You saw people together with the same name? Like the multitude of people named 'alex' or 'jason'?
It violates the TOS but is currently, officially, not enforced.
Why does it matter to you anyways?
Some people just like to ruin other peoples days for no reason at all..Quote:

But seriously, so many people have multiple accounts (me) so ye.
No, same name appended with a number at the end of it. concurrent leveling to indicate split usages. similar styles and layouts. I am willing to bet the whole clan is one person.Quote:

Violators ruin the game. Lets see if you say this when he uses an auto-bot to target, test, then attack you taking all your available loot.Quote:

You are a bit overzealous with the judgement.
He has multiple accounts, like most of the community... but you compare it to robbing a bank? And now he is also going to be definitely using bots and the like according to you? Calm down.
Actually I could care less about someone taking my loot it's just a game buddy.Quote:

Great education tool for the rest of us seeing how to three star bases at our own level.
More of an issue is multiple players playing the same account 24/7 so to maximise their 'online shield' or certain other fluffy bunnies to get various advantages.
To compare multiple accounts to bank robbery is hilarious.Quote:

The TOS does explicitly says you cannot have more than one account at ANY GIVEN TIME. That wording has not been removed and has been in the TOS for as long as I've been playing (18 months)Quote:

having multiple accounts does not imply that they are using anything that could be considered an exploit. You can legitimately play one 1 or 100 accounts. Likewise, you can use an exploit on just one account. These two aspects are not mutually inclusive.
would you be impressed to know that i have removed every single tag in my life that told me not to?Quote:

If it's not gray, but rather written in black and white, then it is in the TOS. It clearly says you cannot have more than 1 account at any given time. What is gray about that? You admit that is isn't gray, as the statement is clear that means ANY time. Same device, 100 device, or if your second device is in a different zip code or ON THE MOON. Any. Given. Time.Quote:

Must be white then since I can't see itQuote:

The main reference to multi now is
With the help of legal mumbo jumbo, support one account could mean that they don't provide customer service to multis or that they don't support it but they don't endorse it either.Quote:
The Service supports only one Account per game on a supported device.
Plus with the phrase "Any given time" gone, it makes bans against multis less clear because if it's so bad, why did they remove that clear phrase? (maybe to shorten the long thing but the reason is not... uhh... clear :p)
Oh ok, then you wouldn't mind putting your storages outside then seeing as you don't care.Quote:

Thats all you had to say. Instead of dragging this on. The TOS has been updated and the restriction of multiple accounts have been removed.
Fantastic! Now i can openly admit that i do have a second account as well. Ive never been opposed to multiple accounts just being a voice of reason to what is or isn't allowed per TOS language. Now, with it removed, there's no more issues.
Will be be interesting since now that it's completely removed, they are no obligated to offer full support for every account, whether its one per device or 100 per device. Interesting indeed
bans were never really an issue, but whether they were obligated to offer full support for multiple accounts. The quote you entered does clear that though. Multiple on one device will still not receive supportQuote:

Outdated information? It's been outdated for four days. I didn't even know they updated the TOS.Quote:

I did, sorta. It wasn't clear because I didn't remember how recent it was (I have no concept of time with stuff relating to the internet and when I learned things) and I didn't want to go search it initially. I only dragged it on with 1 post and hoped that someone else would post the link. And yes, I wanted to start and argumentQuote:

Thankfully they kept the same link so I didn't have to change my sig
Also, I found out last night, after giving old link info, they don't issue ticket numbers anymore and apparently imbed a link in the "you have been banned" pop up.
While im glad they made changes, I can never understand why they don't just say so instead of keeping it secret. They put up forums so users can help each other but then change the system without saying anything. So my new plan.... Figure it out yourself. Post fifty threads asking the same thing... I give up...
they may or may not enforce the rules. You're comparing this to a bank robbery? Well how does this affect you or anyone else in a negative way?Quote:

no one caresQuote:

If you want to report someone for tos violations please do so through your game settings.
Why do so many of you insist on being so rude to other members? I feel a few infractions are needed as a reminder. Thread closed.
