Act fast and change your password. Someone on your account that's not supposed to on there can be kicked off of if you change the password and log-in to the game. Outspark doesn't allow anyone to change email addresses associated to the account so the "hacker" cannot take total control of it.

You are right. That must be recent since the last time I changed my password the option wasn't there and hasn't been available for a couple years now.


Well, scratch that about the permanent email address being a foil to hackers since that's not the case anymore.

The inability of a player to change their email address had the benefit in that it "foiled hackers", but it also prevented players from changing or even correcting their email address. When you change your email address two emails will be sent:
One to the current email address on file informing you that the email has been changed. If you made the change, do nothing.
One to the new email address confirming the change. The new email address MUST be verified before the change will go into effect; if it is not verified it will revert to the old address.

There are a multitude of reasons where a player may need or want to change their email address, and we want to ensure that they are able to do so in as secure a method as possible.

Hijacking threads for the win...
Here is a problem, when you don't log on to your hotmail e-mail for about 12 months, the e-mail is then deactivated and can not be used.
Trying to change the e-mail with the method you have given is pretty much void. No idea how this issue can be resolved. ;x

Answer to that is use a different e-mail provider if you don't plan on accessing email within that time frame.

Actually a simpler answer would be to reactive the account.

I'm a Hotmail user. I had one hotmail account where I didn't use if for like forever. It didn't get any e-mails because it was deactivated but I was able to login and reactivate it. Good as new.

And if you weren't able to reactivate it for some reason that might mean your account was deleted. Simply make a new one with the same existing name and you should be fine.

Uhhh
1. this account should be banned for violating the terms of service and "hacking"

2. It should also be reported to the government for being sentient and acting outside the volition of its user.

Skynet is alive, and the machines are rising.

Why they began with fiesta, I have NO IDEA
