tl;dr Google login stopped working, should be ok now I apologise in advance for all the acronyms... Facebook are also just about to switch off their Graph Api v1.x and move to Graph v2.x; which also necessitated a migration to our login system. Alas, with the current version of our backend server frameworks (based around ASP.NET MVC 4) this wasn't going to be an easy upgrade. So naturally we decided to take the even harder route and update our server framework to ASP.NET MVC 5.2.3 which did support OAuth 2.0. However, ASP.NET MVC 5 has a completely different user http://www.asp.net/identity/overview/getting-started/introduction-to-aspnet-identity" rel="nofollow - authentication, authorization and identity system and also has a different request pipeline based on pluggable http://coding.abel.nu/2014/05/whats-this-owin-stuff-about/" rel="nofollow - OWIN Components . While it is a much better system; to get it to work with our current data was a little more challenging than we first expected! To add to the fun Google’s new OAuth 2.0 login returns completely different user identifiers from their OpenID 2.0 one, so we also had to add a translation layer for that to allow existing players to continue to log in. Interesting (ish) bit Unfortunately; along the way, we have had to depreciate some of our lesser used alternative login methods (e.g. digg, livejournal, wordpress etc) but if you used these systems you should be able to request a password reset with the forgotten password link. We have also added Steam as a method of logging in/creating a new player. While this has all been an extremely major change on the server side; hopefully it’s passed by mostly uneventfully to you our players. However, please be on the lookout for pages that previously worked that no longer work or any other strangenesses and raise a petition. Bit at end If you have any login issues that can’t be resolved from a password reset please email community@illyriad.co.uk and we will try to sort them out for you. |

is there a way of switching the login method on an account? had been selecting facebook from the drop-down menu on Illy's login screen.... is there a way I can change the method and go with player name / password on an existing account that didn't need that before? |

You should be able to still do that?
You can use the forgotten password link with your email address on the account: http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/Account/ForgottenPassword" rel="nofollow - http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/Account/ForgottenPassword If you can login to the account in anyway you can also change your email address on your preferences page; and also set a password on the password page if you don't have one set yet. This post details some options: http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/windows-8-login-and-other-accounts_topic6059_post83866.html" rel="nofollow - http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/windows-8-login-and-other-accounts_topic6059_post83866.html which work for all account types (Google, Facebook, Microsoft, AOL, Yahoo, etc)

I am unable to log in. I used AOL to log in and now when I try to use the forgot password link it references an account I first looked at Illyraid in Feb. 2014. The account I actually started playing was registered in May 2014 using the same email address. The only comment I get is that I have no active account with this email account when I actually have two. Clyde3 and Trustee1. HELP |
