That's what I was thinking. Makes more sense.

I don't remember a clause in the lifetime classic contract that said "if you change your email, you lose you lifetime classic". How do you lose a lifetime item?

You *don't*, like illustrated in the previous bunch of posts before yours.

some people who asked for it to be changed said they were told they'd lose their lifetime classic for it

Your account name... not your email...

quote by an admin (support ticket):
"Unfortunately e-mail changes require an active gold subscription unless lifetime classic is removed."

aren't accounts email based now tho?

Apparently I am wrong and through the email changing form you will lose lifetime classic.
I also think there is no real reason why you *should* lose it. That doesn't make any sense to me but oh well :P

I get the feeling they just do that so people lose their lifetime classic because they want more people to upgrade... and if so... that's ridiculous.

That's plain stupid.

Probably to deter people from transferring lifetime classic accounts once they quit.

You can transfer any account.

It's against the rules to give your account to someone, hence why they are trying to prevent it.
