    Did this as soon as the reward became available, but I still can't forgive you guys for making me change my forum handle. Your forum handle should be the same as your "@, but different from your login (for security reasons), not this mess (a @ handle, a forum" handle and a "log in" handle that are all different). I wish there was a way to sort this out, I do not like disorder and this is pure chaos.

    What ever happened to linking our in-game display names to our forum name? I'm not happy at all that you are going to thrust this on us who haven't merged account without any resolution to the issue.

    The free gift is pretty mediocre, so it's not a big deal, but those of us who started playing in F2P/Season 5 or later can't get this, as our accounts were PWE from the beginning, correct?

    ?

    I did this on the day the promotion started too, and was able to get the same forum handle as my in-game @handle. The instructions seemed clear enough to me...

    EDIT: well, I guess not entirely the same... this forum handle has no capital letters.

    Didn't let me keep mine, hence the trhrangerxml vs RangerXML.

    When will our @handles in-game be changed also? As much as Crytpic/PWE said we'd never be forced to merge accounts. Here we are! I'm sure the ladder is coming sooner than later also.

    I've already linked my account, but for the benefit of those who haven't...

    When will linking become non-optional?

    And what benefits, if any, will we see once everyone is linked? Will it permit any enhanced functionality over what we have currently? (New Web/Forum features? Not having to retype the name when we log out and log back in?)

    I still have the same in-game handle I had when I was a subscriber.

    The linking forces you to have an account name that's different from your display name. If you make your account name the same as your old handle, then it makes you change your display name.

    I did it the other way around. Got a new account name and kept my display name.

    Is this why the Free to Play forum has been nuked?

    Is it going to become "non-optional" before or after you fix the login issue for those that had the game remember their username?

    I tried linking my accounts and it either didnt work or i already did it long ago, either way i carnt tell if they are linked or if ive had the reward or not.
    I look on the ingame store for the reward and its not listed at all, usually it says if youve had the reward or not but in this case the reward is not even listed in the items area.
    Looks like no 5k dil for me which i could really use.

    No, the Free to Play Q&A forum was "dropped" because it was causing confusion for new players who had game-related questions that should have been posted in the Academy forum or elsewhere.

    Any F2P related questions can still be posted in the Academy or in General Community Feedback.
