Forum Account Activation

[maskedmelon]

Is there a way to resend activation emails? I've a friend who made an account and used the wrong email address. The email address cannot be updated because the account is not active. They made a new email to match the address on the account, but there does not appear to be a way to resend the activation email. Is there a way to extricate the account from this state of limbo?

uuh likely you would need to petition it if it won't let him log into account admin. I mean if it's not there to resend. I know things have changed since I registered, with using my eqemu account. I'd just say forgo the wait and make an account to the email he intended, play, then petition for the other account. He can have more than one account, just not going at the same time unless with exemption, as you know. If he ever plans to play on more than one p99 server red/green/blue, it's probably better to have more than one account for reasons I won't mention here (me just uses one, I'm not a ban magnet ;) ).

Oh and he did in fact send it to the wrong email addy, right? You asked him to check his spam filter etc. I know I've done it once or twice over the years using wrong info, then needing to redo it/make another account. I've also had regs fall into spam filters of course, scratch my head til I think of it. I think it's still fairly rare to see resends on account creation, at least those that won't let you log in until it's activated. All thanks to spammers ;)

I'd get him to register at EQemulator.org (old style) if he didn't get too far on his character.
