Okay, so last night I found a rw account name that wasn't taken. It was pretty epic in my opinion. For obv reasons I won't post it on here. So, naturally I decided to create the account. I got to the part where I had to enter an email, which I had readily available, one that I have used for one other side (still active, not frozen or any warnings, etc), but it kept saying there was an email error. I know for a fact there is only one other account connected to it, so there's no reason it shouldn't have gone. So I tried a different email anyway, and same thing. I noticed then on the address bar that it said something about a cookie check, so I went through, cleared my cookies, history, etc, figuring there was a chance that maybe it realized there were a few accounts cookies saved on my computer, too many to create a new account or something. So after that cleared out, I went to go make the account, and it would not accept the user name I previously submitted, saying that it was not available, yet there was still no account in existence to that name. Figuring that maybe it was borderline for the filters because of what that word represented, I decided the filters caught the name and decided to not let me use it to make an account. I then decided to give up and go to bed. This morning I was just curious about it, and as it turns out, the account IS in existence, created as of today's date, no name. Now I have no idea if it's mine or not, and I can't get in no matter what pw I use. So I am lost. Did someone just happen to create the account with the same name at the same time as me? @__@ I am so lost.
A possibility is that you are IP banned, so I think you can't create accounts, and then this morning someone just happened to make the same one. Either that, or you successfully created an account, but Neopets is fucked up .
I had the same problem on an e-mail I never used for any accounts. I had not made a Neopets account for a very long time. I said that maybe Neopets was having problems. I haven't tried to do it again but I will now. I think Neopets is having some problems with that.
Lightning - I def. am not IP banned, since I can log in and out of all my other accounts. I've been waiting out the possibility that someone else made the account, since it IS a rw and that is a possibility, though very coincidental. I am sure I would know for sure once that account has made a pet or show some kind of activity. I might have to go with the idea it's mine if after a week or so there's no sign of any activity what so ever. Tristen - how long ago was that??
Did you try recovering pswd? Maye there was a glitch when trying to create the account and created some time later
i thought it was the proxy i was using causing me the same troubles last night but I guess not ... prolly a neopets glitch
A-ha! Well it HAS to be mine, because it glitched out, because I did the pw send thing like suggested, and I got this: Oops! Sorry, but there is no email address for this account. This may be because you cleared the email in your preferences or when you originally signed up we did not save your email address. Time to start making a list of pws, since I forgot to write it down because of this glitch thing D: Thanks all for your help/suggestions! Edit: GAHH I am going insane I can't figure out my own pw. I know that sounds stupid/fishy but I've tried every combination I can imagine I'd use D: Unless on sign up I made a typo. I feel so stupid. @_@
lol yes very bad luck @__@ I have to admit I am a bit afraid to message TNT 'cause as it stands I have a decent amount of accounts linked to my ip, though I honestly have been doing things mostly legit, save for buying some nps and a couple accounts. I am definitely afraid of getting an unfavorable answer. That, and I don't want to bring attention to the account name, considering I think tnt might think its in the grey area for appropriateness. Would it be possible I would get ip banned from trying to gain access to that account (ie. password guessing)? I've already had a hold on that account for an hour for too many failed attempts. Though I know I have to be close, 'cause I don't have an indefinite list of passes @_@
