According to an email from Mobage, the number of players being banned seemed high since they didn't do December bans from the Holiday. This same player who was emailed addressed the fact that he had accounts on different devices in which Mobage responded that after a quick lookup they could tell he had X accounts on that IP and that it wasn't an issue.
Although the email didn't give specifics they did mention that members of one particular order were found to be sharing devices but most were linked to massive amounts of feeders, in some cases over 1000 feeder accounts.
The issue apparently is not on multiple accounts and there is no set policy on multiple accounts. Instead the problem is when people use multiple accounts to EXPLOIT the game. For example, having 30 feeders to support ten mains is.
That being said, a player who has authenticated his accounts on his personally owned devices, probably won't be punished.
Decided to update people at the urging of an Order mate.
Phew, that's a relief. Now I can finally start an alt on my tablet. Thanks, Lucarda!
ReplyDeleteI know my friend who has over 20+ alt accounts from family friends phones (all properly registered) purchased 100 morbage coins on all his account at least once. He has the accounts for over a year now, so far so good. I guess if you throw Morbage some $$$, tends to work in your favor.
ReplyDeleteJust curious, is this the e-mail your order mate is referring to?

If so, I'm not yet convinced that it's authentic, since none of the header information that would confirm it's from Mobage is visible.
One of my order mates emailed. The reason Mobage responded to him was because he was asking about whether or not a specific guild that he had been in was being targeted and if he was at risk.
DeleteI believe it was a legitimate answer and email since he was going to quit the game entirely and opted to come back after getting the response. I find it kind of hard to believe that he would have changed his mind and created a fake email to validate his change of mind.
I have to agree with Ray here. As I posted on your other topic, I think the information seems credulous. I've personally e-mailed mobage in the past and they always give copy paste answers. C-games may sometimes give a straight answer but it's kind of weird that they would give a straight answer considering that they don't need to.
ReplyDelete+1 on Ray. Besides, what does it mean by EXPLOIT here? All I can see was still about having multiple accounts irregadless about having 30 feeders to support 10 mains. Or what it is implying is that, it's ok to have just 1 main and 39 feeders?
ReplyDeleteReally Drake?
DeleteYou know very well that it is not saying 1 main and 39 feeders is ok. I'm sure you also know it makes complete sense that they don't want to put a flat number on how many illegitimate accounts people are allowed to have.
You, and everybody else who reads here, knows damn well when it becomes exploiting. As soon as you get the feeling...this may be wrong...it probably is and you're exploiting.
Well, I got confused about the wording of the statements there. Though the real number is not revealed, I am sometimes wondering the exact situation. From what I read in the robforums.com, some people having only a couple of alts got banned as well. Yet, some players that I know actually got a lot more and they are not banned from what I can tell.
DeleteYou believe everything people post on forums? Come on, I highly doubt anyone has been banned that didn't deserve it for one reason or another.
DeleteLike I said, I am wondering. I know there are some nono rules that they must have broken, knowingly or unknowingly so. Hence, I have been asking this question to all the people I know. No harm in asking right?
DeleteI'm betting that they have a lot more accounts than they're saying and just playing the victims. I've played online games for a long time and the one thing I can count on is players who feel wronged after being caught cheating trying to turn people against the game developers. I would be comfortable saying that the number of accounts allowed would be equal to the number of devices you personally own.
DeleteBut, if you are really worried you can use the methods that I've listed before as extra layers of protection.
It's possible that some players are just collateral damage. They haven't really done anything wrong, but they're linked to players who have seriously exploited the game - either by trades or Bazaar deals.
DeleteQuote from email I received from Cygames. "You will not be banned just for having multiple accounts. As long as the accounts are not used for unauthorized activity and as long as they are registered to different devices, there should be no problems."
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've read and heard from people in different orders and forums the main group of bans were for people sharing accounts and using unregistered feeder accounts. As realistically people upgrade phone and get tablets so it is only logical that people can fairly get more than one account. It's easy enough to have more than one email address and as mobage don't send spam if you deselect the choice. Using a family members is even easier as it removes the need to create an email address. And let's all be honest if we had another device to setup another account to use as a feeder we all would do it. I expect a lot of accounts being banned were created on pc emulators. And if mobage did ban everyone who had more than one account there would be very few active players on any of their games.
ReplyDeletei feel its ok to have 2 registered accounts maybe 3. I have 2, lucky for me my lil brother gave me his because he didnt like the game. i plan on adding a 3rd once i decide to get a new phone but thats far from now stupid contracts(tmobile your getting dropped soon as i can you suck) but i can say my alt accounts arent nearly as active as main i just dont have time for them. im sure everyone has this problem not just me. but people who have multi accts exploiting the game should be ban cheating is cheating and it takes the fun out of the game for those who play by rules. but rules will all ways be broken its not cheating till you get caught its the nature of the beast or something like that lol
ReplyDeletejust to add to comment above players with over 10 accounts is excessive and border line exploiting or it just maybe exploiting what do you think? and how the freak do u have time for all those accounts? thats my last and final comment on this subject.
ReplyDeleteby the way Lucarda this site is awesome keep up the good work bro!!!. looking forward to more of your new current update post keep them coming
In my opinion anything over five is exploiting. The way I see it that's a two person household each with a phone and tablet with one extra phone/tablet laying around.
Deleteoff subject now im in a pickle with my atk deck. skills are still work in progress!
ReplyDeleteAtk: 75.1k
MHatter sk4 17.3k
SacWitch sk2 13.9k
Dknight sk4 17.1k
succubus sk1 11.5k
Nmare sk2 15.1k
i want to change out succubus problem is i cant decide what card to add. should i go for another big atk boost or big def buff all or realm or just go with trow elf or maybe a HW point boost?kinda leading toward def buff. my order is tellin me go big boost. i kinda want your thoughts lucarda. i do have 1 trow elf in present lucky draw i guess. but i have only 32hp currently..btw my def is 69k but thats not as important right now. though im hoping order in war does well enough to get sheild angel though not my realm big def boost would help out my wraith just need 2more to do 4-7 evol.
thanks to all who help get me out of this pickle
Replace both your Sac and succ with Trow Elves. Skill order should go NM, Hat, DK, Trow, Trow.
DeleteAnother one off topic. With the 3-tier cardsale coming back we have a choice in which realm we want to buy cards. What realm do you feel has the cards which bring the most profit?
ReplyDeleteYo.
ReplyDeletehttp://robforums.com/game-discussion/yep-feeders-are-against-the-rules/
Just from the fact he isn't banning it shows they approve of it. It's no different than driving 59 in a 55. You're not getting a ticket.
Deletewonder if im throw up red flags with my 2 accounts!? this is what i do..
ReplyDeletei send all skilled cards to feeder account to store through presents. once cards are ff evolved i send them back to main account using presents. I trade realm feeder cards to each other 5gods for 5demons all HN cards r traded to main doesnt matter realm. i also only trade HR for HR there may have been time or two i didnt. I never trade HR cards day of cp claim logins campain or day i use cp for cards and only max 2HR trade a day... but i do trade back and forth between using one device few time a day with feeder cards and send up to max presents allowed in 24hrs! since my brother gave me his account i only have my 1 phone to use for 2 accounts but they were registered on 2 diffent phones so idk..you think i have problem with what i do?
Well it doesnt matter if you have alot of acc now since they just keep putting up more barriers to try and stop our privilage of having so many acc like the new rules that states new event related card can only be traded after event is over and the cp they give out rarely gives a decent card mostly just rares that people feeds to the system i have like over 20 acc supporting 1 main and i have been playing for almost a year and i dont think i got a decent enought deck to call it since i just kkep receiving crappy cards
