You'd just need to know the password/login, and barring that, at least have a good e-mail address attached to the account so you could recover the password. Barring that, I think you'd have to contact customer support.

Also if your account was on the old EU servers you will need to prepend EU to the account name

i.e. if your username was Gore it will now be EUGore.

If it was a trial account it may also have been renamed - you should have received an email for that.

Not necessarily. If your user name was unique, you kept it. EU was added only for those EU accounts whose user names were also in use by US accounts at the time of the merge.

(Funny things happened if you had a US account named EUxyz and an EU account named xyz.)

Trial accounts did NOT get their login info changed, just their global names. I have a few old trial accounts that I've used as Free accounts since the switch, and the login info has all been unchanged.

I was under the impression ALL EU accounts were renamed and it was just the globals where the collision test was applied. Might be wrong and mine was affected either way.
Its still a possibility that the OPs account may have been renamed though so if his account was an EU one he should try both names.

I dread to think what would have happened if you had EU account xyz, NA accounts xyz and EUxyz - even worse if someone else had the last one.


Also Roderick is correct with the trial accounts - I was thinking of the globals on that.

I have an EU account, and it wasn't renamed.

I can confirm this on 5 pre-i13 trial accounts. O
