Thanks for the help and I agree I was surprised it let this happen and it had been so long since I played I created it before I even realised I could still access my old account. For info the reason I posted the initial question here is because ANET said they could not help with an API prob and sent me the link to here asking me to put it here. Not a prob though looks like I will just have to live without being able to create and API key against my new account.
