Account Rules
Playing a Single Account From Multiple Locations
LEGAL
Someone plays Evony from several different locations on the same account and is the only person with access to the account.
Example: Dwight is an uber power player and he doesn't want to take any time away from his alliance named "Beats Bears and Battlestar" so he plays from his work computer, on his laptop while on the subway, and on his home computer. This is fine.
Account Sitting
LEGAL
Someone will be unable to play the game for some amount of time, and so they delegate a single person to watch their account while they are unavailable. During this time, they do not log in to their account (because they can't, which is why they need a sitter). You must let a representative know you will need an account sitter. Users should be very careful with who they give their information to. If that person steals or vandalizes your account, they may be punished, but you may not have everything that was lost restored.
Account security is your responsibility!Example: Jim is going on vacation, so he asks Pam to account sit and messages a representative about it. Jim then takes his vacation and Pam farms resources and helps with a few battles while he is gone. Jim returns and Pam no longer logs in to his account. This is fine.
Example 2: While Jim is on vacation, Pam gets mad because Jim is dating Karen, so Pam does something mean to his account. This is Jim's responsibility and he may not get everything that he lost back.
Account Sharing
ILLEGAL
Multiple players all have each other's login information so that they can help each other defend, reinforce, farm and attack when the account holder is not online.
Example: Andy, Angela, Ryan and Kelly all have each other's login information. When Kelly is attacked at night, Ryan logs in to her account to defend, and then logs in to Angela's account as well to reinforce Kelly. This is not allowed.
Multi-Accounting
ILLEGAL
One player using multiple accounts on the same server for any reason.
Example: Michael wants an advantage so he starts a second account on his server, named MichaelScarnFBI, to help supplement his resource gathering. He plays both accounts. This is not allowed.
