How to Merge Supercell Accounts: A Comprehensive Guide
Merging Supercell accounts isn’t as straightforward as you might hope. Supercell, the company behind popular games like Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, and Hay Day, doesn’t officially offer a direct account merging feature. However, there might be a workaround if both accounts contain different products/content and are associated with the same email address. If this is the case, you might be able to initiate a process by clicking on “Account Assistance” on the Sign In page and following the process to reset your password. You may then receive a prompt to merge accounts. Note that this process is not always guaranteed and depends on Supercell’s policies and support availability.
Understanding Supercell ID and Account Management
Before diving deeper, it’s crucial to understand the Supercell ID. This is a centralized account system that allows you to save your game progress and play across multiple devices. It’s linked to a specific email address. This makes it easy to switch between your village or account on different phones or tablets without losing any progress. Because each Supercell ID is tied to a unique email address, the lack of a true “merge” function becomes understandable from a data management and security perspective. However, the community has expressed concerns about this feature, and hopefully it will be implemented at some point in the future.
The Challenges of Merging
The absence of a merge function stems from several reasons:
- Data Integrity: Supercell needs to ensure that game data remains consistent and accurate. Merging accounts could potentially create conflicts and errors.
- Preventing Exploits: A merge feature could be exploited by players to gain unfair advantages, like transferring resources or progress from one account to another.
- Technical Complexity: Implementing a safe and reliable merge process is a complex technical undertaking, given the intricate nature of game data.
Therefore, while the desire to consolidate accounts is understandable, Supercell prioritizes the stability and fairness of its gaming environment.
Alternative Solutions and Workarounds
Since a direct merge is unavailable, consider these alternatives:
- Focus on a Primary Account: Choose the account you want to continue using and dedicate your time and resources to it. You can treat the other account as a secondary one, perhaps for experimentation or casual play.
- Start Fresh: If neither account holds significant progress, consider starting a new account. This allows you to learn from your past experiences and optimize your gameplay from the beginning.
Steps to Transfer a Supercell ID
It is not possible to transfer a Supercell ID between accounts.
Using One Device
- Go to your game’s Settings.
- Tap on ‘Sign in with Supercell ID’.
- Register using a secure email address.
- Type the verification code which is sent to the email address.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are answers to common questions about Supercell account management.
1. Can I link multiple Supercell accounts to one email?
No, you need to use a different email address for each account you set up with Supercell ID. This is fundamental to how Supercell identifies and manages individual accounts.
2. How can I transfer my Clash of Clans (COC) account to another email?
Go to help and support first, on settings. Then tell them the reason why you want to change the email ID. They will verify your account, then that will send you a link code. Just open a new base with Gmail ID & link that code.
3. How do I recover my Supercell account?
Search your email accounts for any messages mentioning Supercell ID. This will help you figure out with which email you created your Supercell ID. Then, once you know with which email you signed up, enter the in-game Settings, tap on “Disconnected” and log in.
4. Does Supercell delete inactive accounts?
Yes, Supercell reserves the right to terminate any account that has been inactive for 180 days. Therefore, it’s a good idea to log in periodically, even if you’re not actively playing, to prevent your account from being deleted.
5. How do I find my old Supercell email?
Search through your email accounts for any messages mentioning Supercell ID. This will help you find the email you attached to your Supercell ID.
6. How do I contact Clash of Clans if I lost my account?
If you can’t access the game or don’t have an email set up on your device, you can directly email them at [email protected] and support will help you as soon as possible.
7. How do I link my COC account to Game Center?
Locate the Game Center app on your device, log in (or create an account), and then launch Clash of Clans. Your progress will automatically link to your Game Center account.
8. Can we transfer gems from one account to another in COC?
No, you cannot transfer in-game content such as Gems, Items, and Heroes between Empires & Puzzles accounts. This would be unfair to other players.
9. Why am I not getting my Supercell ID login code?
Check your spam folder and double-check that you have no rules set in place that might make these emails end up in a folder. Searching your inbox with “Supercell ID” should find the emails with the verification code.
10. How do I contact Supercell directly?
Please send an email to [email protected] or contact us directly through in-game support by going to Settings > Help & Support and then tap “Contact Us” in the upper right-hand corner. In your message please state the name of the game the purchase was made in and add the receipt of the purchase.
11. Why is Supercell not sending me an email?
The email may have been sent to your spam folder or you may have given the wrong email address or mistyped your email address.
12. How do I restore my Clash of Clans to my new phone?
Simply fire up Clash of Clans on your new phone, tap settings, and log in to your Supercell ID. You’ll enter your email address, get a new six-digit code from Supercell, and enter that on your phone. Your village will be restored.
13. Can you recover Supercell without email?
You will need a valid email address to successfully recover your account.
14. How do you take over a dead clan in COC?
Only Co-leaders and Elders can be appointed as new Leaders. Leader status can never be rotated to a Member, regardless of their tenure or past positions in the Clan. If a rotation cannot occur, your best option is to create or join a different Clan.
15. Can Supercell detect account sharing?
Yes, if Supercell detects a shared account, the account will be suspended and potentially even permanently banned. Sharing your account might also result in its misuse, in the form of spent resources, or disruptive behavior, leading to account penalization.
Conclusion
While merging Supercell accounts directly isn’t possible, understanding the Supercell ID system and considering alternative solutions can help you manage your game accounts effectively. Remember to prioritize account security and avoid sharing accounts to prevent potential penalties. Also, it’s important to remember the educational aspects of games. Games Learning Society (GamesLearningSociety.org) advocates the positive impact that gaming can have. Learning and gaming can go hand in hand, and this combination can be incredibly beneficial to a person’s development.
