I have it on my games registration, even have the icon so what gives.

[Jesse Reid]

That icon is not registering the game, you are only linking to a character profile. Technically you could link to anyone's character with that.

Do you use this account you are currently logged in with to play ME3?

The question still stands as to why you made a new account to change your name.

[HollyBear66]

I had a very old username not relating to the gamer tag I run with these days.
I created a recent new account to line everything up (though I now understand that you CAN change the name at least once - d'oh).

 

I practical terms it doesn't really matter.

 

I could go back and rename the old account but it might tell me the new name is taken.

Or I just wait until DA:I releases and 'officially' connect that account.

[SofaJockey]

That's right. 
If I get this correct, registering a game you bought gets you a deeper level of access rights compared to just creating a profile.
This is the old account I had connected to previous games and this one I suspect WILL allow my to create a thread.

 

EDIT:

 

Just tested it - yes this profile (previously connected to a game purchase) DOES allow thread posting.
The new account above does not.

 

The next question is how to connect legitimate 'old' game registrations to a new account.

 

If BioWare can do some tidying up, it must be possible for BSNers to tidy up too :-)

(would that now be TBFers (cough) )

[HollyBear66]

Tested it. The registration comes from the game being connected to a particular login - that is what reconciles against the BioWare Forum.

So to create threads you need to register a game. 

Good that a new one is coming along at some point soon :-)

If you wish to change your forum name there is an option to do that (every few months) if that is why you created a new account.
