Yes. Should you lose access to your account, you must be able to receive an email from the Rancor Pit to recover your access. Hotmail does not allow Rancor Pit emails at all, so there is no possible way to recover your Rancor Pit access with hotmail. You can easily update your email in your Profile (linked under the banner at the top of the web page). Thank you.
EDIT: See the below thread for another possible option for updating your forbidden email address:
Update your PROFILE (Email/Password/Avatar/Timezone+)

I don't understand why it is so difficult to understand that if you forgot your password and lose access to your account, requesting registration with the same username and/or email address is NOT an option?
This isn't a feature unique to the Rancor Pit. Most things you register for online do not allow you to have multiple accounts with the same registered email address or username.
Unfortunately, to help weed out spammers, registration became less automated and more manual years before I ever took over the site. The original method allowed people to attempt to register themselves, so they would get the duplicate rejection directly, but that way had no human oversight to vet these requests and spammers could register and start posting almost immediately. So the way it works, I have to go through the trouble of creating an account and not finding out until the end that the request duplicated the username, email address, or both.
If you have to create a new account due to losing access to your old account, it MUST be a new username AND new email address. Neither one can match an existing profile. This isn't rocket science. This is basic internet 101. I put a link in the Registration window to the OP of this thread that says this, and you do not have to be logged in to the site to read this thread.
Please, no duplications. Thank you.

Registration still works. Someone I just registered today immediately got access and posted already. No muss, no fuss.
AFTER YOU REQUEST REGISTRATION, YOU MUST WATCH FOR THE EMAIL FROM THE RANCOR PIT WITH AN ACTIVATION LINK AND COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION BY CLICKING ON THE LINK. LOOK IN SPAM OR JUNK FOLDERS.

Do not just keep submitting registration requests pretending that you haven't already requested that. I don't find out it is duplicate until after I've already wasted time attempting to create your account.

You can't recover an account that you never activated in the first place. If you never activated it, then you never had access and lost access.
