the JO accounts cancel if you haven't played for 90 days anyway. then you can re-register the serial number to whoever you want. it's not like diablo where the acct stays alive but the chars just get deleted.

Well, thats not exactly true. I haven't played with my account for more than a year, and after i've recently reinstalled it - my chars are still there. But you can manually cancel your account.

that's odd, i have 3 copies of the game ( Joint Operations ) and one of the accounts lapsed. I had to create a new acct with the serial number from that disk. If you try to create an account with an active serial number it won't let you, it says that serial number is assigned to a different account.

There probably is a way to manually cancel the account but if it involves emailing Novalogic for help it may take them a while to do it. Not that it really matters, if somebody sells the game and gives the new owner his Novaworld password & acct name then there shouldn't be a problem as the email addy can be changed.

Did that, bought the game here, got the serial number, account/pass, no go.
Bad luck I guess. Oh well live and learn.

I'm going to try and clear this up and sell 2 of the three copies I have.
I used to host and have a buddy come over to play as well, thus the three.

I may post a huge list of games here, some I'll let go dirt cheap, you pay for shipping.
Just need to take the time to compile a list, and weigh them (to determine shipping costs).
