When I try and login to my Bioware account, It says I am trying to use an EA account. I used the same Email account for both registers but I would deffinitely prefer to use my Bioware account. The Username for the account (If it is needed) is Kaz'neva vas Bree, I hope someone can help me find out what is going on here... I am confused...

I'll start over,
I was trying to sign up for a Bioware account, in order to do that I had to make an EA account (I already had one I never use) Once I finished making My Bioware account, which took a godawful long time due to Yahoo being fail, I came to the forums, clicked on one then noticed I had been logged out. I went to log in, Typing my Email and password, and it said that I was using an EA account instead of a Bioware one (Making me choose a different account name and picture.
I quite enjoyed my other picture and name, and would like to know how to get my other account to work. (It has been activated and all that as well.)

You mean to say you have two distinct BioWare accounts on one EA account? That should not be possible (God knows people have tried!).
Is it correct that you did not reuse the old EA account but instead registered a new BioWare account via the no-EA account option? And when you are logging into this account, is it with the e-mail address/password combination that is supposed to be tied to the other account?

No, That is not what I am saying, though it seems to be it. What is happening is that, right now, I am on an account that I logged into with (What it told me) was only an EA account login Info. Set. It would not let me log in to my Bioware account, which uses the same Account Info.

Each unique BioWare account is a front-end for a single unique EA account. If you have managed to register two BioWare accounts you should likewise have two EA accounts. For now you can only login with the e-mail address/password combination you also use to access that same EA profile. Are you sure you're using the correct e-mail address?
I'll probably head to bed soon but I'll be back in the morning.

Not suprisingly this may be stupidity on my part... DO YOU, In fact, use a Bioware account to log into thses forums? I just clicked the "Forgot Password" Button to see if maybe I had used a different password, but it took me to the EA screen. If that is the case then I AM sorry for wasting your time on the forums, you probably have more interesting things to do then try to overcome a newb's short sightings...

Not anymore, no. You used to be able to login with BioWare username/password but that option was recently disabled so only EA (and by extension, BioWare) account e-mail address/password is allowed.Something Squishy wrote...

Hmmm, That upsets me a little, I liked my other username and it wouldn't let me re-use it... *Sigh*
Thank you for the help Stranger!

So, to clarify, have you only ever used one e-mail address on this site? Was the other account here or on the legacy site (where e.g. NWN's fora are still hosted)?

I have no Idea, The problem (As I see it now) Was that you are not logging on via Bioware Account as I had thought, You are using the EA account... Which is why I couldn't use my Bioware account to Log in...

But that BioWare account should still have an e-mail address tied to it, and it should be different from the one tied to your current account.

Hmmm, odd... very odd indeed... But they are the same Email, used for both Bioware Login Info and EA Login Info seperately...

Go to the EA profile page and login with the e-mail address/password you use to login to this account, then tell me if any of the "personas" there seem to be of relevance to your issue.
And now I'm really going to bed. =)
