What is what: All information here is strictly used by the game admin for administrative purposes (like cheat cheating, multiple account handling, organizing tournaments, etc) with the exception of Empire name.
Real name: We have a 1 game account per server speed policy, and our game admins constantly searches the game for players who do not abide by this rule and for fake accounts (some players simply signup rubbish/fake accounts). Generally admins will refer to your real-name to judge if its the same person playing 2-3 game accounts or a rubbish/fake account therefore accounts with non-real like names will risk deactivation. To change this, send a PM an admin.
Email address: For security and verification reasons game-admins will only entertain request if it originates from this game-account email address.
