Email Changes
 

Just because I haven't paid for gold in a while, I can't change my email?
That's a security hole, since account info is emailed to an email I never use, and Anti-Graal groups hacked the database a while back, and I don't want them using the same email graal has access to.

So the suggestion would be letting classic account holders change the emails associated with their account.

I thought they would do this if you sent in a support ticket, and gave required info. Have you tried?

Yup, I was told that they won't do it for me because I have a classic account

Now that's just mean.

Lifetime access, ftl.

So, weren't the changes done recently? Why didn't you bother changing it before now?

I wasn't too active on graal until I got access back here.
Then I looked through my old email account, and saw all the anti unix bull****, and decided to try to change it.

From what I understand, it was just the HelpDesk thing that was broken into, and they sent those emails through there. I'm not sure what else was, though.

They do need to change this, I mean I never keep the same email, one gets spammed, make a new one. They are free. You should be able to change it though,

Get gmail. x_x

you should be able to change it.
the thing is, you will lose your lifetime classic if you do :P it's a sneaky way to get rid of lifetime classic accounts.

? That isn't true. I had my email changed on my non Kristi accounts.

I remember seeing a leaked list of accounts a few years ago, along with the full names of the players, home addresses and emails. (some were stolen buy guys registering old expired mailboxes)

Its not like you could be a global staff person or have connections.

Though I did have my account email changed when Road Runner became Comcast, but I'm pretty sure I had gold account at the time.

You don't lose lifetime. I've had my e-mail changed. You can't change accounts(move data from one or the other), or you lose classic. Apparently, this is because classic is no longer offered, thus unable to be transfered because it 'does not exist'.

That's what I was thinking. Makes more sense.

I don't remember a clause in the lifetime classic contract that said "if you change your email, you lose you lifetime classic". How do you lose a lifetime item?

You *don't*, like illustrated in the previous bunch of posts before yours.

some people who asked for it to be changed said they were told they'd lose their lifetime classic for it

Your account name... not your email...

quote by an admin (support ticket):
"Unfortunately e-mail changes require an active gold subscription unless lifetime classic is removed."

aren't accounts email based now tho?

Apparently I am wrong and through the email changing form you will lose lifetime classic.
I also think there is no real reason why you *should* lose it. That doesn't make any sense to me but oh well :P

:\ I get the feeling they just do that so people lose their lifetime classic because they want more people to upgrade... and if so... that's ridiculous.

That's plain stupid. :oo:

Probably to deter people from transferring lifetime classic accounts once they quit.

You can transfer any account.

It's against the rules to give your account to someone, hence why they are trying to prevent it.
