3 Accounts Per Device

Hi Jack, thanks for unblocking my account just now; I’d like to explain my situation to you. Before 2026, I had three accounts because I used them to play in three different leagues. When you rolled out the 2026 update, I paid for VIP, and now I can play in three leagues from this account, which is my main one. I think it’s unfair to ban this account just because it was created on a device where two other accounts were also created, when I’m currently paying money to avoid doing exactly that—playing in more than one league.

Hey!

I wanted to add my point of view. I completely agree that creating 1000 accounts, 100 even 5 in a single day is unacceptable and should be dealt with. 3 accounts per device is reasonable in theory. However there are many cases were this might be too few. 

For example I was unaware of these players that have entire leagues filled with their own accounts... If they are just managing and roleplaying seasons etc, I don't see the foul play.

Or if a device has created more than 3 accounts over the years, if they are not actively using them to alter the market or tilt the game to their favour, I do not see why they should get their accounts restricted.

If a device has created many accounts over the years, they could be requested to give an explanation and give their word to use them in a fair way. I am sure that many of these multi-accounts do have an innocent origin ( to play with friends on other leagues, other projects etc.) For example I know some friends that created 15+ accounts just to run a 2 week long league last summer with lvl 1 accounts, so everyone had the same "specs", and only 2-3 persons created all accounts because it was easier to organise that way. That's just an example.

Thank you and If I can plead the case some more. We just restarted the league (3rd season now) because I had some personal issues. But I let me give you our old spreadsheet so you can see that this is not a farming league, it's not used to cheat or manipulate anything. It's just enjoying the competition. You can check league activity too. All teams are setup with strategies... 

But here is our old league history and rules and stuff. So please consider that lot of work was put into this.

I’ve seen that and thanks for pointing that out. Back in the day, for hosts it was the only way to activate promotion and to fill up a league in order to make it visible in league search screen. I haven’t used those accounts since then.

So unless you’re administrator of a super competitive league or a role game immersive league, again, I don’t see a reason to have 4 or more accounts. Unless farming young drivers or other foul play practices 

For example, I have 7 accounts, all competitive and constantly online. Choosing only 3 out of 7 available is a bit limited. In my opinion, the 3-account limit could be raised. Many long-time managers have 5 or more accounts.

Another crazy idea. There seems to be no rational plan behind the game's management. Or perhaps there is one, but there's a complete lack of ability to make long-term decisions.
After the last two years of the game, I can honestly say that this is my firm conclusion.
In any case, instead of blaming the person who creates 1,000 accounts, it would have been enough to require each account to be linked to a verified email address and limit each user to a maximum of three accounts.
I don't know if you've asked yourselves this question:
"How will already demotivated players react when they find their accounts unfairly blocked?
Especially during the summer, when people are already preparing for their holidays and are naturally less willing to spend time in front of a PC or smartphone, preferring outdoor activities instead?"
My prediction is simple: they'll just uninstall the game and move on to something else.

This is also true! Instead of limiting accounts, it would be enough to link each account to a REAL email address and only allow access to the game once the account has been verified via email.


This would make it impossible to create even 10 email addresses per day, register 10 IGP accounts, and simultaneously verify these 10 accounts via 10 different links.

Maybe add verified accounts could be a possibility? I mean if you are able to see which account gets used on a specific device it would make sense to keep track of them and connect the accounts to each other and see if there is at least one account above a certain level. If it’s the case you can allow more than 3 accounts.

But, just to know, in the game's approximately 10 years of existence, how many times has a manager created 1,000 accounts in one day?

 I ask because it seems like a problem that has occurred several times if you decided to implement such an extreme solution (limited accounts per device) that creates discontent among the majority of users.
Creating widespread discontent just because ONE Spaniard thought he was smarter than everyone else and instead ended up banned, seems a bit excessive to me.
"A ban doesn't eliminate bad behavior" okay, but punishing everyone because of one idiot could also be bad behavior.

Hello Jack! I wrote to support twice to solve   an issue caused by suspension...could you answer to me?

At least open account for the one running my league:) and even 1 team is too much.

Well, this could already be a solution. This way, those who already have more than 3 accounts can't create new ones, and at the same time, managers who have more than 3 active, competitive accounts (non-farming and with a developed HQ) can keep their accounts without feeling like they've wasted years improving them.
