Yeah well people said you couldn't clone humans and looks what Clonaid did...

If you don't want to buy another full set of software, you might not like this option either, but...

Sony now transfers characters from one account to another, providing the account information is the same. You could transfer the SK from the old account to the new one, then cancel the old account.

Catch is, they will charge you fifty bucks. But that might still be cheaper than buying all the expansions again. You'd have to comparison shop.

I hope you are being sarcastic but I honestly don't think you are.

You are just another sad lemming that is fooled by whatever the liberal media shits out.

Clonaid did as much human cloning as Afterlife did new PoP encounters without inside information.

And BTW, SKs suck, make a beastlord or something.

Um it was a joke man...

See I was making the analogy that Sony says they have great customer service, when we all know they don't and Clonaid said they made another human when we all know they didn't.

While it expensive, the most direct route may be to do a character transfer from the Old account to the new account.

Not too long ago I had a similar problem.

Call SOE CS and explain to them what happened. Tell them you put the expansions on a new account by accident instead of on your old account. They were able to look at both accounts and confirm that I was telling the truth.

It took 3 days but after sending an email to the CS rep, who fowarded it to his boss, they sent me new CD keys.

I was given new CD keys for SoL and PoP to put on to the "old account." This is what I would recommend you do. Call them and explain what happened, and they may be willing to do the same for you.

Tell them to ban your one account that you put the CD keys into accidentally and then send you new keys.

Rhavenn · 01-17-2003, 04:37 PM

Return the copy you bought to the retailer you bought it from. Tell them that the CD-key was already in use and you just want another copy. Normally retailers don't let you do that with online games but recently thats changed (well, at least at EBGames and GameStop from what I've seen). As long as the account key is still there they'll give you a new copy and send the old one back to Sony. Sony then deactives the account, of course, to prevent people from buying 1 copy of the game and retuning it to get free accounts.

Its worth a shot.

I seem to remember them deleting all level 1-5 characters that had been inactive more than 6 months a couple years ago....was soon after I started playing, so don't quote me there.

But yeah, in general, it would cost them more to pay someone to write the code (and QC it and double check its output, and deal with anyone who accidently got deleted) to delete the old characters than to drop a few hundred bucks and buy another couple hundred GB to throw into the array.
