Thanks, it is the Planeshift account email I wanted to change and not the forum one. I was afraid that if I forgot my password (as I had this time) and I could no longer have access to that email I would lose my player. However, upon logging for the first time in a couple of years my player was deleted so I guess I might as well create a new account since I lost all my hard worked for artifacts and all my gold :-(.

I understand that it has to be a unique identifier (I am a developer) but usually you use a non-business key (e.g. GUID) in DBs these days so that you can change the data (e.g. email) and mark the unique data as unique (e.g. email) s you don't get duplicates.

I guess the devs have other more important things to worry about, although IMO it should be fixed one day.

Thanks everyone!
