Account issues; email support is inadequate
Posted: 08 Aug 2014, 14:39
Normally, I try to focus on the established support channels and not clutter a forum with a cry for help, but since there's now real admin activity happening here, I thought I might as well try.
On July 18, I found that I was unable to log into the Cyberstep website or forums with my usual account information.
I could still log into the game just fine (I had originally registered through the game client, back in closed beta).
I went through the Password Re-issue process, and entered my email address.
I received the password reset email, with an activation link.
I followed the directions and clicked on the activation link, and was taken to a page where I was asked to log in with the new temporary password given to me in the email.
The login attempt failed (Incorrect user ID or password).
I went through the password reissue request a second time, got a new email, and repeated the process.
Still unable to log in and activate.
On July 19th, I tried again. Same as above.
On July 20th, I tried again. Same as above.
On July 22, I tried again. Same as above.
Since I was unable to log in to my account here on the website, I created a new account (from which I am now posting) in order to continue to use the forums. I also finally decided to contact support through the Cyberstep website, and I submitted a ticket, explaining the problem.
A week later, I received this response from support:
I have been busy with work and didn't see the email for another week after it had arrived.
I tried again to request a password reissue from the website, in order to once more try and follow their suggested directions.
This time (on August 7), when I entered my email address into the user ID box and then entered the CAPTCHA code, it told me Account Not Found.
That was new.
Then I went to try to log into the game client, and I got the same message there.
I wrote back to support explaining what I had now experienced, asking for confirmation on the status of my account.
I don't want to wait another week for a reply.
Is it possible for any forum admin to investigate the status of my original Cyberstep account, which is also my game account?
I was not given a ticket number for my support case, but I can reveal my account id/email address via PM to an admin if there's anything you think you can do to help investigate.
Thank you.
