Hey guys, I wonder if you can help me. I've been pondering over changing my account for some time now, however after attempting to do so it states that I can't because of the fact I have previously created this account on my IP.

I spoke to an operator on LiveChat a few months ago and they mentioned using a proxy, although after trying over 15 they've all had 5+ members use them, meaning I get the same message but with differing usernames.

I merely want to change my account because I've been wanting to get more involved in Sythe's community, and also I simply don't like my name, although I'm fully aware name changes aren't available.

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

You will either have to keep trying to find a proxy that works, or use a different computer. You could try using http://proxy.org/ which has thousands of proxies to choose from, and one is bound to work. However the option I recommend the most is using a friend or family member's computer that doesn't have any interest in making a sythe account, that way you don't have to worry about proxies and being involved with a ban evader.

Thanks, although I thought it was IP based, which would mean all of my family's computers would have the same IP. I'm not highly computer literate so I may be missing something.

I'll have a look into that site, although for the reason you mentioned I don't particularly fancy getting involved with proxies if there's an easier way around it.

Thanks for your help.

It will take some time to find a working proxy, but there are some out there that will work. The only proxy I know that worked for one of my friends when he registered here was http://proxfree.com . And like x339 suggested, try using a friend/family's computer. And it's based on your computer's IP, not your network's IP.

And it's gonna be a big hit, sacrificing a Jan 2010 join date and 1.3K posts for a new account, but I wish you the best luck gaining that back. Hope to see you around the community with your new account.

By family member I mean like an aunt, uncle, cousin, grandma, etc. (one who doesn't live in the same household as you).

Well, I made this account on my laptop, and have recently purchased a desktop and it's still not letting me create a new account. :/ Thanks for your input though.

I'm not too worried about losing my posts/join date as I won't be trading on this new account, primarily here for the community more than anything so it won't be too bad on me.

Thanks again for the speedy replies, appreciate your support.

EDIT: @x339: Ahh, I see what you're saying. I guess that's what I'll do.

Cheers both of you!

Just keep searching, you'll find one eventually.

You need to use a vpn instead.
