Yes loads of people start again by creating a new account @christinewupp but how many of them have read the T&Cs do you think. The ongoing lawsuit started after last years All Stars shows how important it is to read them and not reading them can't be used as an excuse later on.
I guess Colleen12's recent reset to level 1 is the 'correct' thing to do and that might explain why there is a Help Centre article on how to get your game reset.
Ya, it is very odd. Never seen this before. Generally only if you use two accounts at the same time.
It is what I have done. I am not going to bother getting my account reset, I have never even seen a "one account per platform" restriction before. Basically if you have to request a reset → new email for new account.
Unless it has something to do with merging accounts I cannot fathom the rational. Anyway I would not worry for your existing accounts. If you want to do allstars you might need to use a different platform.
I am sure there is a real reason and it is some way of cheating in the past but it does seem really odd without context.
Reading about IP addresses what if the person/people have VIP addresses on their devices. I use a VIP on my computer and you can set it for any country that you like, I do not see how King could trace the device then, as they would not be able to find it, (or are VIP consider illegal for the game). I don't worry about all stars as I am not eligible living in Australia. I could change my VIP to the States, I wonder if King could find out? I don't think that I could score high enough to make it worthwhile.
(or are VIP consider illegal for the game).
Well @T0rr1e using a VPN isn't illegal as you aren't breaking any law, but using a VPN is against the T&Cs of the game.
5.5 You agree that you will not:
disguise, anonymise or hide your IP address or the source of any Content that you may upload;
I wonder if King could find out?
Yes they can identify if you are using a VPN, but they can't determine anything else about you.
Think of the TOS as a catchall. They are covering everything possible regardless if it makes sense in the context of normal play. It just allows them to deal with situations of exploits where the wording for an exploit might not catch a very similar one that don't quite meet the traditional level of hacking and such.
Basically make almost everything against the rules to cover your butt but don't enforce it unless it is needed.
I just have never understood really why to have more than one account? Everything I wish to try does not need this. You can go back and play old levels and see what has changed. You can play as a new player and just not make an account and check out the game for comparison. As far as time changing, this is bad. I use 3 computers, computers like to update. A lot of things update. What do you think all the time changing does? What does this do to your syncing between your devices?
Multiple users connected to the same router doesn't mean they are the same person. Your whole family members could have just one account each. So, IP address cannot prove that you have multiple accounts.
If all your family members/friends login using one particular account (same location or otherwise) and play at the same time, that may be breaking the rule of "share your King Account or login information with anyone".
It is exceptionally common to have a main account and an alt account for games. One is for playing seriously on, one if for mucking around.
Finally, disagreeing with my view of the world… you must work for King!!! :P
