Multiple Characters(or channel) in one account
-
In many RPG games, a single account can have multiple characters (or multiple channels).
Our game studio has recently received support through the Custom Entity feature, allowing users to have multiple unique nicknames.
Through this feature, we have partially succeeded in implementing the ability to have multiple characters, but in features such as the leaderboard and group functionalities, it still operates on an account basis.
Nowadays, many mobile games are creating numerous channels, allowing players to create characters on each channel. Each channel has its own independent purchase history, leaderboard, guild, and play data.
This approach helps extend the game's lifespan and motivates new players. Are there any plans to implement this feature?
Thank you.

Hi @LEE-JONG-GUN ,
Thanks for the feedback.
This is admittedly a tricky one.
The best route I've seen to handle it is to use our shared (i.e. parent-child) accounts feature - which involves using a parent app for the player account - and a child app for the character accounts.
Note that it does involve two live apps - but we can put your parent app on a special plan with no live fee (you just pay for API calls) - and there won't be a ton of API call from that app - cause 99% of all calls will be against the child app.
There is more info here - https://docs.braincloudservers.com/learn/key-concepts/authentication/shared-accounts/
I hope that helps!
Paul.
