Are mule accounts "legit"?

  According to Nexon's ToS, that is.
  
  The story is, my mule account got locked from inactivity and when I tried to reactivate it, I can't seem to find/get to the email it signed up with. Using their email request form has just been a pain. They seriously expect us to remember when we created our account, when we last logged on, all our IGNs and our secret question?
  
  Anyways, they ask you to put a reason and that's probably what they look at first. If I just flat out explain that this is a mule account that I don't go on often, nor do I remember when I created it and all my character IGNs on it, will they accept that?
  
  Note that I already sent one form weeks ago and never got a reply, probably because of lack of reason.

  Put yourself at their position.
  
  Your explanation can be used as a way to access an account that is not yours. It will be more of a privacy issue as well.
  
  Also, in order to create another account, you will need different information, which is probably not true information.
  
  

  Quote from Nexon TOS:

  
  (i) provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by our registration form or otherwise; and (ii) maintain and update your information (including your e-mail address) to keep it accurate, current and complete. You acknowledge that, if any information provided by you is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and your use of the Service and, in our sole discretion, to report you to the appropriate government authorities. We are not responsible or liable if your Account is "hacked" or if your Account (or the information contained therein) is otherwise deleted.
  

  
  
  In short, mule accounts aren't legit. I never heard of anyone getting banned/punished for it though.
  
  As for the remember stuff part, you should have just wrote stuff down.

  It's not legit. It's in the ToS, "accurate information" or something. Which means if you use an alt email it's not legit.

  If they're asking for reasons, just say that you moved and were inactive because you couldn't set up for a long time, and now you forgot your stuff.
  
  It's also not legit in the ToS.
  
  Aside from the passage pointed out, I believe there is a portion that says explicitly one account per person.

  Ah, thanks guys. I guess I'll just keep trying to find that email again.

  but how is having more one email false information? People can have more than one email, in fact for most ISPs you are forced to have another email, this is not counting im services either.

  She meant information other than Emails.
  
  You need to provide you full name and birth date for a nexon passport.

  And if you provide your real information for all accounts, you should be fine.
  
  I don't think it's against the ToS unless you lie.

  Except you're only supposed to have one email.

  ToS = Fail Safe for when something actually goes wrong. E.g. If I try to sue Nexon.

  Because it's only logical ._.
  
  Legitimate information : Your main email or whatever.
  You can only have one ._.

  This is untrue for many people.
  Many people I know have both private and public emails. Almost everyone I know has either a school/work email to go along with their typical addresses, and some people even have emails dedicated just for receiving newsletters and signing up for accounts.
  
  Also: Listen to Byte.
  
  [EDITED] you're right I was in the wrong topic D:

  People can have more then one email, legitimately. I currently have a main email that I use for everything, a personal email, and an email from my school.
  
  Also, you can legitimately have more then one account with the exact same information, other then email of course. Who's to say that there isn't someone with the same name and birth date?
