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:

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.

...Look in your spam/junk folders for Rancor Pit registration emails...
Attention to the registrant with the requested username of LobsterOverlord: Your original registration was created on 12 Feb 2023 with the same email address as your more recent request. You should have an activation email with a link/instructions that are still valid. Please complete the original request instead of requesting duplicate registrations.
Attention to the registrant with the requested username of millenniumfalkor: Your original registration was created on 09 May 2023 with the same email address as your more recent request. You should have an activation email with a link/instructions that are still valid. Please complete the original request instead of requesting duplicate registrations.
Look in your spam/junk folders for the Rancor Pit email. If you can't find it, then contact the email address in the OP of this thread to register with the same email address, or submit a new request with a different email address and username (and watch your spam/junk folders for the Rancor Pit email).
Attention to the registrant with the requested username of hallbriseflamm: Your original registration was created on 29 Aug 2023 with a different email address as your more recent request. If that was you, you should have an activation email with a link/instructions that are still valid. Look in your spam/junk folders for the Rancor Pit email. Please complete the original request instead of requesting duplicate registrations. After you do and log in, you can update your email address. If that wasn't you, then your requested username is already taken, so a new registration request must be submitted with a different username.
Attention to the registrant with the requested username of ShinreiKuno: You already used the email address for another registration request with a different username. Unfortunately I can't search for profiles by email address, so I have no way of knowing what the username was or when your registration was requested. Look in your spam/junk folders for the Rancor Pit email and complete the original request, or submit a new request with a different email address (and watch your spam/junk folders for the Rancor Pit email).
To all registrants, it is a part of the registration process to keep checking your spam and junk folders for a Rancor Pit email. Please do that instead of submitting duplicate requests. Recently, someone did this and they found the email there, and they successfully completed the activation process and got logged in. The system works, except for disallowed email addresses listed in the registration form and the OP of this thread.
Look in your spam/junk folders for Rancor Pit registration emails. Please, and thank you. _________________ *

Attention to the registrant with the requested username of Valljuridian: Your original registration was created on 07 Apr 2026 with the same email address as your more recent request. You should have an activation email with a link/instructions that are still valid. Please complete the original request instead of requesting duplicate registrations. Look in your spam/junk folders for the Rancor Pit email. If you can't find it, then contact the email address in the OP of this thread to register with the same email address, or submit a new request with a different email address and username (and watch your spam/junk folders for the Rancor Pit email).
Attention to the registrant with the requested username of Tran Falconer, hotmail is a forbidden email domain at the Rancor Pit. Your hotmail address has been blocked so we will not receive any further registration requests from this email address. Submit a new registration request with an allowable email address (one not listed in the OP of this thread/on the registration form). _________________ *
