Restoring deleted gamesas accounts

Post » Sat Jan 01, 2011 3:30 pm

He didnt say what they will do about the accounts that were left messed up due to wrong usage of delete function.
As it says, these accounts can't be reinstated, the email address and username cannot be registered again. That's why there is a warning box that shows up and says it can't be reverted.

This is NOT true I just did that! No thanks to you though!

HOW DID YOU DO IT?!!?! PLEASE TELL ME!!!

I installed firebug (plugin for firefox) -> logged in to my supposedly deleted account -> went to "account settings" -> opened the page in firebug and removed the hidden fields -> BAM! you can "free" your email address by entering either fake one or thisaccount@isdeleted.com

Hope this helps :)

Jesus could a website admin please get on this? I am not happy because a corrupted cookie caused my code to be redeemed on the wrong account. And then a database error caused my email to get separated from my user account. They became 2 separate accounts, and I deleted the email one because I thought that was some kind of mistake. I didn't think deleting that would mess up the other account.

It's just not acceptable to say "Too bad, yo shouldn't have done it." god damn it get a server admin to fix the database

This is NOT true - I just did that! No thanks to you though!

EDIT: I registered a new account, with an email address from a deleted account.


This won′t work at my new account.

You need to "unregister" your email account from your deleted/old account before you can register a new account with that email account...

I have successfully logged into my "deleted" account, be typing the deleted account username in the "forgot password" field... Can't remember if I was on the forum "tab" or "home" tab though - this is however important, as this site runs two (or more) very separate systems... Where the "forum" is separate form the rest of the site, and is running on its own database, hence all problems.

The calmed reason for this, is that a user can be banned from the forum, but still have an active game account. This is however BS as it might as well have been an attribute on the user table of the same database. You could just have a field called "forumActive=True" and a field called "gameActive=True". Once a the user get banned you just set "forumActive=False".

This would however force gamesas.com to implement their own forum module and not just use this open source project phpBB (http://www.phpbb.com/community/).

Edit: Btw the rest of the site is implemented in Drupal (http://drupal.org/), and is in fact running on its own database. To make matters worse we then also have to take GameSpys database into account.

All this mess is imho related to where you signed up the first time. If you were on the main site (Drupal) or if you were on the forum (phpBB) or if you were inGame. And then add if you had an existing gamesas.com and/or if you had an existing GameSpyId.

When you add up all these cases there are some serious debugging to do :) Good luck to Crytek to sort this mess out...

Crytek should rename the "delete" button to "deactivate". You do not delete anything by pressing the delete button - you do in fact deactivate your account. The catch is however, it is inreversible - Funny stuff.

I also write to the EA support, they say go to the gamesas.com support.
But I′m waiting for this answer since the 28.03.2011.
