account verification

[===Svarog===]

Why dont you guys release some kind of account verification via email address that we use to sign up into the game? There is obviously a lot of players in the game who use accounts from players who quit the game. Easy way to get rid of cheaters.

And how do you suggest getting rid of the cheaters that create multiple accounts so they can use multiple cities on a single world? Your 'suggestion' would not seem to work, since it is simple enough to create as many 1-time email accounts as a person would want, on a variety of different websites. It is against the TOS to have more than one account, but it happens relatively often - and even after reporting it, they are still around months later - so what would you say is Innos concern about cheaters, when they do not even enforce their own TOS?

Ah, but this isn't about multi accounts, is it? It's only about players "who use accounts from players who quit the game". Which is allowed, as long as the accounts are not sold or bought for "diamonds or any other benefit."

What about accounts that are being auctioned off on Account Auction sites! Some go for $5000 and more. Is that within the Foe TOS? That's not getting diamonds - that's getting the real thing - Cash.

Don't you think if those accounts found in those Auction Sites are a violation - wouldn't Inno just delete them outright before a sale could be made or immediately after as the act of a violation may have to actually occur 1st?

Just google: "forge of empires account for sale" and all kinds of sites will come up.
