Someone Stole My Identity.
⚓ Pony Town 📅 2025-08-12 👤 surdeus 👁️ 11Dramatic title, I know, but that's exactly what's gone down. Now for the story of how this happened.
My friends, who are huge PT fans, tried to get me to register after convincing me of the lovely art you can make on here. I agreed, and as my only method to sign up is Discord, I signed up using my account.
...You can surely imagine my surprise when I was greeted with 57 lovingly made ponies and 200 hours of playtime.
Turns out, a complete stranger had added my prior-unregistered Discord account to their account, and now I was on theirs.
Well crap.
Because I really don't like the idea of sharing a complete stranger's account, and plus, I could imagine how terrifying it'd be to realize someone else is playing your lovingly made ponies or making new ones, I immediately removed myself from their socials list and promptly signed out, wanting to respect someone's privacy. But, now I can't play Pony Town at all, because my account is now in a limbo of "can't register" since I got merged to someone I don't know.
I've emailed support a few times, but all I've received is insistence that this is a privacy concern and I should email them from the address associated to the account. The account which I don't own, and email address which I don't have, because it belongs to someone else entirely.
This is my final Hail Mary, and I really do hope I can find help here. Has something like this happened to anyone else?
