How do I transfer user name of an old account to a new one? I joined years ago and then forgot login details and set up new acc but would like to keep the old name as it's shorter and shorter = cooler. Does closing old acc and then requesting transfer work?
I want to keep the new acc game history

If it doesn't meet the requirements for inactive, as mentioned in that article, you could always reopen, change the username, then close again. After, change he username on this account.

Unless the accounts share an email. In that case, if the first option also won't work, contact Support directly using the option in the menu.and they may be able to do it.
