Yes, you would need the game time to run out then wait 4 months.If I payed it would then take 4 months of no use to turn EJ?
3 or 4 years ago? I also had old trial accounts. Under the Features tab, they were flagged "Trial Account". Only "Retail Accounts" convert to EJ. Have been occasionally paying them for a month to get them to convert. The upside is you can create full roster of characters to have available once it goes EJ.When did EJ start?
I had a trial account just before EJ started and I've tried to use it as an EJ account but I get the same message when trying to login.
The only accounts I have been able to use on EJ are one's I paid for before it started and one's I've created since.

Correct. The alternative is to contact support as Petra suggested and hope they can fix it.If I payed it would then take 4 months of no use to turn EJ?
Features say the normal stuff:

Yes. I looked into that flag on other accounts. All the others have a Flag: "account type"Correct. The alternative is to contact support as Petra suggested and hope they can fix it.
Those are the only flags it has? If it's not flagged "Retail Account", that's probably why it hasn't gone EJ.
All of my old trial accounts now say: "Flag: Retail This is a retail account".Does anyone happen to have an account that was closed recently but not long enough to go to EJ?
If so, what Flag "account type" does it have if any?
I bet you could look at what was going on in-game at that time and figure out why you would have opened it and maybe even jog your memory about it! February 4 - made for Valentine's Day?This one was opened somehow, never paid for I am assuming as it has no features at all and not gone EJ ever

Unless your account is using the European date format (unlike mine), that looks like it was created on December 5 2018.View attachment 150923
This account was unbanned August 18. It has been enough time to turn it into an EJ account again.
How do I do it?
Yes it is an old account that was a paid account until the owner quit playing. They gave me the master account which has a paid account and this account they were using as EJ until banned. It was unbanned on Aug 18th 2023.Unless your account is using the European date format (unlike mine), that looks like it was created on December 5 2018.
I actually think it was one of those return to brit promotions.I bet you could look at what was going on in-game at that time and figure out why you would have opened it and maybe even jog your memory about it! February 4 - made for Valentine's Day?
I might've had a little too much Mt Dew this morning - I swore you were trying to say the account was unbanned in August of the same year it was created in December!Yes it is an old account that was a paid account until the owner quit playing.

Thanks both of you. @Larisa
The account is missing the Flag: Retail account so the system is confused about it I guess.
Ill wait 72 hours and email UO again.
Since I have never used an EJ account, I have learned a lot of new things from this thread. Thanks
Not quite, you can only log in one EJ at a time to a particular shard. You can log in more, if they're on different shards.Didn't they change the EJ accounts so that you can only have one, and if you already have an EJ account then that would block blocks you from having another.
Curious I had started up my account to do event (which was extremely disappointing), but figured I would switch it to EJ since time ran out and didn't wish to renew. However it will not allow me to do so. Is there a time limit, like it has to be a closed for so long before being able to go to EJ?Not quite, you can only log in one EJ at a time to a particular shard.

Have to wait 4 months after last paid day.Curious I had started up my account to do event (which was extremely disappointing), but figured I would switch it to EJ since time ran out and didn't wish to renew.

It's 4 months to make sure no free house, right?Have to wait 4 months after last paid day.
It will then go auto EJ.
Can't just turn a paid account into EJ.
Even tho my account in question was EJ. The un ban Email mentioned it had to stay idle before it would turn into EJ.
Maybe why they made it 4 months? Seems like its a long time to me. Or if you were one of those who cancel and re pay to hold a house, if it were 2 months would your house go poof when you turned EJ?It's 4 months to make sure no free house, right?
It's 90 days after your account subscription expires. Payment date is not a factor.It's 4 months to make sure no free house, right?
After one year you should be able to get it reinstated. That's what I did with this one. But depends on what you did also.if the account was on EJ when it caught a ban it will be gone forever.
i had that happen to me.
only paid accounts get reversible ban's, EJ accounts that catch a ban get perma-ban.
Probably because it actually started as an EJ account, so no need to convert. I've only had 1 account that I started as EJ, and that was before I grew curious about what all the things in the Features tab mean, so don't remember what it may or may not have had.
