Switching accounts using DL'ed version?

**WhiskeySix** · 10-23-2006, 06:08 PM

Auh man.... I have a problem: I have two EA Accounts, "WhiskeySixTG" and "TG12thWhiskeySix". Back when the veteran name reservation thing was under way, I reserved my BF2 soldier name "WhiskeySix" using the "TG12thWhiskeySix" account. Unfortunately, when I purchased and downloaded 2142, I was logged into EA Downloader with my other account "WhiskeySixTG".

This means I can't use my reserved name!!!

When I log-in with one, the soldier name comes up as reserved. When I login with the other, it says the CD-Key is associated with another account.

So - anyone know how I can get around this? Can I "unreserve" my name on the first account and then use it on the second? Or can you switch which account the CD-Key is associated with or something? Is this the same problem if you had the CD?

As I understand you can't login with your TG12thWhiskeySix account? I'd contact EA and ask them to delete WhiskeySix and show proof that you own the account.
