ZorMal 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2016 Hi guys, Got a question regarding my old account. I´m not 100% sure about the login I used when I played nostalrius the last time(December 2015). Is there a way to find out if my email is connected to a char in some way? Thx, 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weendoo 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Hello ZorMal, E-mail accounts don't get connected to a single WoW character, but to the WoW account. If you are not sure about the user name of your account, you can always go and look it up at your e-mail, by checking the first message you received after creating the account, the one with the activation link. If you figure out the user name, but not your password, you will be able to recover it once the server is live, and the database is in place, along with the website. Hope this helps.

If you did register your account at that time when Nost launched there was no first message neither an activation link. You simply put in an email-address and were able to play with your name/password. That´s why some people including me are not able to change their password again due to email-addresses used which don´t exist anymore.

Garse 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2016 Ahhh I have a specific problem, so I'd just like to make you aware of it, in case there'll be a way to get my account back - I forgot my login, and I deleted the e-mail account to which it was bound (yahoo, after all the security lapses), I do know which e-mail address it was, though. I feel like crying now, Nost is coming back and then my memory fails T_T 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zappa 7 Report post Posted December 8, 2016 Pottu said we can login with our username and password. We just can´t change the password without the email. Let´s just play and hope they find a fix for us dude. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellipsea 36 Report post Posted December 8, 2016 Those first couple of months on Nost, we made accounts without any email verification. So, if you made it early on, there's no email associated to it. If you still have the original Nost install, go dig in the WTF folder for account name, but I'm guessing you don't have that : ( 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patchi 4 Report post Posted December 8, 2016 Also, if you never deleted your client, you can look into the WTF folder, under accounts and see all the account names you logged in with. Then it's just a matter of remembering the password. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
