Ok, reading the game rules above _ reference alt or multiple accounts.. i have a few comments. Daedalus, you should be aware of my issue as I have contacted you via in game system.
The game puts new players in random areas, unless you are invited to an island by a friend/alliance before you ever log into the game/create your account.
The problem I faced was I was new to the game and entered without knowing anyone. I then built relationships with my alliance, which was pretty far away - 12 hours. My city was toppled and the game put me even further away from my alliance - 30 hours! (even when I selected the option to be near my alliance!).
That was not going to work for a restart. So I recreated a second account and had my alliance invite me onto an island. That's how the restart system should work -it should allow your existing alliance to invite you onto an alliance the same way they could if you were never in the game.
The game rules above do not state anything about premium accounts that are closed by the player or how a second account is treated should you choose to start over - I am sure I am not the first person to do this. For example, what happens to the gold on a premium account should you choose to restart? Refunds for unused gold, transfer of premium features to new premium account, etc?
Anyhow, is there anything that I should do with my original account that I no longer use?
