My old warcraft III battlenet account (Sondrey) apparently got deleted due to inactivity. When I try to create a new one with the same name I get this error message: “The specified account name contains invalid words. (3.31)”.
I have submitted a ticket on the issue and been in contact with a GM who was unable to help resolve it, but said I could try here.
I have found very little information on the issue except for these 2 previous threads from 2017: https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/sc2/topic/17616653311
In addition I have done some testing, and it seems like no matter what account name you chose, as long as it ends in “rey”, it will get the same error message.
I can confirm that the name is not taken, as if it was, you would get a different error message; “The specified account name is already used. Please select another. (3.12)”.
One of the reasons I want my old account name is because I have a lot of experience/lvls tied to it. I have played a lot of You TD (among other games) and there you get a save code after every game which you can then load at the start of a new game, thus accumulating experience and gaining lvls. These codes however, are tied to your account name, so they cannot be used by others.
I’m hoping someone here can assist in sheding some light on the issue and hopefully help resolve it.
Best regards,
Sondrey
