Hello all, first off let me go ahead and divulge that this is my second account created. I understand that this is against the rules for forum posting as concerned by the “Code of Conduct”, however, please continue to read on so I am able to explain myself.

I started playing the day this game released. After a while I went on deployment and stopped playing to focus more on not getting shot at. While I was gone A-Net implemented a password “Blacklist” and my password just happened to be one of the ones that got put on the list. Now, I didn’t get back until mid February so I was unaware of all of this taking place and have been unable to reset my password due to the fact that I bought digitally and cannot find my Serial Code. I have tried to submit tickets describing my issue to support but have yet been able to get in touch with them. Of the two tickets that I have submitted the first one was sent on the 17th of February and has gone without a responce since. My second ticket was made on the 6th of March.

I have kept up-to-date with all of my inbound emails; I even checked my spam folder just to make sure they were’t going in there. I have called NCSoft support line and they assured me that implementing the tickets in my only source of action and that they themselves could not offer the support I was requesting. So here I finally am…

Now, I would have made this post with my old account but like stated above I am unable to log in. So instead of waiting for another month for a reply I just bought a brand new game (kept my Serial Code email so I don’t make the same mistake again) and with it a brand new account. I am not in a foul mood (contrary to my user name on the left…) and I have every intention of playing the account that I have now created, however, I would like my old account back to either merge the two together or just to be able to play on both again as I spent a lot of time playing the characters on the old account.

If you need to know, I have both Incident Codes for both of my support tickets still in my email folder ready to go. I just do wish to have to wait another month for a reply.

I’d like to try to help. Can you tell me the 12-digit incident numbers for the tickets that you submitted?

We cannot merge your two accounts — it’s impossible to do so. However, we can help you enable the first account you purchased that you were unable to use, or at least explain why you weren’t able to use it. If you have the ticket number(s), great. If not, please email support@guildwars2.com and provide the new number n the Tickets for Review thread, which is at the top of this Account Support sub-forum. I think can look into this for you.

130218-000448 — the team responded the day you contacted them asking for additional information in order to help you. You never responded.

130307-000470 — the same. You must give some information to prove you own the accounts. We cannot responsibly turn over an account based only on a request, I’m sure you appreciate that!

I have updated the older ticket and sent it out to you. Respond with whatever info you can provide and the team will help you!

I can assure you that I recieved no such email. They may have sent it, but I sure never recieved it.

I take it that’s it then? I need to submit ANOTHER ticket?

No. You need to check your email now, since you JUST were sent one.

We are sending these out. If you’re not getting them, then please check Junk, Spam, whatever filter you may have in place. I promise you that thousands of people a day get our emails, and that they are being sent to you.

I now have been waiting for over 2 hours for a single reply after I recieved a message saying:

“I am escalating your ticket for further assistance. Once your ticket has been reviewed, someone will be in contact with you as soon as possible.”

This is also after having to deal with TWO different Customer Service Reps. Is there any way that I can request that you actually call me so that I can get this straightened out? Preferably in less than a month’s time?

Upset Customer is my brother, and I’ve been waiting for him to get back online now for over 6 months, to the point of which he had to buy a brand new account after he got back from his deployment, because his old account got blacklisted. I don’t even know what your all’s definition of ‘blacklisted’ means to you, or WHY his account got blacklisted.

All I know, is that all of his stuff that he worked for, his money and all that…stuff, is on his original account that he can’t get access to. It seems like such a simple fix to me, and don’t understand why this is ending up so complicated or taking so long. I’m not trying to be insulting or mean, we’re just getting really impatient for a game that, is not pay to play, but we bought it to play it. And it’s 10 times better than !%#@ing WoW.

Please just get this resolved so we can go back to bein stupid online.

I think your expectation are unrealistic, and I ask that you be patient. You have an issue and the team is dedicated to solving these issues. But we cannot offer more than 3 million customer instant responses, and taking a few hours is completely reasonable for issues of this sort. (And you’re welcome about the email — I don’t know why you didn’t get the earlier one, but obviously things are on track now. Phew!)

The team will help you, but please give them a chance to review the issue, possibly discuss the situation and dig down into finding out what’s going on.

I am sorry that your brother is having this issue. I’m particularly sorry because I am fully in support of anyone who serves his or her country, and that’s why I jumped into the ticket last night. I assure you, this issue is not of our making. I cannot say why the account was blacklisted — whether it was purchased from a scammer who sold a fake code, whether it was hacked — I just don’t know that yet.

We’ll take care of your brother as soon as possible, and we thank you both for being patient as we get this settled.
