Bluestacks or similar

Hope the admins see this;

I wonder if I can install Bluestacks for other games? Know it is against the rules to use it with mcoc, but is it possible to have it on my phone without getting banned?

Please respond, would like to play a couple of my games on my computer instead :)

    An emulator, think it basically allows you to play the game on a PC. Don’t use it to play mcoc, you’ll get a permanent ban on your account.

    Don't know, but sucks to be banned if they have some kind of script that runs with an update, and that see Bluestacks installed and automatically bans me.. would never use it for this game, been playing for years now, would suck to start all over :tongue:

    This has come up before...bluestacks is not allowed. A simple search of the forums provides the thread below with a reply from a mod/admin.

    Is there any programs or ways to play MCoC on your computer that won't get u banned? I have absolutely no intentions on cheating, modding or hacking anything as I consider my time and money a considerable investment here. But it would be nice to have other options to play the game while my phone is charging & without dumping a few hundred dollars on a tablet.

    The only approved method of playing on PC is with an authentic Chromebook and approved Apps.

    To the OP, it is skeptical. Based on feedback posted, there have been reports of the software being detected and leading to action. I have no official confirmation, so it's word-of-mouth. Best option is to play it safe and not install anything that could be used to modify the game.

    If you're using Bluestacks for OTHER Games or Apps, we will not take action, but using Bluestacks to play MCOC is strictly against the Terms of Service.

    Thanks for clarifying that.

    They don't. Did you read the admin's reply?

    I don't think that they would mind if you're not modifying their game. I was uncertain whether it would be detected and suspected. As I said, I've only heard reports of software being the issue, and I take those with a grain of salt. Investigation is very thorough. It's allowed, as long as it isn't being used for MCOC.

    Thank you! Would never waste years and dollars invested, and risk losing my account. But then I can play my racing games on PC, thanks again.

    No emulators. Period.

    Why not get a cable to output to your monitor or tv instead? Big TV screen, no risk.

    Apple lightning to HDMI or MHL to HDMI for Android are relatively cheap. The also come in handy for watching videos from your device on your TV (not all pass, but most that just mirror with out DMR).

    But you cannot really play mcoc on bluestacks (unless you are very very fast with a mouse). So I am going to assume someone used it to automate bots.

    And connecting the phone to a tv... not sure this is possible without some delay. Does anyone know. I tried using chromecast, but the delay is too much.
