Account registration doesn't work

Post by Estralis Seborian »

From an external forum:
Pretty sure your login system isn't working.

I tried regisering under two different email accounts. On One of them I got
am email with a link to click to complete registration - but when I click it
it took me back to trying to make a new account. On the other email address
I received no email. One email address was a hotmail one, other was one
registered under my own name. Trying to recover password on either just
says it's invalid email address.

If new players can't sign up then pretty obviously you're gonna have a low
level of activity. Unfortunate as the game looked interesting from what I
could see from the information publically available.

Are there still issues with registration?
My friend is trying to sign up but is only getting the "Register failed" message. He has tried the differet browsers (IE/Chrome/Firefox) but with the same results.
Thankful for any help.

Yes, there are plenty problems with registration. A new account registration process is on its way, but it won't be released any time soon. Stuff that causes problems:

-Trying to register with an email or user name that is already in use
-Emails like someone@something.co.uk
-Emails like some_one@something.com or someone@some_thing.com (underscore)
-Trying to re-register an account that is already registered but not activated. The activation email is commonly considered spam and sometimes, automatically deleted so it never reaches you

All in all - it is best to contact a gamemaster, naming the desired username and the email and most probably, any GM can solve the problem in a minute.
