Un-Migrated Accounts

[remibarna]

Hello,


So there are a few names I been checking up on NameMc and I notice to see a lot of names say "UnMigrated" what exacly does that mean? I heard it means a email is not connected to it. But why can we still not take the name/account ?

Agreed, Mojang should let old account names be available for others.

Isent there a time limit? Or it's like... No. You can't have it at all even if there is no Email linked to it.

Unmigrated means that they have not been moved from the Minecraft.net site to the Mojang site. Mojang made this change to increase account security and to prevent people from cracking accounts. But, accounts created before this change can only be transferred to the Mojang site by the user.

Lmao, I obviously googled it. That's why I said I know a email is not linked too it. But there are a lot of people in this community that I can speak too who knows much more. Then speaking on another forums site. About why they are not public. And ways we can still get the accounts[DOUBLEPOST=1468054737][/DOUBLEPOST]

How come they have not been moved to the Mojang site?

I updated my post. In addition, I believe the reason that they don't force the move because there's additional information required from the user for the migration of the account from the Minecraft site to the Mojang site.

Unmigrated = Usernameassword format (basically pre mojang accounts)
Migrated = Emailassword format (mojang accounts)
I believe Mojang announced that they would delete all unmigrated accounts within a certain time frame, not sure if anyone can confirm. Hopefully those names become available ^_^

Wow, very interesting.

So therefor. Mainly still there account/ Property. But the owner still needs to claim it through the whole process on the Mojang site. Ok got it. Very interesting. But I truly think they should have time limits.

Thank you. Speaking to others more gets me a better understanding ![DOUBLEPOST=1468055083][/DOUBLEPOST]

Unfortunately, all of those old accounts still have rightful owners who bought the accounts and if Mojang were to just delete them that would technically be considered stealing/scamming... But it would be another case if something like this was mentioned in the T.O.S.
