  1. Firstly, love! your avatar, I guess it’s time for me to hunt up a Halloween theme. Also think it’s time to put out some Halloween/Fall decorations now that temperatures have dipped below 94. 🙂

    I have only one account now, my Club account dating back to 2003. For awhile I had a free account but when we had to switch our info to EA I had them close it to avoid any confusion.

  2. Play with one account. Used to have others just to try different names see how it went
    But nearly 15 years club pogo
    Created screenname at a vulnerable time in my life and the one I have has a proper meaning
    I will not chat in Pogo for a while
    The league I was in for 3,5 years is closed. Lost interest in Pogo
    Hoping enthusiasm comes back once DCR HD and Bowl HD is released
    As for now I am done
    Have a good weekend 🙂
    Listy

  3. i have 2..mostly so i can double browse. sometimes i think about giving up the second account. so far, it’s still there.
    i looked under pogis for the last constellation and the count is way off. any known issues with this especially since they added the extra awards? i qualified for those and double checked the amounts. the count is about half of what it was before the constellation ended

    • i contacted pogo help today about the discrepancy in pogis from the last constellation. they were frustrating to say the least.
      is anyone having issues with being eligible for awards from pogis earned beyond gold level?

  4. I have just one account.
    I have occasionally opened a new free account and sent it a guest pass so I could play against myself
    (as it were) for Jungle Gin badges where the goal was winning 500 point games – so much faster, easier, and fun than playing the bots for that.

  5. At one time I had 5 accounts. I lost my son in 99, had 2 girls in the towers in 2001, and lost my husband of 43 years. I presently have 2, my main account and one I used to double browse with. I am going to drop that nic at the end of the month. It is full of badges and albums, that I don’t work on anymore and I don’t double browse anymore either. Most of my help in achieving my badges has been thru the help and diligence of Lura, her helpers and contributors in Badgehungry.

    • Spent the morning listening to the annual “reading of the names” with tears, reflection, gratitude, remembrance, and sorrow. The air here is thick with souls as it is every year. Have offered my prayers for your girls and for your other great losses.
      Not a day goes by that it doesn’t pop in my mind.

      • May our nation Never Forget what happened on 9/11. My prayers go out to all the victims’ families.

    • My prayers go out to you for all your losses. Today is a very sad day as it seems like it was only yesterday that I watched the towers go down. Hugs to you!

    • BryanJul.. You’ve endured a tremendous amount of loss. My heart goes out to you and all the other families. Stay well and keep on getting those badges!!

      Cher

      P.S. I only have one account. It’s enough for me!

  6. I have only one account. I can’t afford to have more that that, and sometimes I catch myself wondering if I can still afford the one I have. LOL

    Hope everyone enjoys a wonderful weekend, however my heart goes out to all those remembering the victims of 9/11/01, and all who are affected by the wildfires burning out west.
    My heart also goes out to all those who’ve lost loved ones to COVID-19 who might have survived, under different circumstances.

  8. I have one other account (a free one) so if necessary I can play with myself. Oh wait, that doesn’t sound good. Try, to play AGAINST myself. Whew, glad no one noticed.

  9. I have been a club member for 10 years and have 4 accounts.

    Back in the day we had the Mall & I used the new 3 non club accounts to gift other newbies. As I had been gifted when I started.

    My Club acct. was where I played & gifted friends. I so miss those days.

    I feel Pogo has changed too much & not for the better.

    Too many friends have left.

  10. I have two accounts. The second was my daughters who LOVED Pogo and spent COUNTLESS hours bowling and making new friends. (how they ever bowled and chatted is beyond my comprehension.) When she passed away 5 years ago, I couldn’t bring myself to delete her beloved account. Sometimes it’s a struggle to keep up both.

  11. I have 1 acct but I also play in my wife’s acct . Plus I also help my mom and brother that also have accts .
    I was the first to join over 20 yrs ago through my AOL Acct . Then when I joined it was $ 19.99 a yr .
    But back then it was a lot more fun with more things to win back then.. Not Just Badges . Plus they had Jackpots to spin for $$$$ plus gifts were always given away daily & weekly .
    Then my brother joined . Then my wife joined .. Mom joined after she retired .

  12. I have one account since I join Pogo 2002 and over 8,000 badges …. have a great weekend
    and fall is coming soon

  13. I only have 1 account now. I used to double browse, but not anymore. My condolence to anyone who lost loved ones at the towers and after.

  14. I have one account (been a club member since 2001) but at that time I didn’t play that often. Since my life has changed I play much more.

    My prayers and thoughts go out to everyone who lost a loved one on this very sad day.

  15. I originally created a second club account for double browsing but realized I was playing much too much and so played out the time left and didn’t renew. I don’t regret it for a moment. Then when Pogo started throwing so many badges at us I was doubly glad I only had one. Of course I justified buying badges because I saved money getting rid of the second account. My final break up with what had become a Pogo “job” I only buy and play what I want and like. Pogo has become fun and relaxing again. I also went over 13,000 badges and will get my 18 yr award this month.. .

  16. Every year when the 9/11 comes, I get a heavy heart and a lump in my throat as I think about the lives lost and family’s losses as well as the brave workers that went into the buildings and tried to save others and now have lost their lives because of the cancer and the air they were breathing. What a great loss for the USA. I say a prayer for all.

  17. Originally I created new names to get tokens on so I could buy stuff for my minis.
    Then I started creating different names for different occasions.
    I have a total of 43 pogo names.
    13 are my favorite names.
    15 are my second group of favorites.
    9 are names I don’t use.
    6 are names I keep but would like get rid of.
    Now since pogo changed I can only use 3 of my names. .

  18. My thoughts and prayers to all those who lost friends or family on 9-11

    I used to have 2 Club accounts.
    Can’t remember why I created and paid for a second account in the first place but I used to keep it up to date with weekly badges, dailies and few MnM I got from time to time. I would also get all the free mini items of course and some gem items too lol and kept the mini “in fashion”
    Then I became a little less addict to Pogo and stopped doing most of the badges but kept the acc. because I kinda was fond of my “other Club persona” and it made me feel bad to stop paying for “her” membership lol (plus it was useful for double browsing to help with badges)
    But we all know what happened…….. new Pogo… too many changes… most for the worse… and I couldn’t find a good reason to keep paying for one account I hardly used anymore and after 8 or 9 years I let it revert to a free account, this was fair recently by the way, beginning of 2020.

    I also had quite a few free accounts but I don’t remember the passwords for most of them anymore and they were probably “deleted” from the servers long ago. Then some I got to swith them over to the new EA login/registration but now I can’t even remember the associated emails so guess they are lost.

    All in all, now I only have one Club account and believe me, that’s more than enough!

  20. I have only 1 account, can’t afford another (LOL). Yesterday I achieved 14,000 badges. Best to everyone, stay safe!

  21. I have one account now. I had one in my son’s name so I could play games between the two accounts, but when EA took over I decided to close my son’s account when it came up for renewal. I have been a member since 2008. In that time I have accumulated just over 6,000 badges, a lot of those have been accumulated with the help of Laura and her answers, the help from other members of the Badge Hungry Community, and being determined that I am going to get my badge count higher. Safe weekend one and all.

  22. If anyone is interested here are the values for the past 3 Pogis Constellations:

    Pogis Constellation 1 Rewards March 12, 2020 through May 10, 2020
    Constellation 1 total: 168 power ups valued at 880 gems
    Bronze Rewards: 48 power ups at 276 gems
    Silver Rewards: 48 power ups at 288 gems
    Gold Rewards: 72 power ups at 316 gems

    Pogis Constellation 2 Rewards May 11, 2020 through July 09, 2020
    Constellation 2 total: 165 power ups valued at 872 gems
    Bronze Rewards: 48 power ups valued at 256 gems
    Silver Rewards: 48 power ups valued at 268 gems
    Gold Rewards: 69 power ups valued at 348 gems

    Pogis Constellation 3 Rewards July 10, 2020 through September 07, 2020
    Constellation 3 total: 186 power ups valued at 896 gems plus 150 gems – totals 1,046 gems
    Bronze Rewards: 49 power ups valued at 245 gems plus 50 gems – totals 295 gems
    Silver Rewards: 73 power ups valued at 314 gems plus 50 gems – totals 364 gems
    Gold Rewards: 64 power ups valued at 337 gems plus 50 gems – totals 387 gems

    For the past 6 months the overall total Pogis value for 3 constellations is:
    522 power up and gem rewards valued at 2,798 gems plus 9 completion badges

    These numbers may not be exact but they are appropriate approximate values.

    Julia

    • Julia,
      Thanks for taking the time to keep track of all that and to post it.
      The grand total of gems 2,798 is approximately the same as the largest package of gems when they are on a celebration sale – 2,820. That would cost us $119.99.

  24. I now have 2 Club Pogo accounts. My husband of 50 years passed last year and I can’t bring myself to let his account revert to a free account. IHe LOVED Pogo. He was a member from 2001. I used to play on his account sometimes when he wasn’t using it. I also had a free account. When I retired 9 years ago, I converted my free account to a Club Pogo account. We used to play some games together (bowling, cribbage, and yahtzee to name a few). Good times.

  25. Hello all,

    Just wanted to report that I secured my Rank 30 “Big Spender” badge in Monopoly The World Edition.

    The game will go away “soon” as it is among the last of the Flash games still active.

    Most likely that is the last badge that I will earn in that game, which is a shame because I rather enjoy it.

    Cheers!
