the one ive had since july 2002 ..

with 7 registered games ..

how come i cannot use that account to post here ..

its still bioware ..

doesnt make sense why we would have to scrap old and make new to post here ..

it even let me use the same email address and account name to register ..

so they are obviously completely unrelated ..

but they should be .. registration and accounts there should bleed over to this site ..

ugh ..

It's owned by EA and EA uses their own user name criteria for login accounts. For a time, the forums did allow for use of your BioWare accounts, but that was later changed.

There must've been a time limit.  I seem to have the same account both places, but I'd long, long ago lost track of my original old account, anyway (plain Gorath, then).

How does that explain how the old and new accounts are linked then?

Bioware is still bioware, but the BSN, you'll note has a pretty large EA logo on it. The old bioware accounts should be 'transferable.' Meaning that much of your data (including your displayed name if you wish) can pretty much be readily transferred to the new EA/BSN account. Still a couple of hoops to jump through, though overall, I would again remind anyone that while not pleasant, it's a damn sight better than simply having the plug pulled and the doors closed.



I am not a fan of the layout, the process, the overall 'useability' of the new boards, myself. That said, let's do what we can to make the best of it and we'll adjust sooner or later.

I've tried linking my old bioware account to this one, but it doesn't work. Oh well.
