Hi there,
I have an old account that I played on many years ago, and was hoping to reactivate. Long story short, my original UO account was hacked a long time ago, and I subsequently quit the game. Well, the drug that is UO reeled me back in, but not wanting to start over on a new account with no vet status, I purchased a few year old account off of ebay. I played on this account for many years (I'm guessing from ~2005ish to 2014ish, on and off) with no issues.
I now have a daughter who has been wanting to play a video game with me, so I thought UO would be a fun way to spend some time together. I cannot remember my old UO password, so through email I tried verifying ownership. I believe I supplied most of the correct answers to what I was asked, but I cannot verify the original owner's name or DOB. I got a quick email back saying that they cannot verify I'm the owner and that was that. I mentioned in my email that I had purchased the account many years ago, and I have to imagine changes of IP logins, change in account payment, etc. all have to verify my story of having purchased the account. I also know various things about the account that one would be unlikely to know without having owned it. Just to make absolutely sure I had the login name right, I searched my emails and found an email from myself to someone at EA dated back to 2007 where I mentioned my login name, so I am 100% certain I have the right account.
Is there anything else I can do at this point, or am I out of luck without the owner's name and DOB? Probably dramatic, but I feel like a part of my childhood died when I got that email saying they couldn't verify me as the owner
Appreciate any advice
