Can we NOT force an account merge? I was unable to even view the website without creating a Twitch account, which I neither had nor wanted. The page claimed that I had the "option" of merging my accounts, but that was a lie. Further, my account details page now says that I'm supposed to log in to MTGS with my Twitch log-in. I created the Twitch account with a throwaway mailinator email and some random password I'll never remember, because I don't want a Twitch account.
At the very least, can we please use our old MTGSalvation login, even if it has to be merged with a stupid Twitch account that I was forced to create for the express purpose of continuing to use MTGSalvation? Twitch said my first five desired usernames were unavailable, so I had to make up something just for this. What's wrong with the username I've had for 8 years?
If you're going to force us to merge our accounts, can we at least get a one time chance to unify our usernames?
I've just granted you a nickname credit which you can use to change your MTGS Nickname. If you need to change your Twitch username, you'll have to go through Twitch to do that.

Sorry, the Twitch account merge is mandatory as of today. The merge page likely needs to be updated so that this is clear. I suggest you change the email and password of the Twitch account while you are still able to, otherwise you risk being locked out of your account permanently.

Your MTGS name will still show up everywhere, but the Twitch log-in is the new way to log in. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it was too funky.

well that took a while apparently someone else is using my email ( your@email.com )
on a twitch account already.
oh and if anyone from the development team is looking at this.
please reword the merge page to make it clear that you now need a twitch account to access mtgs. as for about 30 min i couldn't find a place that said that it was now a requirements. you may what to make it so people can view the trouble shooting section of the forum when they have issues creating an account rather that a blanket redirect to the merge page (had to use an incognito tab to bypass the merge page to get onto the forum to find out what was going on) ( also the whole thing kept crashing took my 15 minutes of my life that i will never get back saying that i was trying to create an account to fast!!! when ever i tried on mobile)
please in future use basic user end test cases before rollout as this just shows shoddy workmanship.
Yea, kinda *****ty that I MUST use my twitch acct. dont want them linked but I have to
Sorry, this is unfortunately hwo it is. In the future, this should be able to lead to some increased integration, especially once MTG Arena has released. See the Hearthpwn website for some examples of what is in store for us.

So, what all information is shared between Twitch and Curse now that the accounts are merged? Does Curse, for instance, have access to my purchase or viewing history on Twitch or what?

I have literally never been to a site that had account linking with some other site and forced you to log in via that other site. This is especially egregious considering MTGS already had a login system in place, and Twitch is a particularly specialized service. This is a horrible user experience, and I do not want a Twitch account.
Why in the world is this linking mandatory in the first place?

The Curse Authorization service is going away.
Right now your MTGS account is a Curse account, usable across all of Curse's network. As the Twitch merger goes forward, the Curse Network is becoming part of the Twitch Network. There was already overlap, and it's starting to become one larger system. Trying to have two independent account authorization systems, especially ones that hit the same sites together, only increases the potential security risks, etc.
Please note you already have "a twitch account". It's just only usable on some of twitch's websites (namely not actually Twitch.com). This is simply migrating your account to the mothership, as the sub-site account systems are going away.
You don't have to go to twitch or other sites. In fact, you don't even have to go there as part of this merger. You can do it all here.
But as we are part of twitch, we're simply doing away with our own separate system.

Can this be extended to others as well? I'd been looking for a way to change my username to match my twitch name, and none appears to be readily available.

Absolutely.
I've sent you a nickname change "credit" that should prompt you.
(You might have to log out and back in sometimes)
Anyone/Everyone is more than welcome to request a name change.
If you have issues doing this, feel free to just PM me and I can also change it for you.

The fact that I was forced to create a new account today just to see the forum while logged in belies this claim. If my MTGS account were a Twitch account, I wouldn't have had to create a new account. If this were an account migration, I wouldn't have had to create a new account.
So, I had two accounts, and now I can't log in to my main account, because this site thinks its already merged to a twitch account, then logs me in as this. I have no ability to use my main account, and instead only have this. Thanks for the terrible forced switch over!
Really though, this needs to be fixed. and it only seems possible on the admin end. Onering is the account. I don't know if you people need to delete this one, or change which one is primary, but you need to do something.

So if it was just an MTGS login it wouldn't be a problem, but since our MTGS login applies to the whole Curse Network and Curse is becoming part of Twitch, Twitch is avoiding any potential future security issues by forcing us to create/merge accounts now?
I can’t log in to mtgs from a pc at all anymore. If I try to log in with mtgs credentials it tells me I’ve merged my account (which I have) and to log in with twitch. But when I do it tries to initiate a mtgs account merge (which I’ve already done), requests me to log in with my mtgs credentials, and when I do it tells me my accounts have already been merged and I should log in with twitch. So I click on that and it initiates the merge prompt again...
I’m posting this from my phone, because apparently that still has a valid login cookie. But from web browser on pc I am completely stonewalled. It forced me to login screens that it rejects exactly what it’s asking for.
For extra info in case an admin can help solve this problem:
When I try to login with twitch (account name tmgexe) it brings up the ‘Yes I have a MTG salvation account’ or ‘I don’t...’ buttons. I click on the Yes, it prompts for mtgs credentials, and if I enter them I get a rejection with red error message ‘you’ve already merged your account, please log in with your twitch account’ (the latter part is a link to the twitch login screen).
When I tried to log in, the ‘Other connections’ segment of my Twitch settings gets updated (MTG Salvation added two minutes ago) - so twitch is seeing the linkup but mtgs still thinks I need to merge. Even if I disconnect that connection from twitch settings, going through the same procedure recreates the connection but I still can’t get past the ‘you need to merge / you have already merged’ loop.

So I had an old account from 2015 called NightCabbage.
When I logged in today it forced to me make a new account using my Twitch account. I tried to enter my old username of NightCabbage and it would not let me.
So now I've had to name myself NightCabbage1, and it seems my old account is completely inaccessible (and my username with it).
That seems like a pretty bad bug in your system... how has everyone else not also lost their old usernames and accounts? Am I missing something?
I too am in a situation similar to Mr. Cabbage. My previous account was "Strivos", but I am not able to use that to access this site anymore. Is there a way to merge that account this this one so I can get back Strivos. If you want to send a confirmation to my email there then I can confirm it.
If there is something else I should do or place to bring this up please let me know.

I've unlinked this account from our side.
Clear all of your cookies, then go to twitch.com/login and log into twitch.
Go to your Connections and make sure MTGS is Disconnected.
Come back to mtgs and log in here with your mtgs account.
It'll ask you to merge, and you should hopefully be able to merge them together again without issue.
