Tribal Wars 2 Gets Co-Op In The Form Of Account Sharing

Have you ever wished that someone could watch over your citizens in Tribal Wars 2 while you were away? Now they can. You can literally give another player access to all in-game aspect of your account—meaning your email, password, and payment details aren't shared—with the game's new "co-op" feature. This also allows two players to play on the same account simultaneously on two different devices, meaning you can actually play Tribal Wars 2 in a cooperative manner, as well.

Personally, I think this sounds incredibly risky. Even with people you do trust. Who could resist the lure of trading all of their friend's assets to their own village? The game has no mechanisms to stop such a transfer. Not even a simple email verification for trades that occur between users who have access was put in place. The only safeguard is that you have to be in the same tribe to be able to make use of this feature.

Nevertheless, the feature is there, and people who want to actually play together, cooperatively managing a single village can. At least they can't charge tons of purchases to your linked card.
