Bumping - I tried to create a new account to manually transfer the old account to the new e-mail identified accounts, and this time around I did receive an e-mail to authenticate my device on this new e-mail address. I tried again to log into my old account and send the verification e-mail, and still no dice.
Although, when I clicked the e-mail I received to create my new account, the server request timed out as the servers are still down. I think I might have to have a manual account transfer from the old one to the new one, whenever I can create the new account.
