Apr 09, 2009 0:42:41 I signed up for DCI and RPGA separately, but now I'm under the impression that one should give you both. Is there any way to make sure that both my DCI and RPGA numbers are considered the same person, and not just a similar person with the same name?

Apr 09, 2009 1:25:49 You have a couple options here:

1.) You can simply start using your DCI number as your default login and registration information.

2.) You can use your RPGA number as your default login and registration information, but you will have to add a leading 1 and multiple 0s to make it a 9- or 10-digit number. example: if your RPGA number is 123456, due to the recent database update you will need to make it 100123456.

3.) You can email [email]dci@wizards.com[/email] and request that they combine your accounts (be sure to give them the specifics, including account number and relevant personal information - a mailing address might be a good start, in case you juxtapose one of your account numbers on accident!). You can then tell them which account you would like to be your "primary". For instance, although I had 10 years of organized M:TG play in my records, I chose to use my RPGA number as my primary after rolling them together, as the RPGA number was just easier to memorize.

Good luck!

Apr 25, 2009 3:55:49 Perhaps my situation is related but different enough to ask. I myself have a 6 digit DCI number from years of Magic play (though I have not actually logged any new events in years). It was expanded to 8 digits at one point and is now back to the original 6 again.

I have never played an RPGA event. Can I show up at an RPGA event and use this number without any issues or concerns? It is valid and up to date with my contact information as a Magic Player Rewards member. I have logged into the account just today.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice.

You will have no issues since all the new cards coming out are DCI. There really isn't anything listed as RPGA.

I have several players that are using there old 6-digit DCI number

Apr 25, 2009 10:55:43 Yeah, no problem at all. I have a couple players with old DCI #s.
One thing, be nice to your DM and make sure they know it's an old DCI # and not an old RPGA #. Old DCI #s get automatically recognized by the system but old RPGA #s need to have placeholder digits added to them. If the DM knows which it is it could potentially save some confusion when they go to report.
