cant login into the game
When logging in, use your Account Name (email address associated with the game account) and your password (chosen at registration).
A common reason for ‘encountered an error’ is using your Display Name (maria.6741).
Good luck.
it seems by typing the account name and password wont work, even the display name
It’s the exact same thing you are using to log into the forums. You can check your password in your browser’s tools, if you have saved it there, just to be sure.
Game Log-in: Account Name (email address) and Password.
If you continue to have issues, you can contact CS at the Top of Page – Services/Support – Submit a Request.
Good luck.
I’m having similar problems as well. After downloading the game following the purchase, I couldn’t log in as the client wouldn’t recognize the password. I eventually changed it after getting help from tech support, but the client still won’t recognize it.
I’m looking into this issue now.
I have started password reset flows for both of you. Please reset your password. You should be able to get into the game after doing so.
If anyone else is having this problem with brand new accounts, please reply here so I can look into the issue.
After resetting the password, I’m still unable to log in. “The Password you entered is invalid. Please check your information and try again.”
I am having the same problem accepted I am an old user of the game.
Never mind I used my email address instead of my account name and now I’m in
After resetting the password, I’m still unable to log in. “The Password you entered is invalid. Please check your information and try again.”
Make sure you are using your Account Name (email address associated with your game account) to log in rather than your Display Name (XXX.1234).
Good luck.
Well, this time my answer was this:
“Validate Your E-mail Address
Your email address has not been validated. This important security measure will help us protect your account against hacking attempts as well as help us contact you in case you need to recover your account."
After sending the validation email, I finally got accepted.
I’m refreshing this thread to ask if anyone posting here is continuing to have problems getting into the game.
Please let us know if you are not able to log in, after using your Account Name (e-mail address) and your password. (This would be the same credentials used to log into this forum.)
Thanks.

I am also having this issue, have submitted a support ticket. (I was already logged in to the forums.)
Just posting here to add a report to the chorus.
Aaaand… I was able to change my PW using my browser’s autologin on the forums, rather than using the Recover Account link. So problem solved.
