CN Server Login Guide: Phone & Real-Name Explained
Step-by-step for global players: QQ, WeChat, phone verification, and real-name check.
Overview
Roco Kingdom: World CN Server Beginner Guide for Overseas Players: QQ, WeChat, and Real-Name Verification Explained
After seeing Roco Kingdom: World launch on the CN server, many overseas players probably have the same first reaction: Can I play it now? What if I don’t have a Chinese phone number or Chinese ID?
Let’s be upfront: Yes, you can play, but the entry barrier is definitely a bit high. Downloading the game is never the hard part. What really tends to block people is the account, phone number verification, and Tencent’s real-name verification. Even if you already have QQ or WeChat, that does not mean you can enter the game smoothly without any issues.
This guide will break down exactly what hurdles overseas players need to clear if they want to play the CN server.

What barriers will overseas players face when trying to play the CN server?
Since the CN server is not specifically designed for overseas environments, you may run into the following problems during the process:
- Download restrictions: The client may not appear in your region’s app store.
- Account restrictions: You must log in with QQ or WeChat.
- SMS verification: You may need to receive a phone verification code during registration.
- Real-name verification: Tencent Health System’s anti-addiction real-name verification will inevitably be triggered.
- Network issues: Cross-border direct connection will most likely have terrible latency, so you may need to prepare a game accelerator.
Simply put: overseas players can play, but the process is much more troublesome than playing a normal global-release game.

The four-step “clear route” for registration and login
If you want to enter the game smoothly, it is recommended to complete these four steps in order:
Step 1: Download the client
This is the easiest step. You can download it through the official Roco Kingdom: World website, WeGame, TapTap China, or directly from the iOS China App Store. If you encounter region restrictions, switching your app store region or simply using the PC version can solve the problem.
Step 2: Get QQ or WeChat ready
The game requires a Tencent account to log in. If you already have a long-term WeChat or QQ account, just try logging in directly.
If you are registering a new account, it is recommended to try registering QQ first. This is because QQ has an English registration page and supports phone region codes for Hong Kong, Macau, and overseas regions during registration.
Step 3: Phone number verification
This is where many overseas players get a headache: “Do I have to have a Chinese phone number?”
The reality is: not necessarily, but you must have a number that can receive verification codes long-term.
Do not take the easy route by using temporary SMS receiving platforms, virtual numbers bought on Taobao, or shared numbers. Once these numbers expire, if you later run into overseas login, device switching, or account recovery, your account is basically dead. Try to bind a phone number that you personally control long-term.
Step 4: Tencent Health System real-name verification — the final boss
Registering the account only opens the door. Real-name verification is the real gatekeeper.
According to the rules, all players must complete real-name verification with valid identity documents. If you do not complete this step, you will either be unable to enter the game, or your playtime will be restricted.

What if you do not have a Chinese mainland ID?
Many people mistakenly think that Tencent games require a Chinese mainland ID. In reality, that is not entirely true.
According to Tencent Health System’s official explanation, the system supports some non-mainland Chinese documents for verification. You can go through the Health System official website, or search for the “Tencent Health System” mini program on WeChat, enter the “Real-Name Query” section, and choose the corresponding document type.
Currently supported valid documents include:
- Chinese mainland resident ID card — the fastest and most stable option
- Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents / Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents
- Overseas Chinese passport / overseas passport
- Foreign Permanent Resident ID Card — the Five-Star Card
Key point: If you use an overseas passport or other special document, you usually need to go through manual review. The system generally takes around 1–3 working days to return a result. Whether it passes depends on whether your information is filled in accurately and the actual status of your account.

Listen carefully: if you really want to take a “shortcut,” understand these traps first
If you truly cannot complete real-name verification yourself, there are very few ways to solve the problem legally and safely. The most reliable method is to ask a real-life Chinese relative or friend you absolutely trust for help.
If you really cannot find anyone and plan to buy an account directly, make sure you understand the following realities first. Do not waste your money for nothing:
If you absolutely must buy an account, use “Pangxie” or “Panzhi” and other more formal platforms
Do not trade privately through Tieba, Xianyu, or unknown group members. These accounts are extremely easy to recover. If you must buy one, you need to use mature domestic trading platforms that offer “recovery compensation” services, such as Pangxie account consignment or Panzhi account consignment.
Do not use “real-name verification services” from platforms like Taobao
These usually bind your account using identity information leaked from gray-market sources. Once the game later requires secondary facial verification, you will not be able to find the corresponding person to scan their face, and the account will directly become a dead file.
Do not use virtual ID information found online
Tencent Health System’s connected verification checks are very strict. Fake identity information can trigger risk control in minutes and directly lead to a permanent account ban.
Do not use temporary phone numbers from SMS receiving platforms
When you switch devices or your account becomes abnormal and requires SMS unlocking, the temporary number will already be invalid, and your account will be useless.

Q: Can I play without a Chinese phone number?
Not necessarily. Some players can successfully register with an overseas phone number, but some accounts or devices may trigger regional risk control and force domestic phone number verification. This is very unpredictable, so you can only test it with your own account.
Q: I already have WeChat. Does that mean I’m safe?
No. WeChat is only your “pass.” The game will still trigger Tencent Health System and require you to complete real-name verification. There is no avoiding the real-name verification step.
Q: What if I really cannot complete registration and real-name verification?
If you do not want to deal with accounts, verification codes, passport manual review, and accelerators, the safest option is actually waiting for the official international server / global version. Although there is no specific timetable yet, this is definitely the easiest route for overseas players.
