Okay so after a long period of not playing I decided to reactivate my account and re-download the game. I did this, and got the email saying it was active.

Now however, when I try to log in using the name that the NCsoft site says the account is I always get a message saying either username or password are incorrect. I've changedthe password twice through the NCsoft site but it still wont let me in.

Make sure you're using your City of Heroes password and not your NCSoft account password. They're different (or they can be, anyway). Failing that, file a Support ticket.

it can take some time for the payment server and login server to synch. It sounds like you updated on Weekend, when nobody was in office to process the payment and reactivate the login.

if you can't login by Tuesday, contact customer service. Basically, give them a standard working day to process your account, which would be Monday.

Well the one I changed said it was for the game account.

I tried that, though my username here is different from the username NCsoft says my game account is. And I vaguelly remember using the latter when I last played.

When they move to the new forums they made it the same info as you log in to the game with. So if you can log in to the forum then you can log in to the game, if you can log in to the game then you can log in the the forums.

Just use the same User name and password that you are using here and that should log you in.

Your visible username (Aurell) doesn't matter. The one that you log into the forums with (in the username/password form) is what matters. That one is exactly the same as your game login now.

Activation of any kind on the live server should be instantaneous. It is only the test server that "should" lag behind, as the sync system usually doesn't run on the weekends.

If it takes more than an hour for the Live servers to recognize that you've restarted your account, contact support immediately.

UK. I assumed I had the right client, I clicked 'download PC client' from NCsoft.

edit: the one I downloaded was CohUpdater.EU.exe
