Hello!

I downloaded this with extreme excitement but because of work related issues I couldn't play for some time, and now that I've returned I can't remember my information to log on :shock:

Is there any way I can get my information from a GM? I can provide you my character name/spec/rough level/any information you require.. I really want to play again but I can't remember my main info!

Side note: I have an alt horde account as well and I can remember that name, but not my main lol. Please help!!

You can find the list of account names in your WoW directory under /World of Warcraft/WTF/Account/

Thanks for the response Mimma!

I actually didn't know that they were stored like that, and that would work.. but back when I first made the account (around the end of may/beginning of june) I had a connection error and I had to delete the WTF folder. That's actually still buried in these forums, I just don't know how to link to it.

Anyways, what I'm saying is I don't have the WTF folder to check any longer :shock:

What about your recycle bin? The folder will still reside in there.

Also, if you have saved E-mail try looking back through that for a game account validation. That might be another avenue, especially if you use something like gmail which retains everything.

So you deleted your WTF folder and then never logged in again? Sounds really fishy.

Anyway, the GMs will not give out account information.

I agree with Tinkertown.

When you log back in the WTF is back. Or are you saying that right after you made the account you never logged back in? If that's the case then just create a new account.

Yeah I can't find a WTF folder in my wow classic directory anywhere. I logged on plenty after that, but I can't find the folder anywhere. Well I guess they don't give out any account info anyway so it's either I remember or RIP 33ish nelf warrior named Maxmax </3 :|

I would download notepad ++ and scan that entire classic folder for Maxmax and see what results come back.
