3rd Party Apps

Kabam I was wondering about 3rd party sites. I have 2 accounts on MCOC and I only have one device to play them on. The other day I found an application called BlueStacks. What this application does is installs the google store on my computer and allows me to download MCOC legitly through the google store. The application does not alter the way the game plays in any form or fashion. But because it's a way of obtaining the google store on my computer does it still count as using a 3rd party app or website resulting in an account ban. If so please respond to me so I can stop using it for my second account.

    Bluestacks is against TOS because it can be used to modify the game files. While you may not use it this way, it is not allowed and can lead to a ban. The only legitimate way to play on a PC is with an authentic Chromebook through Apps downloaded via Google Play Store. Not all Chromebooks are capable of this.

    I will stop immediately because I have no intention of breaking the TOS and it was stupid of me to think thee bluestacks would be legal.

    It is OK to play multiple accounts (that you, and only you, created and play as) on the same (Android/Apple) device. Just have different Kabam ID's and link each of your game accounts to a different Kabam ID.

    Within game, you can login to the particular game account you want to play at that time.
    And then login as a different account when you want to switch.

    However, as stated, it is against ToS to use Blue, or otherwise manipulate the environment/controls/etc to run on a PC.

    Unaware? There's a thing called ToS that Kabam expects you read. Before you do anything, do some research to see if what you are about to do is going to get you banned. If you were that worried, how about (at minimum) ask on here BEFORE you install it?

    have you read the TOS? Do you read the 20 paragraphs of text you need to read before starting a google account or an apple account? NO ONE READS THIS ****!!

    Kabam will tell you to read it (i fully understand its long )... i also added that you could ask here BEFORE you install it too if that's too much.

    @UmbertoDelRio @age_of_andycap I think the smartest thing the OP could have done would have been to inquire about using BS before actually using it. I can say with 100% certainty that I’ve never read the actual TOS in my many years of playing the game, but I know what it comprises of and what’s a big no no through reading forum posts and moderator replies

    Hey guys, as many of you are already aware, using third-party software which can alter the game files in any way is a violation of our Terms of Service and can result in action being taken against your account. If you're currently using software like this, I recommend stopping now.

    If you're ever unsure whether or not something may be against our Terms of Service, you can review them at the link below.
