So i wanted to say i have moods and stuff. So sometimes i play warlords of dreanor and sometimes i play vanilla wow.

Well i wanted to play vanilla wow again, and i forgot my user name. I tried to start a new account and it registered perfectly, but it still wouldn't log me in. The login screen says "unable to connect" So i logged into the new account and it tells me i had logged in with a IP of a computer "i assume it is this one i am on". I don't think i got hacked.

Anyways so i uninstalled vanilla wow and deleted the folder and reinstalled it. Unfortunately it still won't let me log in. And i barely read the forum post at the top and it's links saying i could find my user name in the character folder on my wow folder.

But i already deleted the old wow and it's folder.

I know i can only have 3 accounts linked to my ip on my computer i think this will be my 3rd account i have.

Can anybody help me ? i want to try and log in and play.

If you've already uninstalled/deleted the WoW folders on your computer, your first account is probably lost since I don't think the staff assists with recovery of lost accounts. You can try to reset the password using the reset link on the website, but you have to know the account name and e-mail address is was registered with.

For your newer accounts, a successful login to the website would indicate your account was successfully registered and you shouldn't have a problem logging into the game with it. Is the password for your account really long? I've known passwords longer than 16 characters to be problematic but a recent post by GM tigru suggests passwords longer than 12 characters can also cause problems.

Well i wanted to start a new account anyways with the PvE server coming. I don't know if the pve server is up, so maybe i should wait to log in.

Register wise, i followed the password rules and made it no longer than 11 symbols, and i know the username to my new account and email and password. I logged into my new account and says i last logged in from an ip, which is fine should be this computer.

But when i try to log into wow it says unable to connect. I hope i wasn't IP banned or something.
