If you are using Windows 7 it is in the folder:

C:\Users\*username inserted here*\AppData\Roaming\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot\LotM

and it is named user.dat

the account names are encoded for security but reside right beside the accounts=


AppData is a hidden folder so you'll have to enable hidden folders, 1st, for it to be seen. You can use Google to figure that out, of course. If you are using Vista/XP, the folder may be in a slightly different location.

The coding for the account name is very simple. Just shift the alphabet by one character.


Open the user.dat file with notepad or wordpad and find the listing for ‘accounts =’ and remove the account name you no longer want listed. Then save (not save as, just save).
