On My Horsez you are allowed to have a maximum of one account per person (per server). You are also not allowed to share your account with anyone else, pass it on (or sell it) to anyone else or let someone else log in to it. An account is strictly personal.

Why are you only allowed to have one account?
It is not allowed to have multiple accounts on the same server as this is a form of cheating.

Help, I already have an account and want to start over!
If you want to make a fresh start, but already have an account, you can submit a ticket when you are logged in by opening the menu at the top left and clicking on 'ServiceDesk'. Here you can request an account reset; the account will then be reset to the beginning of the game.

Help, I can't remember the name or password of my old account!
You can request your username and password if you have the email address. Click here to request the details.

Help, I tried to retrieve my details from an old account, but it still doesn't work!
