Email mixup

I sent a 20million inf recipe (first thing like that I have ever had) to @ instead of @. I actually had an account all and somehow got mixed up. It is late and I am dumb even when awake.

Is there any way that I can find out if the account is even active? I suspect I have lost the item. I sent a message but have little hope.

I hate using email as storage and transfer.

I sincerely hope that you get the recipe back but you may have to write this off as a loss. Good luck tho.

You can contact a GM and see if there is anything they can do about it. When the emails started disappearing because there was a timer on them no one knew about I managed to get 6 recipes back that way. I know a GM can track them and return items, but I don't know if a GM will do it, especially if it's an active account and the item was claimed.

Worth a shot though, worst he can say is no.

To the OP:
Check your Email.
20 Mill in case your item doesn't return, and a small yellow to improve your typing accuracy.
Please do not return either one to me, as my account will be inactive for a few months, starting tomorrow, I think.

Enjoy your gaming and better luck next time.

Can I have the rest of your stuff?


Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

Best. Community. Anywhere.

I was kind of bummed when this happened. I don't do much marketing and I was excited that I found something that would for me, sell for serious cash.

BBQ_Pork above, and others have in acts of kindness made up for my loss many times over. It's hard to be sad at this point.

Arigato. Merci. Danke. Gracias. Thank you all.

No.

But extra points for living up to your forum name!

I discovered that if the global you send the email to doesn't exist then it bounces back to the sender's inbox. I was sending a welcome email to a new player and my message bounced directly to my inbox.

I did the same thing. I sent a 999 million influence to myself or so I thought. My handle was @Dark Baroness1 and I sent to @Dark Baroness. I submitted a support ticket and got the influence back in about 5 days.

Indeed. It's why I've been here for nearly 6 years! This community rocks.
I was gifted the huge sum of $100,000 by a passer by my 1st week playing. This was long before we had a market and 1K was a ton of cash!
Since then I like to pay it forward as much as I can.

Glad to see I'm not the only one!

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Nah, I'll need it later.
Gone for a few months is different from leaving.
For one: CVoH has been a great game, with more pros than cons.
For two: CoH at 15$/mo has been a greater investment of funtime vs money than 15$ worth of movie tickets could hope to be.
For three: CoH, has had something beneficial in every issue, even if the main gist of the issue hasn't been my big deal every single issue. There's at least minor QoL improvements, a few emotes or a costume piece or something, in every new issue, that makes an improvement for me personally.

I'LL BE BACK!

This game rocks and no other MMO has my attention, nor caters to my particular style.

ROCK ON, CoH community, you are a fine bunch of folks!


If I don't do something foolish, I'll be back so soon, no one will notice I was gone!

To the OP, even if you don't get your stuff back, it's good to see that others have been keeping the good side of the community active!

Now, to perpetuate the threadjack:

Pork, to the best of my knowledge we've never met, teamed, or even played on the same server. I know we've never traded PMs on the forums, and I doubt that we've even had an in-thread conversation on the forums. Regardless, I've always considered you one of the Paragons (sorry! I had to! ) of the forums. Don't stray long, the City needs heroes like you.
