing PSN account if you want to earn trophies on that account. You can only play Vita games on the PSN account that purchased the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have not yet linked the VITA to a PSN account, simply sign in to the PSN using the Existing Account option. The trophies earned to date should then synchronise from your VITA to the PSN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trophies earned to date should then synchronise from your VITA to the PSN. This is what I was thinking, coz it sounds more like he set up a dummy system account, rather than a dummy PSN account. PSN accounts require details such as email and name, etc. Logging into a PSN account will just sync what's on there to the PSN account. This kind of thing happened when I first got my PS3, coz I wasn't connected to the internet originally, so I couldn't create an account.

That's exactly what i was thinking , but according to one of SONY's people (i called their customer service) the trophy will not transfer from the VITA to the Account once i sign in/up. Im still not so sure though.... maybe she didnt understand me..... she did sound like she does not understand a lot about PSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor CC-135 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 1. Load your main account into vita 2. If trophies transfer, Hooray! 3. If they don't, accept your mistake and move on - sorry bro this is the only way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollers23 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Trophies won't transfer between accounts. It's impossible and it's your fault that you created new account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoko Kuroki Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 How is it sony's fault. You were asked like on every console if you want to use an existing account, and you said no. Doesn't make any sense why you would think the trophies would transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
