Guys i have solution for everyone who have old gamespay account.
I used this method back in Unreal Tournament 3 which had separate name-space in gamespy registry.
Problem of gamesas.com:
Actually it (and game itself) should accept login and password of your old gamespy account and automaticly create rest of account data for you or ask to enter additional dta, but due of poor coding from Crytek side, in most cases you will fail to login with your gamespy account and will be forced to create MyCrisys account.
But in fact whenever you will create gamesas account here at site, or in game - it will create Gamespy account in sub-name space.
This where the tick begins:
When you register at gamesas you need to enter EXACTLY SAME NAME AS YOU HAVE IN YOUR NORMAL GAMESPY ACCOUNT, SAME E-MAIl as you have in Gamespy account AND SAME PASSWORD!
If you will register here with that trick, your new gamesas account will be merged with old Gamespy account with same name, e-mail and password, so you would be able to use your old gamespy id in Crysis 2.
If you was smart enough to register here with same old Gamespy name you may use your account settings in gamesas to change E-mail and password, and all you need to do - set same e-mail and password as in your gamespy account.
In case if somebody other here registered with your gamespy id name , you must claim from Crytek to return this name to you, because by design it should belongs to you and you should login with it here, but due of fault of Crytek, this sub-registry creates exploit in Gamespy, that may allow other user who registered here, to hijack your old gamespy id name and this is legal resposibility of Crytek to not allow this happen.
New users registered here may hijack your old unique gamespy id is they will try lo login to other gamespy services with dublicated name created here, so when you will return back to your gamespy account, it may force you to select new name, since your old name was taken by someone. thats how i lost my old name at Gamespy, due of same bug in other old game.
Im not sure if this is still possible to hijack gamespy name this way, maybe gamespy fixed it, or maybe dublicated name will stay only in Crysis 2 names sub-registry, but anyway, if you had name as gamespy id before its legaly yours and you must claim for it return if someone else taken it here due of mistake of Crytek.
If you lost you bonus content due of this account mess, its you legal right to claim for transfer content licence and other data from account to account, and its duty of Crytek to help and deal with mess they created, if they will refuse to help you with that problem - tell them that you will sue them, if they will resist to help again, sue them for fraud and violation of warranties and other laws. You paid for content and its yours!
