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.
Apologies for not seeing this earlier.
All old accounts that were never merged with a twitch account are now completely locked out from regular users.
If you follow the below steps, however, Curse/Twitch Customer support can verify you and force-merge these accounts.
It's the only way to get into an old, unmerged, MTGS account at this point.

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.
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.

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.
