Account Migration?

As far as I know there isn't but does anyone know for sure if there is a way to move your account from Apple to Android?

If not then this is kinda lame. I began playing this game when my phone died on me and I'm currently using an iPhone that was given to me. However I've always prefered android and want to swap back.

I have spent money on this game but by no means a whale, it is mainly the time put in to the game which will annoy the hell out of me if it is not possible and would not start again from scratch. It's also one the reasons I haven't spent more.

Personally I think it should be a requirement for any games company that offer premium currency to allow account migrations between different OSs.

    This is actually a tricky problem for the devs, as they would have to have a way to tell that you are the account owner on this different device. It's easy going from an iOS device to another iOS device because they can track the login via gamecenter or for android to android through your google play login. However, there is no way to reconcile the true player identity across the two platforms unless they build their own (or pay for a third party solution) backend infrastructure to allow logging into their own servers.

    And no, I don't ever envisage Apple and Google working together to help this situation.

    I never thought of it like that but surely an email verification should suffice for proving it is actually you wanting to swap over.

    I also don't see apple and Google working together anytime soon but one can hope.... Lol.

    Guess I could just keep the iPhone for playing on or get an iPod to play on there when I get an android phone.
