- **REMINDER** Old Account MIGRATION ends this week! - 27 March 2018
Hey everyone! Just a final message/reminder that this is your last chance to get your OLD account migrated to our Sparkypants servers. The ability to do so ends March 31st so if you don't want to lose your progress definitely file a support ticket with Gameforge by following the instructions in this post: http://steamcommunity.com/games/572520/announcements/detail/1667893138244464930 After March 31st all old accounts will no longer be able to be recovered. If you purchased the Squad or Commander edition, you will still have those bundles if you make a new account after the migration ends, but any game progress will be lost. Let me know if you have any questions! All the best

- Manual Migration for Old Accounts is Ending March 31st! - 2 March 2018
Hello Dropzone fans! As you may or may not know, Sparkypants took over publisher duties for Dropzone and setup a manual migration with Gameforge for all players that missed the automatic migration in the middle of 2017. Unfortunately this manual migration service is coming to an end on March 31st, 2018. If you are still interested in retaining your account from before the publisher switch, please follow the instructions found here, before March 31st: http://steamcommunity.com/games/572520/announcements/detail/2227450260360747629 After March 31st, you will no longer be able to request the migration of your old account, meaning when you sign into Dropzone it will be as if you were starting as a brand new user. Thank you to all our fans and supporters thus far. Stay tuned because big changes will be coming to Dropzone in the future! All the best, Deckard

- Instructions for Manually Migrating Your Dropzone Account - 16 September 2017
Greetings everyone. Recently Dropzone's publishing was switched from Gameforge to Sparkypants internally. There was an in-game message during a 5 week window asking for each players' permission to migrate their account, but it's possible some of you accidentally chose "No" instead of "Yes", or you just weren't logged in during the 5 weeks leading up to the migration. If this is the case and you have recently logged in to discover everything has been reset, please do not worry. Simply send a support ticket to Gameforge with your SteamID and previous in-game Dropzone name and your account will be manually migrated over for you! :) GF support ticket URL: https://support.gameforge.com/ If you do not know your SteamID, please read the Steam support link below or follow these instructions to properly get your SteamID. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1558-QYAX-1965 SteamID…
