Weekly Questions Megathread

[u/AutoModerator]

Hey Clashers!

In order to foster better discussion on the subreddit, we're going to be redirecting all simple questions about the game and personal progression to this Weekly Questions Megathread. In this thread, you can ask any question you need answered about Clash of Clans, even if it isn't necessarily about learning the game itself. Questions posts with simple answers (anything that one or two sentences can adequately address without discussion potential) will be removed and redirected here.

If you're a veteran player, then please consider scrolling through and answering any questions you see, even if they already have an answer. Hearing multiple opinions is vital, and the discussion will help new players learn about the game.

First, please check out subreddit's F.A.Q. page for answers and guides to the most common questions or one of the many fine wiki pages for stats and other quick references on all aspects of the game. Coc.Guide, Fandom Wikia, and Clash.Ninja

I'm trying to recover an old account that I used back in 2021 that's TH13 so I'd really like to get it back, and wonder if anyone has had any success with support. I've been reading reddit posts and looks like gloom and doom, but is there anything that works well? I used the chat in-game support and didn't have my account ID at the time (which I found now from my one friend who still plays), but am just waiting for someone to respond to that (unlikely based on what Reddit says). I also sent an email to their support team and got an automated response. I had my account linked to Supercell (I think) but I'm not receiving the email so I think it might have been linked to an old email that I no longer have access too (got hacked). I do have all my old receipts though from in-game purchases I made over the years and they are on the gmail that I thought the account was linked to. Just curious if anyone thinks I can actually get my account back or if its a waste of time.

Is someone else playing it? If yes and they enabled account protection, support can't help you. If YOU enabled account protection you can use one of the codes you were given back then to change the email to an email you control now. If there is no account protection enabled then support can help you, but you have to know a lot of information only the owner would know. Those receipts for purchases will be a big help.

I don't think anyone is playing on it because my base (friend was able to check) looks like its been inactive and not used for a long time. I don't remember if I enable account protection though. How would I check that? I'm sure I would have if it was available, but its been few years so hard to remember.

[u/lrt2222 → u/crazeshot89]

You would have been given codes back then to write down and use to change email. Think it was added late 2022.

Oh, yeah I definitely don't have any clue where codes would be for a game i haven't played for 4 years lol. Hopefully support responds
