Isn't the game profile linked to the forum-acc? i mean, when you create an account, the forum account is created automaticaly? don't remember exactly, but i think so.... if that's the case... don't feed the troll =)

Niko once told me that forum account is created when you log in on the forum for the first time - so he could've been playing for a year without posting here. That's why forum users number is lower than what PGI claims is total registered accouts number.

Troll or not, I think the op's question is legit enough. Also, the contact support is a more than good enough answer. Personally, I would recommend sticking around to see if they implement a 1pv hardcore queue or not before giving up on MWO. It might be another 10 years before you get another chance at a mechwarrior type game.

Peace out!

You know ... it would be totally cool if PGI could actually track how many people are signing up ... and how many people install and play the game ... oh wait ...

It would be even cooler if the install game had access to the operating system and could read the MAC address of the ethernet card ... oh wait ...

It would be even cooler if PGI had some programming geeks around that could take that MAC Address, and associate it with the Account made on the web page ... oh wait ...

It would be way cool if PGI could actually see how many people created an account and didn't even install / play the game, but only just created the account thinking PGI was so stupid as to not be able to track this {Scrap} ... oh wait ...

So yea, some of the haters around here are REALLY stupid ... assuming they can just make accounts and PGI would have no way of linking that to a game install or of knowing *exactly* how many hours were played, and possibly how much time you were actually 3PV during those games.

Nothing to see here ... move along ...

Maybe this is the wrong place on the forums, I don't know, but as the title says; how do I terminate my account? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

The 3PV is it for me. I'm out. Just hope there will be another MechWarrior game around soon.

meanwhile at OP's house:

[Johnny Marek Summers]

Actually for another Mechwarrior game, isn't there Mechwarrior Tactics?

[Skunk Wolf]

Just don't play.

Simple.

Maybe in a couple of years this will be OK when the Mechwarrior licence gets bought by Wargaming.net.

I could see it happen within 6 months after launch.

no, it is not.

[TheCaptainJZ]

Also, no one has touched on this, but there are personal security reasons for wanting to terminate accounts you no longer intend to use. I mean, if you were on Facebook and wanted to delete your account, don't you want it completely deleted and not just deactivated? A hacker could potentially access that data after all. I think the OP is legit and asking a perfectly legit question. The forum account is not created until a user accesses the forum (this was stated by a dev back in fall I think, but I forget where or when).

You are right. Created this 2 days ago.

In response to the OP, if it's because you think you have to play in 3rd person perspective, you don't. There is a checkbox under the options for turning it off upon entering a match and you can always press F4 in game. If you simply hate that it exists in the game at all, I recommend taking a break from the game, come back in a few weeks or months and play a number of matches. A lot of people are complaining about what can happen with 3rd person, but I have yet to see many people talk about actual experiences in this game with it (in particular, video evidence). In fact, I hardly ever see anyone using it.

Except your information is not deleted when you terminate your account. All it does is prevent you from ever accessing it again, therefore guaranteeing it doesn't get deleted

Honestly, there is no such thing anymore. "Terminating an account" just means removing your ability to access the information. Sometimes I wish there was a primer on how internet privacy works. But in a nutshell, if you do it online, it's saved forever.

I did not post here to start a debate. I would have liked to get an answer.

You see, the problem with posting on a forum is that you'll get a LOT of answers. Even those from people who want to debate.

You don't want to play? You should have a MW:O icon on your desktop: DO NOT CLICK THAT ICON.

You're welcome.

This is AFAIK correct, I`ve been playing since Operation Inception last june, but my Forum account says sep 12th or something like that.

[scJazz]

On a side note I found excellent use for 3POV... bunny ear status in a Catapult is way easier to figure out by stabbing F4!

[Ertur]

Also, you no longer need to ask if this mech makes your butt look fat, you can finally just check for yourself.

ACK! surely you jest good sir. the thought of Mechwarrior being owned by Wargaming.net is a horrible thought!

first they make you pilot crappy light mech from each faction. then you have to grind for EXP for a new light mech and new guns you have to use because the game designed the stock guns to be {Scrap} and limited customization options, then you have to grind for a month or even several just to get the Atlas you want only to have it blown up by some punk with gold ammo bought with real money.

lol yea i know your joking but i just had to be the guy that commented to your post and say that ^^
