Blacklight: Retribution – Free to Play FPS | Link Your PWE and Cryptic Accounts
By TrailTurtle @ June 20, 2012 at 6:41pm
You may be seeing a bunch of new faces this week, as players from our Cryptic sister games are linking their accounts to Perfect World accounts. With this, they'll be able to log in and find friends in other games more easily.
If you've already got a Perfect World account — great! You're fine, you don't have to do a thing, except to welcome all the new players from our sister games.
If you're coming over from a Cryptic account and want to get linked, read through the FAQs below to get all the benefits of linking your Cryptic and PWE accounts.
How do I link my accounts?
Navigate to https://my.perfectworld.com/sto and login. This will take you through the linking flow. Be sure to select the correct radio button for your account type.
Why are we linking accounts?
By linking your Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic accounts, you will enjoy a more streamlined process in accessing your information and logging into your favorite games. Doing so will also allow the friends you play with to find you more easily in other titles.
How do I purchase ZEN?
Navigate to our billing page at https://billing.perfectworld.com/charge. You'll be able to purchase ZEN in a number of ways, including prepaid ZEN cards, credit cards and PayPal.
How do I transfer ZEN to a server?
When you buy ZEN, it gets added to your wallet, which you can view at https://billing.perfectworld.com/mywallet. From there, you'll be able to select which game, then which server you want to transfer ZEN to.
What if I don't want to link?
Account linking will soon be non-optional. If you have a Cryptic account and link now, you can claim a special item in Star Trek Online. Also, the sooner you link, the better chance you have of getting your preferred account name and display name.
What about my Cryptic Points?
Cryptic points currently on your account will remain on your account – you won't lose them, but you can only use them in Star Trek Online or Champions Online. Once you've linked your account, you can take advantage of the many payment options to purchase Zen.
What if I don't have a PWE account?
The linking flow will walk you through creating one. Chances are, we've even reserved your account name and @handle.
What if I don't have a Cryptic account?
That's okay. When you login to the Star Trek Online or Champions Online website with your PWE account, we'll grant your account the proper credentials to play all Cryptic games. You won't have to do anything except maybe choose an @handle.
Why are the boxes red? It won't let me have my account name/@handle!
Couple things to check:
1. You can't have the same acount name and display name in the PWE system. If yours are the same, decide if you'd rather it be your login or your public name, and pick something else for the one you care less about.
2. If they're not the same, it's possible that one or the other is already taken in the PWE system, and you'll need to select something else.
It won't let me have my email address!
If it says your email address is already in the system, try recovering your PW login name and password here: https://register.perfectworld.com/account/forgotid.
What are the Privacy and Data Protection Policies?
The protection of your privacy and personal information is very important to us. Please visit our Privacy Policy page to learn more about how we safeguard your account information.
But I only get 80 CP for every 100 Zen!
The Zen to CP conversion rate is the the same as the cash to CP conversion rate. Zen is $1 : 100 Zen. CP is $1 : 80 CP. You'll receive the same number of CP you always did for the same dollar price.
Got any more questions? We'll be updating the FAQ entry for this if additional questions arrive, and you can also get answers for any other questions at our Knowledge Base FAQ section.

This may be a stupid question, but what the flip is Cryptic???

Cryptic is the company that did Dead Space 2 and took over the Neverwinter franchise.

I have two questions: 1) Do we get to keep our Cryptic @Handle as it is? Even if it was already taken as a public handle in PW? 2) Does the Jabber (XMPP) support still work after this link. I've read that it does not. If not, will it be supported in the future?

This has to be the confusing thing i have ever read!!! and i have read some messed up books but this takes the cake!!! here's a question for you.. i have a PWE account so do i need a Cryptic account?
aqua70 @ Jun 22nd, 2012 11:14PM
hi all
aqua70 @ Jun 22nd, 2012 11:13PM
hmppp.
tsuguardtenchi @ Jun 22nd, 2012 5:08PM
sorry DP. heres the issue that confuses me...been in STO before Cryptic went over, bought the lifetime. a bit further down the road i got into Rusty Hearts with this accounts. im assuming life wont stay,but..if i have Crypti Points in STO transfer them to RH does it count as overall.. as the STO said CP/Zen were linked..i think..bit confused here can i get a layman's "quck and dirty" version?
princessya
Your lifetime subscription will stay. You'll be able to transfer ZEN into STO and it'll convert to the in-game C-Points just like the other games with their own in-game currency. The current ratio is 80 C-Points to 100 ZEN.
tsuguardtenchi @ Jun 22nd, 2012 5:02PM
Question. what if you have a lifetime CO or STO account previously on cryptic before PW took over before converting?
princessya
Yes! You get to keep your lifetime subs!
