WTF changing email also forces you to change your display name

Hello,

 

Following my previous post on account security I have decided to change my email address to lock it for 90 days. However to my surprise, after changing my email it forces me to pick a new display name, and I cant even use my old one as it was taken by my old email's name. Seriously NCSoft what is up with this nonsense?

Could you tell me how did you manage to change your email?

Just go to your account settings, and an option should be next to your email. (I think it's unavailable if your account is relatively new, or if you have already changed your email in the past 90 days.)

If you changed your mail you can still get your characters on it? Or it is a totally new acc and a new start?

This is a very old thread (2016) but to answer to the best of my ability, I doubt the account gets wiped. OP most likely kept his characters and all the rest.

This doesn't affect anything in-game so don't worry about it. It's just the way forums were set-up. On the back end we assign an email address to a forum account whenever you visit forums for the first time. When you change your NC Account email address, the forum goes like "I don't know that email address, so please create a new username". This problem should not occur anymore however, if it does please let us know!

I was asking support for an email change because of the 90 days system... and was locked due to mis understanding... now I can't even get a reply... this so frustrating when they already are bad and just locked you out and never reply for days... it's like WTF! and I am refering to game account...

I am sorry to hear that you got locked out of your Account :( In that case you will have to reach out to the Support Team by email (support@bladeandsoul.com). Requesting to change emails twice in a very short time frame can trigger a possible lock obviously since it's a unusual behaviour. The Support Team isn't locking accounts arbitrarily (they have a variety of tools at their disposal allowing them to take a decision), but to prevent a possible takeover by a third party.

Maybe this thread can be closed now? I mean, 2016 and all that. <.<

.. though I'm not the boss here. I'm just saying because of the whole necro and outdated info that may mislead and all that stuff forum mods usually try to avoid.
