IGN will be moving to a brand spanking new registration system. Im sure this news will not be met with as much enthusiasm as the engineers. But ultimately its a good thing in the long run for us all. It will really streamline the IGN experience. And this next statement might ease the pain a bit, with the new system we will have the ability to change usernames. shock

Okay, all login pages around IGN now point to the same location http://my.ign.com/login

If you have logged in there before, you should be good to go. If you've never logged in via that page, you should be presented with a choice of username to associate with your account (email).

The cutoff date when we make the final switch is October 15, 2011. If you have not logged in via the My IGN login page by then, the system will pick your default username associated with your account. So go login and get that sorted out right away! You wont want to miss it.

Lastly, this only affects users with multiple profiles associated to their account. This will also not affect any new user registration.

If any new info comes, Ill be sure to let everyone know.

If you are having trouble with your account still or during/after going through the steps, you'll need to contact Customer Service via the IGN Support site. But feel free to ask any question here and Ill do my best to answer it.

addition info:

you cant have certain special chars in your login. if you cant log in, use the password reset to send it to your email acct and rest your pw w/o the special chars in it.

Your announcement brings up a old question of mind.

Some years ago (2007 to be exact), I changed ISPs .. in turned, gave up a old email address to go onto a new ISP email address. And in the process, lost my old login handle of just plain 'Roogon'. (No access to the old email address.)

Is there a possibility and a process that I can follow to attempt to recover my old handle?

Thanks
