Now that this account is reactivated (and I can reach the forums), does anyone know how I might be able to exchange an account from one username to another?

My guess would be change the password and start using your own game card/credit card.
Has he got other games on the same account? Sorry but that was not thinking ahead.
I just want to say a quick thanks for this weekend. RL has thrown me a curveball for the past month or so.
As soon as I get some spare change, I'll be coming back full time
Thanks again!!!
I like the idea of a free Reactivation Weekend, but I have to strongly disagree with the timing. I have a RL friend this would apply to, and if I convinced him to give it a shot, he'd be subjected to a weekend of lag, bugs, and chaos. I can't possibly believe he would finish the weekend with a positive impression of the game, and the experience would only reaffirm his previous decision to quit.
As much as I want him to play this game alongside me, I will not be informing him of this special weekend. Fix the obvious bugs, let the dust settle for a week or two, and THEN consider a Reactivation Weekend.
Please.
Ah its good to be back 
*cough* Howdy!
See, now this reactivation thing was a mistake. Now I can post over here again instead of my usual haunt on the EU boards! 
How does this affect "Inviting a friend back" referrals? Will no one be able to collect a referral for the the next 90 days because every old account was reactivated?

Figures. I came back last weekend to check things out and had to pay for it. ;-)
Oh well, now i'll be checking it out for 45 days instead of 3. you win THIS time City of [mumble]!

I'll be honest and admit that I still don't understand the rationale of having a reactivation weekend that goes from Thursday to Sunday when the long weekend goes from Friday to Monday...

Because we want them to go to log in on Monday, find out that they can't and resub...
...yes, we're evil like that.
What? We never said this was a non-profit organization!

Wow. That was the most honest answer from a company in reference to it's marketing that i've ever seen....

Out!
P.S. Good to see that the "form you submitted is no longer valid" error isn't just limited to the EU forum
Is there any way we can get access to the traffic on each server? I think we all know Freedom and Virtue are #1 and #2. Sometimes they're just too busy. I'd like to set roots on another server with some new toons but I don't want to be in a ghost town either. So, if anyone could put out some numbers or even a rank of server traffic please let me know

Well, looking at only last night's peak numbers on each server, we have (listing of player counts)
Freedom
Virtue
Then a bit down from those two
Infinity
Justice
Then just under those two are all the rest of the servers, which are all within maybe 5-10 players different of each other's peak numbers.
Of course, this is a single night's sample, so well, take it for what you will.

My cousin bought this account for me a while back, but I didn't have a credit card, nor were there any stores around that sold time cards (still aren't). I used to just give him $15 a month when I wanted to play, but now he's moved waaay too far for me to drive out there just for $15. Especially with gas at $4/gal.
Now, I have a PlayNC account, but we're stumped on how we can exchange my game from his account. Any help is appreciated

If you have a Wallmart near you, you could get a greendot card and use that.

Woo, reactivation frenzy!
Lighthouse, I appreciate your input and will look to frequent those four servers.
I've been playing for 3+ months and I am hooked! I've never really gamed or done anything like this before and I am enjoying this. I think, overall, you guys are doing a great job and look forward to being on board for a long, long time.
My only concern is the populace on a few servers. I have tried each one and found it tough to play on them due to lack of population (back to my first post here). Anyway, ever think about having the Euro servers (English speaking) amalgamate into a couple of ours? It would increase the population and allow for people to be online at some odd hours (I keep some funny hours at times). Anyway thanks for the good times and make mine Co*!

by the time the client downloads the weekend should be over.
good planning devs thx for the advance notice!!
its been going for 24 hours and only has 18 hours left!
18.5k/sec isnt very good. not when i'm used to 200k/sec.
i'm sure the people playing are enjoying the lag too, sounds like a fun time for everyone!
not exactly a good way to try and get people to come back.
Been gone for a month. I'm playing right now. Lots of fun. My little Archnos widow is lvl 9. My MM has a lovely set of Roman armor. My 2 month time card I ordered from Amazon came in the mail a day or two ago. So I guess all that left to say is. Glad to be back.
This would be great if I could remember the password to my old account.
I thought this was supposed to be a reactivation weekend? I told my brother about it, and he can't get on. It is well within the time still. He had a paid account for 30 months, and was never banned. Why can't his account get on? I petitioned this, but haven't gotten a response yet.
A friend of mines had to close his account over a yr. ago due to some problems. Thanks to reactivation weekend, he was able to log and play just like the old times .
Once again, thanks !!!
Oddly enough neither I (who have an active account) nor any of my friends (who have let theirs go inactive) got the email advising of this. I just happened to notice the post in the News section of the main CoH site this morning.
Bummer... I know they wanted to try I12 too. C'est la vie I suppose.
Come to think of it, I never got an email letting me know that I12 had gone live either... odd. I wonder if the mailer might be having problems with some types of email accounts.
