So, I'm curious here - I have this account, which I deleted without getting the warning pop up. You are telling us that these accounts cannot be restored.
The thing is - I have a working ingame account, tied to the same (now locked gamesas.com account). Does this mean that I will never be able to login to gamesas.com using my working ingame account, thus never being able to redeem my preorder DLC?
I do infact play MP on my working account and are leveling on that account - so please do not tell me to create an entire new account with an entirely new email address.
Furthermore the email address in question is my ONLY email address - I will NOT create a gmail or hotmail just to have it linked to Crysis 2. If I used an email for the sole purpose of this, what happens in a year or two, when I want to retrieve my account? The gmail/hotmail account would possible be closed due to inactivity...
I think the basic gist of the issue is this:
With the site and game authentication still in beta, they went live even though these issues were around during the game's open beta. With so many players already registered and playing multiplayer, they probably realize the only way to resolve the issue of cleaning up these dead accounts is to clear the database and start over. Option 2 would be for their customer service department (lol?) to field each request to reinstate or fix logon problems on an individual basis.
Since both require actual work on their part to fix the problem they went live with, they probably figure why bother and just set a policy that account issues won't be dealt with.
I mean, I have a LE code that I don't want to activate on another email address, nor do I want to create a whole new identity for myself when this is the one folks know me as, but they're basically saying "hey, we got your $60 bucks, why bother with you now?".
Just my guess, for what it's worth.
