EA store is the most effed up website I have seen since the early 90's. As many games as EA has, as much code as it takes for all these games, just how hard is it to find someone within all these coders to actually create a fully functional store site? I try to login, I get can't login messages or EA is OFFLINE at the moment (for 2-4 mths), you must be logged in to place an order, have logged into Mythic before trying to login to the frickin store with no luck, I have changed browsers, devices, android phone, iphone, mac, computer, Xbox browser, PS4 browser, I have tried my stores computers with the same negative results, I have tried running a browser with zero cache, with 100 megs cache, cleared caches, no firewall, running LAN line directly to NIC card and bypassing routers at home and at shop with the same results. I just hope they don't sell anything nice, like an expansion until they can get their crap together.
What's strange is that I was able to use the store no problem at anytime with just minor BS before November, after that, it has been nothing but a PITA. There ARE other places to get items at...like, er other people in game, yeah that's the ticket...fix the store or I can go to another alternative and EA can be out that 25-50$ game allotment per week I allow myself the option to spend. I don't care who gets the money, if it's not being reinvested into the UO team and from what I have read it isn't being put back into paying developers in UO, so eat a big 'un EA.
btw, Can anyone confirm if the developers and staff get any profit from the store?
Not really a rant, just bewildered that ANY company that is in business to make profit but just lets money slip through it's fingers can't possibly float well, with customers, stock investments and their reputation. Kamakazi business plan apparently...
