I dont actually recall logging into any wifis apart from friends wifis.. that's why I'm confused about how many..
Oh wait i just tell realised i went from my friends house (where i use wifi) to sydney airport. Maybe i forgot to turn it off and its automatically connected me.
I wad just a bit confused how my associated accounts jumped so much do randomly

There are a number of ways this can happen. If you've recently played the game using some public wi-fi--at a library, McDonald's, airport, college campus, to name a few, and another player has also accessed the game from the same place, the accounts become associated.

If your Internet Service Provider is a large, wide-spread utility (think AOL), or even a fairly large regional utility, they are usually assigned a block of IP addresses which they rotate among their subscribers as they sign in and out of the service. This can also cause accounts to be associated when, by chance, they use the same IP address at different times.

The only way to prevent such associations is to pay for a dedicated IP address, if your service provider offers such a thing, for a price (I couldn't say how much that would be).

If both players have Premium Upgrades, this stops being an issue. If it does create a difficulty (for example, selling a horse to someone), finding a trustworthy player to assist in the transfer is allowed, so long as it doesn't get abused.

It's not something you need to worry about. It's normally pretty obvious if it's the same person or not and is only rarely an issue between players. Stops 99% of cheating though. :D
