Curse

Salvorin Fex · Dec 22, 2009, 03:58 AM // 03:58

I have multiple accounts and I use the -password and -email on my shortcuts to login to the game faster. Today they have added that you must type in a character's name in addition to the email and password.

Does anyone know if they also added a -charactername or something to allow my shortcuts to work again?

It does work if you tell it to remember your security answer.

There is no known shortcut for this right now. As a consolation prize, you can check a box to have both your e-mail and security answer remembered, but if you have multiple accounts to log into, this won't be so useful to you.

What about accounts used only for storage, created quickly, without remembering character's names ?
are they lost ?

I don't understand why they did this kind of security !!! Many players using the same password on fansites and GW account ? Ok but, they use their IG too on these fansites...

This isn't a good joke

Thumbs up for this update. Hackerz got nerfed. And if you can`t remember your char names, you must be something close to retarded.

wow Kenzo... that kind of intervention is terribly useful, thx ! And terribly false too... Hackerz are not nerfed by this update : many players using the same mail for GW and fansites indicate their IG in these fansites... Benefit : 0
But this update will give much more work to support...

And if you can remember 9 account mails corresponding to 9 complicated passwords corresponding to 9 complicated IG created quickly (yes, i consider that Kevin The Great isn't a good IG...), you are my hero, marry me !!!
But i don't think you can...

please be constructive

Marry someone with 9 (nine) accounts??? You`ve got to be kidding me!
OT: This idea is not perfect, but it`s much better than nothing, right? Now, if someone is going to hunt your data by searching your ign, than matching it to your mail adress, etc.. Well, only if you pissed someone.

I haven't used my 2nd account for a while it was mainly for PvP and I don't remember any names of it =S

Aera · Dec 22, 2009, 12:01 PM // 12:01

Someone gave me an account ( which is my 3rd ) and it's gone now because I can't remember any characternames on it and it's not registered to my e-mail address

This was my problem, it took me ages to remember what character names were on that other account

Anyway i figured -character but it does not seem to work either

I Found list on the official website:
http://www.guildwars.com/support/log-in-security.php

So if you have an account without the names you should be able to contact tech support. Of course they are being swamped with requests.

Yeah, if you check save email address and security answer the security answer stays there even if you use a shortcut with a different -email option.

I hope someone chimes in with an answer for me.

Awesome MisterB I was just looking around for some more info on this

Coast · Dec 23, 2009, 01:10 PM // 13:10

writing down ur igns on a sheet or so usualy helps to remember

Thank you Mister B and Thank you Arena.net.

There is now balance to the force again.
