Swapping account ids

Mon Jun 09, 2003 4:55 am by AllGunsBlazing

Hey, I uninstalled and reinstalled freelancer (long story). I had a lot of good multiplayer characters, so I wanted to put in my new account. I still had my own server, so I opened it up and looked at accounts. I found my account, and copied the account no into the "Create new account no" thing that pops up first time you go multiplayer. The problem is, it says it's not a valid multiplayer ID. Does anybody know how to fix that?

I've done this and seen and heard others do this a dozen times or more. Never heard of it not accepting acct id. Unless they're typed in incorrectly of course.

One small piece of advice. The account id is a hexadecimal string. Which means that those characters that look like they might me "L"'s, or "I"'s are in fact "1"'s. if you know what i mean.

Sorry i can't be of more help.

It worked out fine, somehow. I just told it to install the ID that it wanted, went back onto my favorite server and found my character waiting for me. Just goes to show that if you wait long enough all your problems go away on their own.
