It has been mentioned in yesterday's AMA that the new Account Management/Login system is targeted to be released on the 6th November, I would greatly appreciate if you can clarify a few things that have been causing many of us on the DomiNations Asia version app using the TOY login system with no access to DomiNations World to worry about:
1. Is this targeted release date of the new system applicable to players on both the Asia and International versions of DomiNations app? If yes, does it mean that the TOY login system will be discontinued at the same time as the new system is released?
2. The instructions provided in this announcement for us that are on the Asia version of the app without access to DomiNations World doesn't seem to be relevant to us that are currently using the TOY system as we have never needed to use or link our accounts to Google Play or Apple ID to access them. Can you please clarify and provide the procedures in detail that we need to take to link our accounts to the new system that are specific to those of us on DomiNations Asia?

1. TOY login system will be discontinued at a later date (likely in december). Until then you will still have access to that login system but you will need to start migrating everything and ensure that your accounts are on a 'Primary Account' when the update goes live.

2. To start linking you'll need to wait until the update is live and follow these steps:

– If you have multiple accounts and have NEVER used DomiNations World –

After the update, log in and create a ‘Primary Account.’ Then, close the game completely. To add additional accounts, switch your Google Play or Apple ID log-in before reopening DomiNations. When prompted, log in using the same email and password as your ‘Primary Account.’ To confirm this was done correctly, you can head to the settings menu and open ‘Manage Account.’ Here you should find a list of accounts that have logged in with this new method. The one from your first login, and the one you’re on now (or any additional accounts if you’ve repeated this step.)

^^ These steps should be fairly similar to how you currently log into DomiNations with multiple TOY Accounts. But when the new update goes live each one will populate in the 'Primary Account' you'll be creating on your first login.

We tried to get something set up where TOY Login users could make early preparations, but due to some restrictions we weren't able to do so. I hope this helps, rest assured though TOY Login users will still be able to play after this update. But we will need help in spreading the word of it discontinuing, and asking players to be diligent in migrating all their accounts when the new management system is live.

Does this mean we have to somehow link our accounts to Google Play or Apple ID? Or is this referring to the standard procedure of switching accounts in which those on the Asia version do it the TOY way?

Right you'll use the current TOY way to setup the new login system when it goes live (currently scheduled for nov 6). Once everything is put into the new account management you will use that login going forward and will no longer need to use TOY.

I had hoped that things would clear up a bit over time, but unfortunately I still have a lot of questions.
Could we perhaps get some kind of preview of what to expect from November 6?
What does “primary account” mean? Is it created automatically or does it require interaction? Does this mean a dominationsworld account, or do our cities get a primary flag? Is it possible to change a primary account as a secondary account to another account at a later date?

What will the login look like then?
Will it be possible to have several dominationsworld accounts and switch between them, or will this be even more complicated than the previous Google account switch?
Will it be possible to play 2 accounts linked to the same dominationsworld on different devices (smartphone and tablet) or will we get the “too many devices” error message?

I've got 6 games linked to dominations world but just one login. After logging in l get a menu of those games. Is this what you mean?
I've had up to 3 different games open on pc - and I've had 3 different games open on pc, pad & phone. As long as they're different accounts you don't get an error msg.
Right now I'm playing one on pc & one on my phone.

The question is rather whether this will remain the case with the new “primary accounts”, or whether something will change?

Let's say I have 20 domination accounts spread across 20 Google accounts.
myNobody1, myNobody2, ... myNobody20
can I then create multiple dominationsworld accounts
e.g. myDomiworld1 = myNobody1 to myNobody10
myDomiworld2 = myNobody11 to myNobody20

Apart from the fact that I might need therapy for gaming addiction, will it be possible to split this up and still play all accounts on the same device?

And if I don't choose dominationsworld immediately, will all accounts automatically become primary accounts?
Could I then merge 2 primary accounts into one dominationsworld later (e.g. next summer)?

I think the answer is 'yes' ...

... you need therapy. 😁

The op said changes "in-game" so I imagine nothing changes on a pc but hopefully we have an easier way to change accounts from the game screen like we did before.

Me preocupa mucho esta actualización. Es innecesaria, compleja de entender y molesta. Prefiero seguir con el sistema habitual de iniciar sesión en Google Play.

You can have your 20 bases under a single DomiNations World account, and select which base you want to play. That's available now on DomiNations World, and will be available in the mobile app this coming week.
