Status: What is yours and what does it mean?

 What is Account Status?

Account status is a distinction that the game program makes to determine whether you are entitled to certain things.

There are 3 statuses in the game: Main, Alt, and Multi.

Whether your account is considered one or another depends on several factors.

Main, as the name suggests, is the main account.

If you were the only person in your house who played Pet City in its old version, or you were the only person who played on your computer, or you were the first person to open the game out of those who would end up playing on the same computer, your account was considered Main.

Note that I speak in the past tense. That's because it's not very clear to me what happens now if you open the game without having ever played and without anyone having played Pet City 2 on the same computer.

I do know that if you open the game on a mobile without linking it to your Facebook account, that account will be considered Alt. but they will offer to buy the starter pack and it is very possible that by doing so it will become Main. But I have no way of finding out, so I will limit myself to explaining what I know for sure.

If you opened your account on the same computer as another person in your house, or you opened a second account to help you collect gc, but you never bought anything paying with real money, banners for example, your account was considered Alt. or Alternative.

But if you bought something with that account before the change from PC1 to PC2, your account became Main and its status is maintained.

If more than 3 accounts were opened on your same computer, the first one will be Main and the others became Multi.

I believe that if something was bought before the change, paying with real money, with each and every one of those accounts, they all became Main and maintain their status.

What does that mean?

Since Pet City 2 started, only Main accounts receive some things, like the bag of 2 gc and the bag of peanuts that we get every day when we log in from a certain time of day, depending on the country you live in, the Bingo game, or finding things in neighbors' houses on special dates. The rest of the accounts don't receive any of this.

Can I change?

It depends. If of the different accounts on your PC, whether they are all yours or someone in your family, there is one that plays the most and the others hardly ever log in or are just there for support, you can request that they change the status of the one that is used the most to the one that, being Main, hardly ever plays, but I don't know to what extent they pay attention to the request.

I also know of people who have shown that they are different individual entities and not several accounts of the same person and in some cases they have been granted the change but in others they have not.

Why?

As in many things, the just have ended up paying for the sinners.

There are players who opened accounts in droves. There was someone who boasted of having more than 100.

In Pet City 1 everyone received whatever came out to help the players, gifts at the neighbors' houses, the initial lottery, etc. I know someone who ended the round of pets with a real fortune in gc. EVERY DAY.

At some point before the move from 1 to 2, in an attempt to avoid these abuses, the internal system of the game began to differentiate the accounts in those 3 groups and decided that only the main accounts would receive all the help. But they could not (or did not want to) demote the multi-accounts converted to Main for having bought banners from them, although they did demote those who had not been able or wanted to do so.

How can I know what my status is?

In the game settings, in the first option you will see this screen where this information is.
