Steam link Path of Exile account - original account will be deleted!

"

Are you sure you want to link your Steam account to your Path of Exile account? Your original account will be deleted!

hi

just came back from a long break, what exactly do i lose when i link my account to steam or what does change?

Nothing gets deleted. I don't know where you're quoting from but linking your steam to your PoE account definitely doesn't delete anything.

yea, it deletes your steam account when you try to link.
found out the hard way ;/

i quote from the page where you get to after clicking the link you get via email when you try to link your account

if it will be the first time you'll run on steam. nothing gots deleted.

What I understand, if you played the game on steam before and want to merge it with your PoE account, one of them gets deleted (not sure which one).

I can guarantee from my experience that first case doesn't deletes anything.

Thats kinda strange since I've got a completely different email when linking the accounts:

"

A request has been made to link your Path of Exile account with your Steam account.

If you did not make this request then please ignore this email.

If you would like to link your account then please visit the following link:

I can confirm, it actually does the opposite of what it says, or exactly what it says, depending on how you interpret it.

I played in OB about 6 months back, and decided to come back last week.

I started it up on steam, got a bunch of crap on my new "steam" PoE account, had it in my nemesis stash, then for the race last night, decided to link it back with my old OB account...

I lost everything on my new "steam" PoE account, but gained access to all my old characters from way back in OB.

So I don't know why it says your original account will be deleted, it was actually the opposite for me. I lost my new account.

This is what happened to me too, machiaveli.

I don't care though, not sending a ticket or anything, although I lost a Quill Rain ;_;

This is just 100% wrong.
