Customer Service


1. If you have an account that was terminated by CS over a year ago and would like to have it back please contact support here and give them the details and identify the account as yours, depending on the termination we will remove the restriction from your account so you may open it again.

2. All Sovereigns purchased from Origin have to be entered on the Account Management page. You can not enter these in game.

3. Anyone that is trying to reopen an account please make sure you send all the information to [email protected] so we can have a record of this. In the original request to support if you do not know your secret word please ask for a hint. Give them all the information to identify the account as yours so there will not be a lot of delays.

4. Anyone that does not get their codes from Origin please follow this link to resolve the issue..

5. If you have any in game questions or issues please either page in game or email [email protected].

6. For any feedback to content put in game please send it to [email protected].

7. Regarding Origin orders, codes, and third party resellers.

Recently some of the player base may have noticed that an Origin store purchase they have made did not arrive or complete as expected. A confirmation or code email has not been received and you are wondering what may have occurred with your order. The Origin store enacts reviews on all transactions to safeguard against fraudulent purchases, and these reviews may take up to 72 hours. Unfortunately our Billing department is not able to expedite or circumvent this process, however players who have questions or concerns regarding a store purchase can contact Origin support for assistance using the below link:

http://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/new/

When prompted for a product, choose Origin. Next choose your platform, and select ‘Orders’ as the topic. You can further specify your issue in the subsequent fields before speaking with an agent.

We would also like to reiterate that the Origin store is the only guaranteed provider of codes for Ultima Online. The validity of a code purchased from a third-party seller (be it a friend, in-game acquaintance, or recommended site) cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, any codes we find to have be fraudulently obtained will be disabled and an account that applies any of these codes will have that code removed from said account. This can result in the loss of gametime, character slots, expansion access, Sovereigns (and the items purchased with them), in-game items and more. Please be advised that we cannot assist with any issues stemming from codes purchased via non-Origin means; you will be required to contact the vendor from which you purchased the code for further assistance.


PASSWORD ISSUES

To reset your password you must first understand which type of account you are resetting the password for. EA Accounts, Mythic Master Accounts, and Mythic Product Accounts all have separate individual passwords. All of which you can reset at your leisure at our Account Center at https://accounts.eamythic.com/. Unfortunately, Broadsword Support cannot assist with potential EA Account issues or passwords, please follow the steps below.

To reset your EA Account password:
* Please visit https://signin.ea.com/p/web/resetPassword
* At the EA.com page enter the email used to log into your EA Account to change its password.
* If you have not received your password or have received an error while trying to reset the password and you have disabled all spam filters, please contact EA Support here, https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/new/#?product=origin&platform=pc


CREDIT/DEBIT CARD UPDATE

To update your credit card information, please follow these steps:


  • Login to the Account Center (https://accounts.eamythic.com) with your EA Account email and its password
  • Select the 'Subscriptions' tab
  • Locate the account you would like to update the card for
  • Select the 'Subscribe' button
  • Select the billing cycle you would like to use and continue
  • When you get to the page asking which payment method you would like to use, instead of choosing to add a card, select the 'Manage Accounts' option in the top right corner of the page. This should load a new page that will contain your previous credit card information.
  • Find the card you wish to update and select the 'X' button
  • You can now re-enter your credit card with the updated information by using the 'Add a card' button.

Wont be a popular response but personally I think,
If you were dumb enough to be doing something bad enough to actually get a Ban?!? (duping or pure exploiting is all I can think as you don't even get banned for scripting these days)
Then they should Ban / Delete the account. End of, no coming back.

GMs are people and make mistakes. With a severe penalty like this, at the very least there should be an explanation. Ideally the accused should be able to have some limited way to present their case.
In my long MMO career, I've been banned once (not in UO, but a AAA title). I had no idea why. I received no explanation or response to my multiple emails. A month later I received a notice that my account was banned erroneously and is now unbanned. No apology or explanation. I did not bother coming back.

I have 3 accounts
Only one was banned
Violation: Intentionally crashing the shard
Question: Why did I need to crash the shard with my paid account? I could register a trial account. Why not banned all my accounts ?
P.S My house has not been destroyed for more than 7 months
Sorry for my badly english

I don't think training via scripting is bad at all. I think if you're duping items or exploiting then yea, ban. If you are accused of crashing a shard...then...yeah bye.

When ever somebody claims their account was banned or "hacked"; one must always assume that there is more information than what is actually being shared.

I just find it interesting that a player could crash a production shard. I'd think the server side would be designed to make that kind of thing impossible.

One would think... however I've seen people do things that crashes the CC for everyone... witnessed it first hand... As they did it 3 or 4 times in a row... Didn't effect anyone in the EC much more than causing some rather nasty lag... but everyone in the CC was forced to log back in. You could tell because they would suddenly vanish and all appear again as they logged back in under the house sign... Was at an Auction... the person was torked to be thrown out of the Auction for being rude and obnoxious... they continued that behavior outside attempting to disrupt the event... eventually someone with a great deal of authority was called in to witness it. Needless to say... it ended.

Now that was a few years ago... makes me wonder if this isn't related.

But that's different. Any Event coordinator can crash EC at will just by spawning a monster with Corguls AoE visual. Client just can't handle the graphics.
The server software should be built so that user input is sandboxed, so no user action whatsoever even theoretically can cause the server to crash.

Really? Is it that interesting?

Is it more interesting than someone DDOSing Blizzard and shutting down all their services for hours?

People do stuff like this in ANY game. Why is it so interesting because it happened in UO?

Did I do something to offend you? I explained above why I find it interesting. Has little to do with this being UO. DDOS is not the same thing as server architecture that user action to crash it.

So you're saying its never been possible to crash a server in other MMOs?

Wasn't anything about an Event Coordinator... was one player... attempting to stop a player run event... repeatedly... rather an unforgettable experience... and the one responsible ... certainly deserved to be banned... they knew exactly what they were doing...
