Account Impersonation & Name Conflicts

What is impersonation?

Impersonation is when a player deliberately pretends to be someone else with the intent to mislead, scam, or cause harm.

This may include:

• Pretending to be a well-known player or creator

• Claiming to be a moderator or staff member

• Using similar names to deceive others

I didn’t get the name I wanted — is that impersonation?

Not necessarily.

Pixel Worlds uses a first-come, first-served system for names. This means:

• Anyone can register a name if it is available

• Players are not entitled to a specific name, even if they have used it before or on another platform

Having a similar or matching name does not automatically mean impersonation.

When is it considered impersonation?

We will only take action if there is clear intent to deceive or harm, such as:

• Claiming to be you or acting on your behalf

• Scamming or misleading other players using your identity

• Pretending to be staff or an official representative

What should I do if I’m concerned?

If you believe someone is impersonating you:

1. Gather evidence

   • Screenshots of chat/messages

   • Any proof of misleading behaviour

2. Report the player

   • Use the in-game report system

   • Or contact support: [link]

3. Avoid engaging

   • Do not escalate the situation publicly

What we won’t take action on

We do not take action for:

• Name similarities alone

• Someone owning a name you wanted

• Personal disputes without evidence of rule-breaking

Our approach

We aim to keep the game fair for everyone:

• Names are open and not reserved (outside of specific protected cases)

• Action is only taken where there is clear rule-breaking behaviour

If you’re unsure whether something qualifies as impersonation, feel free to reach out to support — we’re happy to take a look.
