As Jonni said, and as I said many times, and others, in the past, we try to eliminate multi players.

We have automatic detection systems but these are never perfect.

we will make more efforts to remove such players.

In the mean time, please mail us specific cases.
(This happened MANY times in the past and we have always checked, and if true, removed the accounts)

I appreciate the added vigilance here. I do want to take the opportunity to point out here that there was an exploit situation not too long ago that nearly broke all illusions of fairness in this game. I won't mention the specifics, unless the GM is completely unaware (and should not be), other than it took a lot of time and multiple reports before the actual problem was fixed.

In addition, prompt action on the benefiting players was not forthcoming from the GM and only my game actions at considerable cost and resources removed the ongoing stain from the game. In the end, I didn't receive any acknowledgement, let alone a thank you. A thank you would be nice as well as a commitment to act swiftly on cheating players in the future. It is unlikely I will be up to repeating such a performance.

I am a multiple player, FREE MEMBER. Recently, I like this game. However, it was very boring AFTER I finished checking the country. Therefore, I play on all worlds because I have more fun to check on them. That is why I play multiple accounts. What about you? Your motivation?

If you are skilled enough, you can play on as many worlds as you want and have the game PAY YOU. If I got my empires in shape, I could withdraw almost every month. In my case, from December of 2015 to the end of 2016, W3C paid me $14 more than I paid them while retaining my premium account. Not bad eh?

We have found and removed some multi players in the past days.
This process will continue. we have some players reports that will be processed shortly.

We advise multi players to remove these counts themselves because the cleanup procedure may choose to remove the one account they really want to keep.

If anyone has any information about multi playing please mail us.
Also, if you see anything that is wrong and causes problems, cheating or misuse of an error, please let us know and we will correct it.

we are tightening up the software that helps us find "exceptional values" in game records and get more alerts.

I just discovered an old (small) error in share trading, using that procedure and it will be fixed ASAP.

Please mail the gamemaster@simcountry.com

Ewww! You gonna remove all my accounts, Andy? All countries have 15M people for each, and they do not cause any problem for SimCountry. I think so.

I appreciate the "exceptional values" focus. My experience in gaining game assets has allowed me perspective on what is possible and what is not, short of an exceptional purchase from the game. This allowed me to identify a problem quickly, the last time a major exploit was afoot.

I would suggest any account featuring assets on level without about half of mine, or larger, catch your attention for review. The last major exploit also featured players selling professional soldiers/officers and trading in space, particularly mobile units, and costs for below obtaining the assets from the GM would be (like selling mobile units for 2 or 3 coins). Also, world markets were similarly flooded with weapons and ammunition that seemed to have no apparent logical source. Monitoring these systems would certainly help anti-cheating efforts as well.

Thanks Aries
I hope it will help.
I recognize some and we see flooding the market with some products and we check.
we find legitimate sales out of country or enterprises stock. I will check again if it happens.

Nothing personal against you but free players are limited to one account with up to two countries.
you go around it and you have many countries.
Unfair to those who paid $ 12 for three months.

Maybe a huge amount, but you can't have multiple accounts.

so remove them yourself so you can choose the one you want to keep. otherwise, out procedure will remove at random and you may end up with none.

If any player in this game legitimately wants to sell their products for a price lower than any other player in the game how is that an exploit or a cheating?

That's like the top bosses of a Supermarket like Asda in the UK not liking the price that a competitor of theirs sells a product for if it is considerably less than the price that they sell it for. Something like this does happen in reality with the Supermarket food price wars in the UK between Asda, Tesco, Morrison's, and Sainsbury's etc. As well as them competing against each other for the price that some of them charge for their fuel etc at the petrol station. Customers WILL AND DO in reality always look for whoever sells a product at a competitive price and of comparable quality to what they already buy, so there's an age old saying - that's life - get over it.

you can sell your products for a lower price.
It is not considered cheating.

the market process will always give priority to those who sell at the lowest price.

We are disabling multi players.
We advise multi users to make their own choices.
