Good to know!  That was one of the things that pissed me off when I first started playing the retail version - I couldn't change my password to log in to the game no matter where I tried!  I wasn't a fan of gamespy before UT3 and the UT3 experience has done NOTHING to change that.

*edit* no... it seems I still have problems trying to change my password... and the game logged in fine without changing anything in it after changing it at ign... guess I'll try one of my other accounts and see if I can mess those up too :)  The websote doesn't seem to accept the alt chars when I go to login but it accepted them when I changed my password? Even when I do get the ign password changed and can login with it on the site it's same as the last time I tried... my game is still using my original password even though I've changed it on ign.
