I bought Coins via PaysafeCard, but they haven't arrived yet.
If the debit wasn't successful, the amount of money is generally credited back to your code; therefore the money should still be on your card.
Please go to www.paysafecard.com
There you can check your credit and verify your turnovers.
Should the amount have been debited from your card, please state your PaysafeCard transaction ID as well as the date of your payment.

I can't find a specific player using the player search and I can't contact them
All our game servers are entirely independent from each other. That is why it is unfortunately not possible to transfer an account from one server to another, or trade and communicate between different servers.
You can only trade with players, if they are registered on the same server. If you would like to play on the same server as your friends and/or family or switch for different reasons, they need to register on your server, or you need to register on their server, and start from the beginning. Settings from one server cannot be transferred to another server. If you just want to talk to your friends while you are on-line, you can always do so via the forum as well!

I forgot on which server my account is registered.
If you saved your registration mail, this is no problem at all. Aside from your login data, it also contains the server info.
If you didn't save the registration mail, you can use the "Password forgotten?" function on every server. Along with the new password, you will be sent your server and the login data via e-mail. You can also try to log in on every server using the trial-and-error method until you have found your game server. Unfortunately, there is no other option.
If all that fails, you can still contact support to see if they might be able to help.
Keep in mind that in some of our older games, game accounts may be deleted after 180 days of inactivity.

I have transferred money via bank transfer in order to receive Coins. When will I get them?
Unfortunately we have no way of influencing the time the credit institutes take to process a transaction. This may take up to 3-5 working days, even if the money has been booked directly from your account, even longer in case of international transactions (our company seat is, as you may know, in Germany).
We generally credit all transfers the day they arrive on our account. Maybe your transactions is among today's arrivals. Should you have to wait longer than 10 working days until the Coins have been credited to your account, please check your entries, and contact us again, if you are certain you have used the correct data.
In this case please let us know the "reason for transfer" you have given in your bank transaction form, your User ID, the account holder's name and time/date of transaction.

I linked my game account to the Portal, but now I can't log in anymore!
Once you have connected an account to the Portal, you will need to use your Portal account information to log into your individual games, if you opt to log into them from their launch pages. Of course, you can easily log in via the "My Games" tab.
Some of our older games will require you to click a little portal button to use your Portal information to log in.

I wanted to buy Coins/Diamonds/Dosh/Gold Bars/Cocoa Beans via debit (Webbilling), but I could not understand the voice on the phone.
If you didn't enter a PIN, your money wasn't debited. You can simply begin the payment process over.
I would like to delete my forum account.
Forum accounts are now directly tied into your Portal account; the two cannot be separated, and therefore, it's impossible to delete just your forum account.

The Forums are directly tied to the Portal; therefore, it isn't possible to delete just your forum account.
I would like to link an older game account to the Portal. How can I do that?
If you have a Portal account, any new game accounts you create will automatically be connected to the Portal. However, if you have an older account that isn't connected to the Portal yet, you can do that after the fact.
Just go to the "My Games" tab in the Portal.
You'll see a little "Link Existing Accounts" tab over the box with your games. Click on that.
Choose the game you would like to link an account from, and click on it. Enter your server and log-in information, and BAM, it's connected!
Please note: Sometimes difficulties arise if you have deleted Kapi Hospital/My Free Farm accounts and then try to link a new account. Contact support if this occurs!

I would like to transfer my account to another server.
You can of course register on another game server any time. Since our game servers are not connected, however, it is impossible to transfer accounts from one server to another. If you would like to play on another server, you need to register on that one separately.
You can close your current account or keep it, as you like. Coins, points and in-game money can unfortunately not be transferred.

I'm off-line for the next few days. Is there a vacation mode?
There is no vacation mode on GarbageGarage, but you can leave your junkyard untended for a few weeks without any problems.
You may have been challenged and completed arena-fights in the meantime (if you already have an arena), but you'll be sure to find your junkyard as you left it - completely unharmed!

Is the game good?
Yes, it's fantastic! We're sure you will enjoy it.
My account was reset to level 1! Where is my saved game?
Accounts do not get reset on their own. There are three reasons your account may appear reset:
- You deleted your account via the Game Settings/Profile (this is pretty rare)
- You are playing on the wrong server
- You accidentally changed the language
- Make sure that you're playing the game in the right language. Our games do not switch languages - each language is hosted on a different server, and if you change the language, you'll begin playing a completely new account. Some of the more bilingual among us might not even notice.
You can find the dropdown to change languages in the top right corner of the screen:
- A lot of our games have several game servers - make sure that you try all of them before you panic
My forum account has been banned.
If you have violated the forum rules on various occasions, you have probably been warned by one of our forum moderators already, and are now banned.
Should you not have received a warning from a moderator, you may have been blocked immediately because you have extremely violated the forum rules.
The reason and the length of your ban will be displayed when you log in.
Should neither of those things apply, please state your forum name as well as your email address in your support request; we will then examine your case.

My menu buttons are gone/the screen is cut off!
You probably just accidentally adjusted your browser's zoom - if you have a scroll wheel on your mouse it can happen rather easily.
To make it go back to default, click somewhere on the background of the game page - anywhere on the background/border should do - and hit the "Ctrl" and "0" keys on your keyboard at the same time.
Or if key combos aren't your thing, check your zoom in your browser's settings menu. Most modern browsers have something to click in the top right corner (a gear, three parallel bars, etc.) that will open the menu. There should be a zoom indicator with buttons to adjust it. Just make sure it's set to 100% and you should be good to go

The time display in the forum is incorrect after the switch of the daylight savings time.
Go to your "User Control Panel" in the forum and click on "Board preferences".
You can switch DST by ticking "Yes" or "No" respectively in the menu item "Summer Time/DST is in effect".

There are several players in our household, is there anything we need to look out for?
Please always mind the following rule:
In order to ensure that all our players have the same chances within the game, all trades between players using the same internet connection (at home, at work, etc.) are expressly forbidden. We cannot make any exceptions here.
Of course it is always possible, that friends, colleagues and family members using the same internet connection are registered on the same server. So we can differentiate these PC-user-communities from cheaters, it is unfortunately adamant that everyone sticks to this general rule.
If you do this, you can play on the same server without any problems. And let's face it, there really are plenty of other players that you can trade with as well.
Thanks a lot for your understanding and keep having fun playing!

Why am I on the black list?
Being on the black list just means that you can't receive e-mails from us anymore (with the exception of support e-mails). Usually, you wind up on there because you unsubscribed from our newsletters or other mails, but you can also end up on our blacklist by marking our e-mails as spam or not being able to receive e-mails (for instance, if your inbox is over capacity).
If you would like to be removed from our blacklist, all you need to do is explicitly ask us to do so (something like "Please remove my e-mail address (xxx@xxx.com) from the black list.")

Why can't I log into my account?
There are a couple of reasons why you might have trouble logging into your account. Here are several possible solutions for your problem:
If you are still unable to connect to the game, please contact us again, if possible, by giving us the exact error message you receive when trying to log in!
- Are you sure that you have chosen the right server? You need to choose the server you registered on, if you want to log into the game. If you are unsure which server you are registered on, please check your registration confirmation mail. Please also note that our game is available in several languages. So please make sure that really have selected the US-American version, or that you indeed are registered on the US-American version.
- If you are certain that you have chosen the correct URL and server, please verify that
you have entered your login name and password correctly. There should be no unnecessary spaces. These may have been added accidentally, if you have copy/pasted the password.
Also note that the password is case-sensitive. So please check that you haven't accidentally turned on your key lock. - In case forgot your password, please use the option "forgot password", and you'll automatically be sent a new one. Use that one, to connect to the game. You can later on change it in your in-game Profile. If you don't receive the email with your new password, please check your Spam-Folder.
- Please also note that your login name may differ from your user name (depending on the game you are registered on). Your user name is the name that is displayed within the game, in order to connect to the game, you need to use the login-name.
- We also run nightly backups some time between 2 and 5 am CET/CEST (Central European (Summer) Time). If you're experiencing issues at that time of day, it's likely they are just temporary. Try again a bit later!
