Discussion How to switch to NetEase Global servers: full guide for iOS and Android

202 Upvotes

TL;DR: Transfers are no longer possible. You can start a new game on NetEase.

Have you just heard about this game and can't find it on the App Store and Google Play? This guide will show you how to download the game.

If you took a big break from the game and just discovered that the game is no longer available, I have to disappoint you. Servers in Europe, America and a number of other regions have been shut down. For two months, the feature of transferring WB users' characters to the servers of the publisher NetEase in Africa, Asia and Oceania was available. Most players joined these servers. If you haven’t done so, you have lost your character.

You can still download the game and create a new account on NetEase. There are a lot of American and European players on the Africa and Asia servers, come join us.

The time zones of the English-speaking servers:

The house cup and server events are held at:

Sphinx/Erumpent: 10 AM PST, 1 PM EST, 7 PM Central European Time

Ashwinder/Rougarou: 5 AM PST, 8 AM EST, 2 PM Central European Time

Android:

  1. Open: https://www.harrypottermagicawakened.com/global/
  2. Download the official APK for Android.
  3. Create a new HPMA account, you can bind it with Google, Facebook or NetEase Games.
  4. If you are in Europe, select Africa -> Sphinx (Egypt) as your server. Players from Asia and the Americas: choose Asia -> Ashwinder (Singapore). On both servers, the main language of communication is English. Oceania players: Rougarou (Australia).

iOS — Creating a new App Store account

Players on iOS will need to change the region of their App Store account. Since this involves a number of issues, if you have active subscriptions, I recommend another way: create a separate Apple ID account for the App Store in a different region. If you don’t have subscriptions and don’t want to create a new account, you can try the second method below, both methods are safe.

  1. Open: https://appleid.apple.com/account
  2. Choose Malaysia as your region (it can be any different country where NetEase Global operates).
  3. Enter your phone number and email to confirm the account (you can use a number from any region). You need an email address that hasn’t been used as an Apple ID before, but you can reuse your phone number for a second account. (If you are getting “your request could not be completed at this time” error, scroll down, I found a few solutions).
  4. Open the App Store on your iPhone/iPad, click on your profile icon in the top right corner.
  5. Scroll down until you see the «Sign Out» button. Do not do this with iCloud in your iPhone settings!
  6. Log in to your new account and type Harry Potter Magic Awakened into the App Store search, download the game. If your iPhone asks you to specify a payment method, select None. If your iPhone asks an address, you can write something random, here is an example: Street:  Batu 2 Lot 20 Jalan Kuala | City:  Kuala Lumpur | Postcode: 50000 | County: Kuala Lumpur | Phone: 607 1234567
  7. Create a new HPMA account, you can bind it with Apple, Google, Facebook or NetEase Games.
  8. If you are in Europe, select Africa -> Sphinx (Egypt) as your server. Players from Asia and the Americas: choose Asia -> Ashwinder (Singapore). On both servers, the main language of communication is English. Oceania players: Rougarou (Australia).
  9. You can log out of your new App Store account and go back to your old one. You will be able to update the game without logging into your Malaysian account, to do so, tap on the profile icon in the App Store and swipe down until you find the game in the update list.

iOS — Changing the region of your old account (Alternative method)

If you are having trouble with the method I described above, you can try a method similar to what Kang showed in his video. Please note that this method will not work if your account has active subscriptions (like Apple Music) or money in your App Store wallet balance.

  1. Open App Store, click on the round profile icon on the top right, then your name in the window that opens.
  2. Click on the Country/Region section, then click Change Country or Region in the next window.
  3. Select Malaysia or any other country where NetEase Global operates.
  4. Under Payment Method, you will need to select None. If this option is not listed, try going back to step two and repeating the process until this option appears. This is what it should look like.
  5. Write any random billing address, you can use my example for Malaysia: Street:  Batu 2 Lot 20 Jalan Kuala | City:  Kuala Lumpur | Postcode: 50000 | County: Kuala Lumpur | Phone: 607 1234567
  6. Download Harry Potter Magic Awakened from the App Store.
  7. Create a new HPMA account, you can bind it with Apple, Google, Facebook or NetEase Games.
  8. If you are in Europe, select Africa -> Sphinx (Egypt) as your server. Players from Asia and the Americas: choose Asia -> Ashwinder (Singapore). On both servers, the main language of communication is English. Oceania players: Rougarou (Australia).
  9. Once you’ve downloaded the game and set everything up, you can get your old Apple ID region back. To do this, repeat steps 1-2 and select your old region at the end.

By the way, NetEase Global is playable on PC

  1. Open: https://www.harrypottermagicawakened.com/global/
  2. Download the official PC launcher from the website.

How do I make in-game purchases?

Android and PC players can make purchases directly in-game.

iOS users can make purchases on the NetEase top up webpage. Choose “Others” as your country to get an access to international payment methods.

NetEase top up page: https://pay.neteasegames.com/hpmagicawakened/topup

Are you getting the error ‘your request could not be completed at this time’ when you’re trying to create an Apple ID?

I have collected possible solutions to this problem for you.

  1. Make sure you are using a Gmail email address
  2. You can try creating an account at https://www.icloud.com
  3. You can contact Apple support, give them your email address and tell them you can’t create an account: https://support.apple.com
  4. A more radical method (not recommended): you can log out of your iCloud account on your iPhone in Settings, then go to the App Store, click on ‘don't have an Apple ID’, then create a new account. I don't particularly recommend doing this as iCloud is tied up with synchronising your data, but if nothing at all works for you, it's an option.

Discussion Never Insult or Spam

If you are in GM and desperately climbing to Magic Awakened, don’t insult your Magic Awakened Partner. We will purposely throw the game because you are being rude.

This guy, put himself in a bad position and used up his movement cards too much. Now mind you, I’m being hammered as well, but I was able to turn things around by launching fire crabs onto the enemy field, which severely limited enemy movement, both players were panicking. But as soon as my teammate began spamming text and was probably insulting me, I’m sorry but you don’t deserve to advance to MA.

Question Affinity

I've been doing a lot of dance club and forbidden forest (new here so doing my best to figure out all the content I need to do) and I've noticed all the npcs have affinity. Does that have any effect on how strong they are? I don't quite follow its use.

Question Hi

I used to play HPMA a lot back in the day both in global and asian servers after it shut down globally. It's been 1.5 years since I left and recently I felt nostalgic about this game. I just wanted to know how this game is doing. Are summons still OP or can spellcasters compete? How is my beloved Dumbledore echo doing? Does everyone have full lv 18 decks even in platinum rank? Is abigail still moving mad?

Discussion Could This Be a Small Sign of Hope for Global Servers?

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I found myself thinking about this again today, so I reached out to customer service once more.
I explained that the game needs to break out of its current cycle, and that reopening servers in Europe and America could make a huge difference in attracting new players and could also be profitable for the game.
I’m sharing the response I received below. Maybe I’m looking at it from an overly positive perspective, but I found one sentence quite hopeful:

“We hope that in the future, if possible, there will be some positive changes.”

What do you guys think about this? I know customer service probably won’t share any concrete information on this topic and that these decisions are beyond their control. However, this sentence feels more like a small sign of hope to me rather than just a standard, diplomatic response.

Looking at the game’s recent updates overall, I also think the preparations around the London map and the generous gem rewards could be interpreted as signs that things aren’t necessarily going in a negative direction. Maybe they’re trying to retain existing players, attract new ones, and prepare the game for some major upcoming updates.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

Discussion Can we

3 Upvotes

But can we ask them to remove the shortcut feature that has you enter build mode by long-pressing objects in personal space? Or at least have an option to turn it off cuz It's annoying af. Very often I'm just trying to get around my room and all of a sudden I'm in build mode because my movement accidentally triggers the feature by undeliberately picking up a random furniture.

In some cases this may even end up ruining furniture placement especially with objects you can't automatically revert to their original spot

We have a serious problem on our server. People have been using AI to generate images and then posting them in the community. We've politely asked them to stop, but they continue to ignore those requests.

Now things have gotten much worse. They're generating images depicting the harassment and pursuit of other members. We've submitted reports, but the administration hasn't taken any action.
We're asking you to please look into this situation and help us address the problem. This behavior is making the server increasingly uncomfortable for its members, and we would really appreciate your attention and support 😔

Discussion Estarían de acuerdo con un Nivel 15 base?

8 Upvotes

La implementación de un Nivel Base 15 automático para todas las cartas de jugadores nuevos es la medida definitiva para eliminar la barrera de nivel y garantizar la competitividad hacia Magic Awakened (MA) desde el primer mes.

Actualmente, Harry Potter: Magic Awakened sufre de una brecha de poder opresiva. Los jugadores veteranos cuentan con mazos al nivel máximo (18+), mientras que un jugador nuevo tiene cartas en 6-9, y tarda hasta más de un año en alcanzar un nivel competitivo. Dado que el modelo de negocio real de este tipo de juegos no depende del gasto masivo inicial de ballenas, sino de la retención activa a largo plazo y las microtransacciones estéticas (pases mensuales, atuendos, escarbatos y tiradas gacha), mantener un sistema Pay to Fast tan castigador ahuyenta a la base de usuarios recién ingresada y pone en riesgo la longevidad del juego.

Mi propuesta: Sistema de Sintonización de Nivel Base 15

Para nivelar el terreno de juego desde el día uno sin destruir la progresión natural de los veteranos:

Sintonización Automática: Al completar el tutorial de la escuela, todas las cartas en posesión del jugador (y las que obtenga en el futuro) se ajustan automáticamente a un Nivel Base 15 para todos los modos de Duelo Clasificado.

Progresión de Niveles (15 al 18+): El nivel real de las cartas obtenido mediante copias y oro servirá únicamente para subir del nivel 15 al nivel máximo, permitiendo que la ventaja del veterano sea prudente y no aplastante como en el sistema actual.

Acceso Inmediato a Rangos Altos: Con cartas en nivel 15, un jugador nuevo con alta habilidad táctica, buen uso de ecos y sinergias puede llegar al rango Magic Awakened en su primer mes de juego.

Mitos y verdades:

El mito de la ballena nueva: Las ballenas que entran y gastan miles de dólares de golpe son una minoría insostenible. Si el entorno de juego está desierto de jugadores casuales o competitivos nuevos, las propias ballenas pierden el interés al no tener una comunidad activa contra la cual competir, y las ballenas actuales ya tienen sus cartas al máximo con ecos extraordinarios.

El verdadero motor financiero: El juego se sostiene mediante el consumo recurrente de volumen:

Pases de temporada (Season Passes).

Aspectos de varita, atuendos y cosméticos de rueda gacha (Lucky Wheel).

Escarbatos y beneficios diarios.

Conversión de Jugador a Pagador:

Un jugador que experimenta partidas mecedoras, competitivas y justas desde su primer mes se enamora del juego y está dispuesto a gastar en cosméticos. Un jugador que es aplastado por diferencia de nivel en sus primeras semanas desinstala la aplicación sin gastar un solo centavo.

Resultados aplicando la idea para los Jugadores nuevos:

Matchmaking justo: La victoria o derrota depende del emparejamiento de mazos, gestión de movimiento, rotación de cartas y dominio del eco, no de los puntos de vida o daño base.

Sensación de logro: La posibilidad real de escalar hasta Magic Awakened premia la curva de aprendizaje en lugar del tiempo/dinero invertido en años previos.

Para el Ecosistema del Juego y los Veteranos ganamos:

Tiempos de espera reducidos: La inyección masiva y retención de nuevos Duelistas dinamiza las colas de emparejamiento en todos los rangos.

Metajuego vivo: Mayor variedad de mazos y estrategias en la escalera clasificatoria.

Preservación del prestigio veterano: Los jugadores antiguos conservan sus marcos exclusivos, cosméticos de temporadas pasadas, ecos optimizados con mejores atributos y la pequeña ventaja del nivel 18+, manteniendo su estatus sin arruinar la experiencia de los demás.

Un cambio así nos quitaría el esticma de ser Pay to win que no somos, pero con un Pay To Fast tan absurdo como el actual los jugadores nuevos no se van a motivar a quedarse, mucho menos en poner un solo dolar al juego. Sabemos que antes de la llegada de Warner Magic awakened tenía un tope de nivel hasta 15 en nivel de cartas y 100 en nivel de libro, la brecha actual, incluso con aceleradores es muy alta. La pregunta, estarían dispuestos los veteranos a que se adopte una medida así si se nos compensa esos niveles que nosotros pagamos?

Discussion Zouwu server I need a merge with Ashwinder

20 Upvotes

This is my second post about merging zouwu, but it's really important to me. I love playing HPMA, but such a small number of players on this small server discourages me from playing. Events and club activities become boring if there's no one to do them with. If we write to Netease to merge this server, the players will be happy (I won't even mention how awful it is to wait in the queue for the first hide and seek or warboard match, because it's a different level of nightmare). WE NEED YOUR HELP.
