I had an account on here named "skayleef" that I cannot recover, so I made this new account. Not trying to smurf, just dont have the credentials to that account anymore. Tried account recovery and they could not recover.

Hi , you can find a guide concerning how to do a proper account recovery right here: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=85837681.
The guide offers several options (such as logged in, logged out password reset or a gold password reset).

Here's a link to the recovery itself: https://forums.d2jsp.org/recovery.php?c=1, be sure to provide as detailed information as you can and try it again.

If your account recovery continues to fail after further retry, please refer to this post: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=85862050&f=34&p=574660030#p574660030.
