Email confirmation - new user

Postby DamageInc » Wed Apr 13, 2016 7:32 pm

Not sure if this is common problem but my Windows Live email account wouldn't receive the email confirmation that was sent during registry, I checked my junk folder regularly and tried to figure out if i could change my spam settings but to no avail. I waited over night before searching the forums and reading that other people had the same problem when registering. I proceeded to resend the Confirmation then change browsers all while constantly refreshing my junk folder. It wasn't until I decided to try my gmail account and 'boom' got the email within seconds. This was quite a frustrating process as I was pretty excited to play the game so maybe a more indepth section in the FAQ about this issue and the steps you can take to correct it might be helpful for new users. Apart from that I am looking forward to playing :D :D

I've heard similar accounts from hotmail users. Not sure what we can do about it, tbt.
