Did you know that you can play GoW on multiple devices **at the same time**?  
Even better, it is **NOT an exploit**! Our friends at infinite-interactive are fine with it!

* * *

So what do you need:

1. 2 or more devices of any kinds (tablet, phone, computer).
2. Ensure your devices are link to your account. see guide: [How to play GoW on multiple devices](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/how-to-play-gow-on-multiple-devices/537)
3. A familiar team.

* * *

How to:

- Invade with your first device and play as usual. ONLY invades/defend can be played simultaneously!
- Invade with your second device and play as usual. Use the same team for all invades.  
First Device:  
 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/1X/0df1e1b71fe8e3dc0ed1889075bad5e83184c438.PNG)  
Second Device:

- Try to play while the it’s the AI turn on the other device.
- Do NOT end both games simultaneously!  
Once the first invasion ends, start a new one before you finish the second one,  
otherwise the second win will not get any encounter gold, just bonus gold!  
This is the first win:

This is the second win… Which was won too soon!

- You will get all rewards for both invades (exp, gold, trophies, souls, …).
- Rinse and repeat!

Hey devs team, wasn’t there a fix to disable this?

@Sirrian @Nimhain?

Does (still) seem rather unfair…

Haha, so this is how you went to level 1000 first! 😄

Tried it.  
… Gave me a headache.

I’m not worthy! 😫

@ctu1208: It was easier in pre 1.07… Now with the speed increase, it’s almost not worth it!  
@MarvelKit: Yes, sometime late a night, I would open both tablets and computer and play 3 at the same time! during the weekeends, I would let my kids play GoW on the tablets while I was playing it on my Iphone.

However, I never kept this a secret. I posted it, back in the days and my guild (match masters) knew I was doing it.

Sorry, didn’t intend it to sound like an accusation of cheating - point taken you’ve always been open about it… But it still feels… Unfair…

I have and do play like this often. I’m only level 255 and played since launch. Just showing you it doesn’t necessarily translate into advanced levels. I mainly do it to power back to rank 1 on Mondays.

Does this still work? I have been unable to play on 2 devices at once. It is always telling me to contact support. I have tried on an Apple and Android device. Always says servers are not in sync no matter what I do.

AFAIK it was disabled in 2.0 (probably because of the PvP ladder?)
