Wow I almost forgot about this game, I just checked and it doesn't seem to work anymore. I also wrote a bot to play 50+ accounts for me, mainly to generate gold and sell them. I made about 2k USD via paypal, and my programming was so much better after that.

Nice. I had $5k worth of gold for when it was selling for $10/billion, but then the price crashed since I was slow and supply had gone up while I had stopped playing. Oh well.

Yeah most of my gold was sold @ $2/billion. Another way to make money was to help people train their accounts to level 50, this took like 20-30 minutes for 2 accounts, easy money.

If you're developing Facebook apps or using Facebook authentication, you pretty much have to have two or more Facebook accounts. The problem is that having more than one account is against Facebook's terms of service, and they don't provide a developer sandbox.

You can create test accounts through the API. I actually have a terminal script where I just write "fox" and it opens up a new Firefox profile with a new Facebook test user in it.

Care posting or giving a bit more insight?

You can open Firefox on Mac OS X with a certain profile with a command line like:

open -n /Applications/Firefox.app --args -P some_profile -no-remote http://localhost:9011/test_user

The URL is on my dev server, it creates a Facebook test user and then redirects to it. First you get an access token from graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token, then you use https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID/accounts/test-users to create an account using the token you just got.

I have a personal one I rarely use and one for logging in to just look at something behind the sign in linked from HN or reddit.

I might go there to message someone I fell out of contact with but I deactivate my account instead of logging out. So I have 2 but don't really use either of them.
