Hello I'm trying to recommend old account, I don't have access to the email address linked anymore. Would anybody be able to point me in the right direction? Cheers.
I believe what you are actually looking for is a miracle. Many people have been hit with a similar problem due to the changes made a few months ago... I believe the change was called "Multi-factor authentication" aka a complete bloody nightmare. I can only wish you good luck in your endeavours, and ask that you don't hold your breath waiting for this issue to be resolved..
Use the in-game help center feature and initiate a live chat. Simply tell ATA you do not have access to the email anymore and they'll have you answer multiple questions to confirm your ownership of the account.
