I was excited when I saw a new post in this thread started by Calibretto, then to see it's just spam. Thought he was back for a hot second. 😭

I remember you, and you built a place named Ruined Abbey.Hope to see you soon.

Yes, and I hope to recreate it by memory! Hope to see you in game soon!

You can get your old number back...

Alas, I tried but they told me it was deleted and no possibility of retrieving it per their TOS. 😔

I started a new one and will have to add contacts as I go. 😐

Feel free to add me! @Guinness (624190885)

That's a pity, they must have a time frame between making a person update ICQ and deleting their account altogether. I had come back to UO and had been using my original ICQ account when it happened to me so managed to retrieve it after going through their hoops.

The good thing about getting your old account back is that you have your old list of contacts. The bad thing about getting your old account back is that when adding someone new to your list you have to enter a phone number for them (I believe they make us update to the newest ICQ version, at least that's my experience) which I'm not comfortable asking for, so people have to add me rather than me add them. Are you able to add to your list without asking for phone numbers? If so, mine is 9-626-593 (Elaine)

Old versions of ICQ are much better and less invasive than the newer ones.

I was able to add you by putting your ICQ number in the search bar, not by using "add contact" (which asks for phone number or nickname).

Maybe they made a change? Not sure, I can only test the new version. Thanks again for the help!

I have that number but says [deleted] for some reason, no name to it, just a pic of two doggies.

That's me for sure! Though I'm not sure whey they deleted it. When I try to access it it says "password cannot be recovered."

Is there a list of ICQ numbers on this forum that I can add to a new account?

Were you in GIL or CWS?

I was in GIL. I remember you, I have an old guild list with your name on it, lol. I even have my chest from when I graduated NEW—it was in my bank box, thankfully.

Actual name in game is Gui'ness on my main.

Edit: if you search the forums for "Guiness" (I had dropped one "n" to match my game tag closer) you will find some of my old posts. My old profile was deleted and I started a new one now.

While I wait forever for the client to load...here's a pic dated 3/26/2011. Does anyone recall the date we moved Gilfane from Malas to Skara? This, obviously is sometime after the move.

Hi Creeger and thank you for the welcome!

Are there any older players that may still have my old ICQ name or number? I was not successful in my guessing.

Also, what chat tool are most using these days?

Hello old friends. I have an itch to enter the lands once again. This time I'd be bringing my son along, who is 15 now and remembers me playing when he was younger and always wanted to join me.

The first challenge is accessing my old accounts, which I will try to accomplish tomorrow afternoon. Next, will be for us to find a room to board in while we get acclimated to the game.

What else do I need to know? Hope to talk with you all soon!
