Hello.

We make everything possible to avoid security breaches from the server side. But the security of your account also depends on you a lot.

As in the majority of the cases, the accounts are hacked when a player shares the login data with someone else, doesn't update his password regularly or use not strong enough password.

According to our Security Policy:

Please note that the security of your social network account and Plarium.com account is the sole responsibility of you as the account holder, and Plarium claims no responsibility or liability from any losses or damages incurred as a result of compromised login information or third-party security lapses.

I also recommend checking the additional information regarding this question here: https://plariumsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002370369-Security-Policy




I find it odd that there are so few options to protect our accounts when you consider how much money some chose to spend on the game.  That's straying a bit off topic though and has already been discussed to death in the multitude of threads mods locked back when account hijackings were the biggest topic on the forum.

Back on topic, the primary issue I see with account selling is that its technically against the rules, but its not enforced.  The multitude of unenforced rules create a very "anything goes" environment when people are violating ToS with seemingly no consequences and those who lose troops due to those violations (purchased hammer accounts smashing beacons being a prime example) having no recourse.  I know its not the easiest thing to enforce, but merely saying its against the rules and doing nothing makes the rules kind of worthless...more of an excuse to deny players recourse than to ensure any standard of fair play.

From our end, we protect our servers and make everything possible to avoid hacking.

From your end, you can enable two-factor authentication for your email address and it will add a significant Bonus to your account protection.

When we receive reports about the violation of our Policy, we check the reported accounts and take the corresponding measures. 

Wait is there a way to add 2 factor authentication for our plarium account?  If so how do we do this?  Or do you just mean for our email address?

I meant the email address. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no way to add two-factor authentication to plarium.com site. 

But this suggestion has been forwarded to devs already.
Havent Plarium been promothing this mobile application? You could add a feature to it to allow for a optional 2 step authenticator. Wouldn't take that much effort to make happen. A lot of other online games out there offer such. 
What mobile application for you mean? Stormfall: Rise of Balur game?

Ah alright.  It would be nice to see as an option at some point.  I recommend google authenticator, I've been on a bunch of sites that use it and it's really convenient.

Game HQ is a mobile application for Forums. Even if we have two-factor authentication added to it in the future, it will be for Forums only, not for the game.

At this point in the game who cares?  Eventually said person holding all those alt castles will quit and the alts will be inactive.


Also those who live in glass houses should not throw stones - if you have an alt you should not complain about others - it doesn't matter if its one or ten

 I guess it come down to how much time people have to do stuff with. I think alts is just another level of stupid in regard of game mechanics. Rather than the one with the most money can buy himself power, the one with the most time can get it by having a ton of alts.

I still maintain that the House of Unity was the biggest culprit in the creation of alts - people wanted the extra resource bonuses so they could build a bigger army (before they changed the negative food issue)


I don't see how having an alt directly enhances a main castle since you cannot continually feed your main castle resources (there are limits to how many times and how much you can send per week).  You can trick the game however to send extra resources to a castle you have already sent to but who could be bothered to do that when its just as easy to send a raid out for resources?  Even if you used alts to defend your main castle (which many do) it will just get hammered with fireballs and you will lose all your alt defense - seems kinda pointless


If someone takes the time to make an alt work for their league then all the power to them they are actually playing a castle for the benefit of the league


I do agree that selling/buying accounts is crossing the line though

You could make an alt for the purpose of just pump out as much trash units as possible, so you can make your own controlled form for pvp points for any tournament that give points for killed units as well. No risk of upset other players. And if you need more points, have 10 alts to send trash to one particular place for you to wipe them out etc... just bad...

Nope, logging to the Forum via Game HQ won't allow you to login to the game via your mobile device.
