finding names of old accounts

back once again to play d2. i have some old accounts that have come off of ladder but whose names i've forgotten. i know which password i used and which e-mail address i used when creating the accounts however. is there a way of finding the names? some of these accounts are pretty ancient but i also have several from the ladder before last. is there a blizzard admin place to ask?

thx for any help. if there's a prior thread along these lines, just link it and accept my apologies for repeating. i tried a search but i guess the terms were too general and i got too many unrelated threads

If you still have the confirmation emails for email registration, they mention the account names as well.

thx krischan, i'll go back and check but i seriously doubt i have emails that old. i was able to finally figure out about four of the account names,.
i know there's probably 3-4 more but i've hit the wall on remembering i think.

I have a similar issue. How long do they keep old, inactive accounts for anyway?

3 Months of inactivity is usually enough to result in an inactive account being deleted.

Awhile ago Blizzard updated their policy with regards to character inactivity which made the inactive characters get flagged for deletion after 3 months, but not actually physically get deleted. Instead, if someone else created a character with the same name then it would delete the old inactive one and allow a new one created, but if you logged in as the character before someone else created a new character then you would renew everything. I don't know whether Blizzard did the same process for accounts though.
