Hello sir and/or madame,
I am a little bit frustrated as I am trying to recover my account information/change it but it keeps telling me an error has occured and I need to contact support however since I have no acces to my account name (it tells me pmeister.3041 and pmeister is incorrect) I cannot send a ticket. Also for some reason the same e-mail I have linked to my account here (my only email address) will also not be accepted on my ticket. please help as I have no other means of contacting you

To contact CS, go to the Top of the Page – Services/Support – Submit a Request.

Your Account Name is the email you associated with your Game Account, found at the top of this page under your Display Name and above mail/Forum Profile/My Account/Logout.
Your Display Name is pmeister.3014

You can leave any of the fields in the webform blank, if you don’t know the information, but you must choose a category for both the drop-down menu selections.

Good luck.

Thank you so much I probably wouldn’t have been able to solve this otherwise

Well don’t I feel like an idiot.

To be honest, whomever decided to call an email address an Account Name needs to take some blame for this….

I get for security reasons NOT calling it an email address is a good idea, but still….

Well, to be fair, when creating a Support Ticket, it specifically asks for your email address, and shows in parentheses (Account Name).

It also gives an example of what a Display Name is, so….

Ticket submission isn’t that confusing. Other areas, well….maybe not so much. I don’t know.

I agree it is a little confusing. But adding the explanatory bit, like (e-mail address) has helped make it clearer.

Account Name: Your e-mail address with which you log in to the game
Display Name: The name that is shown in the game, such as Gamer.1234. Display Names always have four random numbers after them.
Character Name: The name given any of the characters on a particular account.
