Wonder if there is a way to link my old account to this one, so it will reflect my true years of service (since 2004-2005-ish, I couldn't recover the password for that one once).

Finally finished Dead Island. It was enjoyable at first, but grew pretty tedious after a while. It would have been much more fun with friends. Some annoying bugs too: picking up alchohol usually equips it... and their checkpoint loads are really screwy: I lost my best weapon near the end of the game, because I had didn't retrieve it before I was killed (after throwing it - it had never wiped my weapons before this, in similar situations).
