Using Multiple Accounts

Hey guys. I am getting a android soon and i want to do several things:

I want to link it to my old phone so i can check my village on both phones. After a week or two i would like to format the old phone and use a completely new email and google account to create a new village.

Does it go against any rules/against the terms of service? Sorry for the long text, im new to the forums.

Nope. You can play as many accounts as you wish. Clear app data and switch accounts whenever you want.

The terms of service says that you cant have more thsn 1account on a device. Thats why i am wondering. It also looks like you are going against that rule

You will not get banned for having 2 accounts it's not a official but they won't find out

Here is the relevant section, taken from the ToS:

Quote:

The Service supports only one Account per game on a supported device.

Same quote, with the important part highlighted:

Quote:

The Service supports only one Account per game on a supported device.

Not supported, not, not authorized. If something happens to your second (or third, fourth, fifth...) account, they are not liable, nor are they required to provide support.

You may have more than one but, if something goes wrong, to bad.

Sounds like the OP wants one account on multiple devices, not the other way around... Then a fresh install of a new, single acc on the first device.

I'm not that tech savvy to know how to do that, but I'm sure it's possible and within the ToS

Thats exactly what i want to do, i also think it wont be against the ToS, but I just wanted to make sure. I also have another question related to re-linking my village but idk if i should make a new thread about it

One account on multiple devices only really works if the devices are all android or all iOs.

You can switch between Google Play and Apple Game Centre, but not easily or particularly quickly (and not sure how many times it can be done), whereas opening it on a second device of the same OS is just a case of opening it :)

Multiple accounts on one device is also possible, and while not supported, is NOT against the TOS, and in practioce works well (at least on Android, I have no experience of iOs).

Actually you can run multiple accounts on iOS and android this is what I have done for the past year. Same 4 accts on 3 different devices (iOS and Android).

No, you can have the same account on two different OS.

I've been doing this the whole time.

I have 2 devices (both android), and 3 accounts. One device is switching between my main and 3rd account, while the other device is switching on all my accounts.

Cheers. :)

So how do you easily switch between the Operating systems in one account?

Surely what you do while it is linked to Google will not be saved in your Gamecentre account and vice versa?

I know you can make a switch from one OS to the other, but I was under the impression that you needed go through a few steps to obtain and then use a code each time.

I don't intend getting an iOS device in the near future, but this could be useful to know if I do.
