About making new accounts...

[Ash123ketchum]

Hey there, I wanted to make new accounts. Let me clarify little things here and help me if it is problematic. 

I have one main account and one alternative account, i forgot email password and can't recover my alternate account so wanted to changed email but it's still pending, thus cannot use that for storage of pokemon etc because it's risky in future as 2FA will come. 

And thing is I have 2 accounts, and my neighbour friend also have 2 accounts, and i log in his accounts by his permission for quests or stuffs(like 1..2 times in a month)in same device, so total it got like 4 accounts, although those are not mine and i need one account for storage too, and for stuffs so can i make 2 new accounts? 

New discord announcement had me worried for a while, i already talked to MOD Lekmino, he said it was fine, but to post this in general support for extra safety, so here i am. 

Tell me more about it tho, if it's a problem and what should i avoid. 

I posted a PM with lekmino, and as you can see my PC is also full . 

Thanks in advance.

Hi there @Ash123ketchum. Thank you for the taking the time to make your post. 

 

You are indeed right when you mention that the two other accounts do not belong to you. They belong to your friend and consequently, do not count towards the 4 account limits imposed to each player. You are also entirely allowed to log in on his accounts, given that in your case he gave you permission to. 

 

As long as you have 2 accounts there should be no problem with your making 2 more accounts if you wish to. Your friend account's will not be counted in your own limit. 

Let me know if anything is unclear.

Ohh thank you for clearing that up,

i do still have confusion about how people get ban by mass accounts, login many accounts? Or by making many accounts?

No problem. To put it in a simple way those bans are applied when the rule is broken and someone has too much accounts. They aren't just given out randomly, as investigations is always part of the process before applying a punishment.

 

I'm afraid that this is a much as I can personally share. It is not my domain of expertise and I cannot share any sensitive information. 

Although, feel free to let me know if anything is still unclear.

Umm OK one more thing, if i have an account but forgot password or i don't use it anymore(let's say i don't use it) so it'll still count or is there a way to delete those account. And if i forgot password and cannot recover, can i make new and forgotten one will not count?

Yep, those accounts count towards your limit even if you lost access to it. You can make a post in the General Complaint Area to have those accounts banned.

@Midsommar Hi I had a question.

 

So we can apply to ban our unused/obsolete accounts in General complaint area.. and then we can start another in its place?

 

Please let me know if I understood correctly

No worries. Don't hesitate to make a new thread if you have any other concern.

It would be preferable to make a post directly in the General Complaint Area if you are in a situation where you'd like to have an account removed. I'm afraid that I don't know the exact specific regarding unused accounts and if you are allowed to create another in its place, that's something you should confirm with a Game master.
