I have had a main account for a long time. the last time i played on the account was in 2023. but when i try logging in today it seems to have vanished. whenever i send the email to forgot username i recive nothing same thing with forgot password, i have submitted a ticket and tried to get my friends to look on riot and look on there friends list and im just gone. what can i more can i try to do while waiting for riot support.
2023 is the year they made riot accounts mandatory. If you didn't log into a riot game from then to now and change your account into a riot account then chances are likely your account is gone to the aether.
See if the username is available or that someone else has it. I know Riot recycles them ... but I thought it was 3 years inactivity.
I just tried making a new account with the same username but the return i get is
"This username is already taken by an account in another region.". so now im thinking it mightve been compromised and someone changed all account details
I'll bet Riot made it available due to inactivity. Sorry ... they do say 3 years, but ....................
Usernames are different than your in-game name. Your in-game name can become available for others after a long time of inactivity. Your username can not (what you use to login with your password). Their account got compromised and the hacker probably changed the email and transferred the account to another region.
