This is a message board, not a chat room. DO NOT use "Leet-Speak", slang or chat lingo our forums. Avoid Colloquial writing. This can best be described as "writing in the way that one would speak." It is an informal, slang style of English that should be reserved primarily for speech, as it can seem unprofessional and sloppy in written text. A casual tone can be interpreted positively in person with face-to-face contact, but can be perceived negatively in writing. As such, you have all the time necessary to articulate your posts in a coherent matter. "You" is only two more letters than "u." It will not kill you to type them. Completely illegible posts are subject to moderation - and I can not guarantee their accuracy of 'translating' the author’s original message.

Additionally, when one punctuation works instead of 10 (example: ? instead of ?!?!), use one.

First, spell check. Second, did you check your bulk/spam folder? And going off what you said, I'm assuming from what you've said that your account isn't tied to PlayNC? Just checking.

I don't know how quickly the reset works, but if after 24 hours you haven't heard from support then contact them directly at

http://www.guildwars.com/support/default.php

Be prepared with proof of ownership, etc. They will want to be sure that you are not stealing an account.

I think that if it was tied it would take you to the site to reset.
Either retry setting it again or send in a support ticket. They will ask for ownership proof so ago get busy scanning your codes.

First, please see my note on your OP. Secondly, I'm sure you do hate navigating throught support but we cannot help you here, so you're going to have to bite the bullet and do it.
