Returning Player lost account

I returned to the server after leaving in December. My second account was the account my brother used when i lived with him, and he doesnt use it anymroe and cannot remember the account name. He knows the password but doesnt know what is uppercase or not.

Is it safe to create a new second account? Or is there a way to recover the old one?


Didnt know where to post this. sicne it is sort of a "connection issue" i figured this was close to the right place :)

I would think you could create a new second account...I believe its the IP they use to tell if you go over 2 accounts,

You do know that you can recover the account name (if on the same computer) by looking in the directory that all the character profiles (settings) are saved? On windows 7 it is under My Documents. It organizes the character profiles first by shard, then by account name -- so that is how you can find the account name.

Yeah, passwords wouldn't be saved there, but if you know the email address(and have access to it) I think you can reset your password for that account.
