Do not lose hope on account recovery!
Hey all! I made a post a couple weeks ago asking for your advice on account recovery. After an unsuccessful attempt on Instagram with the "it looks like your account was deleted" reply; granted that was before I had any adoption codes on hand (only remembered names and thought I had the correct username) I decided to email support that very day! I told them what I thought my username was, gave them 5-6 adoption codes, their pet species and what names I remembered them having. I don't know if the parent e-mail helps, but if you have it, provide it! I sincerely believe I hadn't logged on it in well over a decade. Which shows, as the username I gave them was not the correct one lol. I have just received an email after TWENTY days from support! I got my childhood account back! I have 19 beautiful fur babies and the nostalgia is hitting me like a truck. <3 And just so we can all laugh together at the timing and irony of it all, 4 days ago I had decided to start fresh and adopt a 2nd pet on a free account because I gave up hope on support replying back. So now I have to keep that one alive and celebrate this one's recovery with a new fur baby. XD Last but not least, enjoy some awful pics :)) From first to last have my all-time favourite room and theme, my pride and joy trophy room, some lowkey "storage rooms" (sad ones at that) and a drawing circa 2010. Who knows, maybe your trained eyes can spot some interesting nostalgic items in there. I was NOT an interior design type kid, I was a Mazin' Hamsters FANATIC kind of kid.
TL;DR: Even if you think there is no hope, try Instagram, but also email support and WAIT! They're slow, but they'll get back to you! Give them what you remember: username, password, names/species, at least 1-2 adoption codes! THERE IS HOPE! Good luck to everyone!
