Hi and Welcome to the King Community

In most of the events of this game you will find random friends who are not on your friends list but everyone is a player of this game. Since contestants selection is completely random, you cannot remove or skip them because the random process cannot be manually modified.

All players in the game are real players. All players do not play daily or are inactive for some periods, therefore they do not generate any points in team activities for example.

Some players haven't saved their game via Facebook or by creating a King account, these players appear in the game as 'Player' and with a random character from any of the King games.
