So I read in another post that account usernames and pet names get put up for grabs after a year of inactivity. I used to play back in '07 and I recall accessing my old account maybe two or three years ago, but I can't find it anywhere. No one else claimed the username. Does it still exist somewhere, or was it completely wiped out?

I created this user upon rejoining a week ago, so if the other one exists somewhere, I did not intend to sign up a second time (since I recall that was a no-no).

They changed things around not too long ago. I believe around 2011-2012 is when they stopped completely wiping out accounts and started leaving them up for grabs and giving owners a chance to come back if they so pleased, cept if their username or pet names were taken they could change them.

I honestly, don't remember which email I signed up with and it is possible that the last time I logged on was before the new change and it got wiped. I was just bummed because I had a good friend on there and I can't seem to remember her name or anything. That and I had 10 beautiful pets, but I can always make new ones.

I guess it's a fresh start for me. Thanks for the answer.

you might be able to find out for sure if the account still exists somewhere by filing a Ticket. (I think it is unlikely, but worth a try) This will also help cover your ass if it counts toward the only-one-account thing.
