I started a new account since I started a new RuneScape account, and I can't access it. I joined today and received the validation email. I clicked the link and signed in, and was told that everything was ready. I came back a few hours later and could not log in. I went back to the email and tried to re-validate the account with both codes (the log in link, and the user/validation key link) and was told that the validation key could not be found. I tried to recover my password, but got an "Unknown Account" message. I searched my new name on the members list (Wretched_Cat), and it was there. So I have no idea what to do.

 

Any ideas? Thanks!

When you signed up you were asked to create both a display name and a login name. Wretched_Cat is your display name, it's not the name you need to use on the login form (I've just checked and your login and display names are different). :)

Hmm, that's odd. I thought I had made the same display and Log In name. Off to check what my actual name is! :D

Just a quick note. You don't have to create a new Tip.it account if you make a new RuneScape account. If you really want to, you can just change your display name and your profile information to your new RS account. (Keep in mind, your login details will remain the same.)

 

It's entirely your choice of course, but this might save you the effort of making a new account. :)

Hmm, I can't seem to find my Log In name. I was sure I use Wretched_Cat for both. I'll keep looking, for now.

thanks Killer, I hadn't actually thought of that. :D If I can't find my Log In name for Wretched, I'll just do that.

AHA! I was sure that I had mad the names the same. Oh well, I have it now!
