---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please make sure to BIND YOUR ACCOUNT. If you are on iOS, please BIND YOUR ACCOUNT. If you are on Android, please BIND YOUR ACCOUNT. Binding your account means your account is recoverable. Chelsea compiled these instructions originally but there have been some additions. Please review the instructions depending on your platform type
Apple/iOS:
As of April 2014, Underworld Empire has integrated Game Center for all character transfers and retrievals. When you go to "Character Transfer" you will likely see the Game Center login screen if you're not already logged in. We switched our character binding system to Game Center because it is a lot simpler than the email system. If you are logged currently logged into Game Center with your Game Center ID then you are good to go. There is no danger of misspelling your email address or losing the email with verification code.
How do I sync my account to Game Center?
Step 1: Make sure you are logged into the game center App by going to your device's Settings, tapping Game Center and log into your Game Center ID.
Step 2: Simply start Underworld Empire. Any time you start up the game your account will automatically be synced to Game Center.
Step 3: You are done. Every time you log into Underworld Empire, you will be greeted by Game Center with a "Welcome, "your Game Center ID"
When you log into a Game Center Account and access Underworld Empire, the account you are currently on will be bound to that Game Center ID automatically. Read more on this here: http://underworldempireforums.com/sh...-Reminder-2015

Some FAQ for iOS:
How long after retrieving my account until I can purchase Favor Points?
There is a 48 hour wait period from the time of account retrieval until players are able to purchase favor points. This has been implemented in order to increase account security.
How long after retrieving my account until I can transfer my account again?
There is a 2 hour wait period from the time of account retrieval until players are able to transfer their account again. This has been implemented in order to prevent exploiting.

You can have a maximum of 5 characters bound to a Game Center Account.
What happens if you want to bind a 6th Character?
You will get a popup that allows you to remove one of your previously bound characters from the binding. If you choose the popup, your current character will remain unbound [unplayable].
