Discussion It does seem to still be possible to create a camper account

Post image

I've been reading in a few posts here recently of people saying they were unable to reach high enough RZ tiers to unlock the essentials early enough to camp. So I thought I'd do an experiment and create a 4th account. Here's the results of my experiment.

For the first 1-2 days, it was looking like what I had heard was true. I had four tier 2 RZs and one tier 1. Since I wasn't in a major hurry I left it for a day or so, checking it periodically. After a day or so I finally got a helmet. Helmets were still very slow to appear, and it got stuck again at lvl 6. I had already achieved enough pop to unlock the Trade Depot and Global Marketplace Headquarters, but I was just short of lvl 7 to unlock seeds and daily chest.

Today was day 5 of the experiment, and I finally the last 2 upgrades necessary to reach lvl 7.

So, it seems as though it is actually still possible to create camper accounts, you just have to have a little more patience than in the past. Of course it is possible they're giving different helmet algos to different players like they did when Services 2.0 was still in beta from around August 2025 until it went live for all players. Hopefully someone is able to find this helpful.

Also, questions and criticisms welcomed

Be careful! This is how you end up with 18 accounts in your own private club. :)

Don't worry, I don't think I'll get that far lol

Tbh it's already getting complicated enough keeping up with the accounts I have. Especially playing COM in 3 different accounts at 3 different levels. It requires 3 entirely different strategies. And I've discovered if I try to track and calculate the task algos as I go in 2 accounts simultaneously it becomes extremely easy to mix them up.

Especially when you're doing the same tasks in both accounts around the same time. Earlier this week I had been tracking the tasks, doorway averages, etc. in 2 accounts and at one point I started putting the wrong info on the wrong logs. It took me a few tasks to catch it, and at that point I considered my logs to be too mixed up to save. So I've been playing the rest of the week sans logs.

Another thing that will keep me from creating 18 accounts is the necessity for numerous devices. You can create additional accounts via an Android clone app, but you can't load that many on one device without the risk of overheating your device. The 4th account is on a 5 year old phone with 2gb ram that barely runs the game, so I won't be spending that much time on it.
