Changing your account e-mail. - Guild Wars Forums

Sup guys,

so i've been getting spooky e-mails saying there has been a request of changing my password for hotmail and stuff and even though i've changed the passwords on these i wanna be safe of any kind of BS

so i've been trying to change my e-mail which i sign in into my gw, it's an old e-mail adress and didn't really bother changing it but since i got the e-mails on that adress it's time to change it to my private adress

problem is that i can't seem to change it? my NC master account has possibility to change e-mail but i can't change my gw e-mail

why is this and how can i change it?
or is it impossible to change?

thanks for the help

I know it may sound picky, but the important thing to realize here is that you don't log into GW using an e-mail address - you log in using an "account name".
This account name looks like an e-mail address because of the way the account creation process works, but once the account creation process is over, the "account name" stays the same and, more importantly, it does not need to be a valid e-mail address any longer. It's now just an account name with an "@" in it.
The other important thing is that you have a current, active e-mail address linked to your account so that any e-mails that need to be sent to you, get sent to a real address. I forget, at the moment, what the procedure is to link a current e-mail address to your GW account, but I think it's through your master account.
