After the server crash this evening, my account has been cancelled. Been a player for 9 years...bummer. Can't find the customer service phone number. Can someone let me in on this "secret" number?
warning though, you WILL get charged long distance per minute for calling and they WILL put you on hold for like a hour....1-650-628-1001 Meow!
On the account management screen, they only say that the account is canceled and it can be for any one of the following reasons. They list 4 reasons, one of which is credit card expired, one of which is banned, etc. They don't tell you which of the reasons was used to ban you. Sigh.... Oh well, I am getting too old for this. If I cannot get it resolved online in a short time, I will use my second account to access all my stuff, and give it away on Sonoma. I must have a billion dollars worth of rubble alone.maybe your creditcard/gametime expired? or did you mean banned?

Yes, the log in screen gives the four reasons. On the account management screen, at the bottom it shows my account with a big red cancelled. I've tried to resubscribe and get an error which sends me back to the management screen. Not to go on and on about this, that's really not my point. The purpose of the post was to find out if the server crash created the problem and whether other people experienced it. I was playing just before the crash, logged out for dinner, and after server up about 45 minutes later my account ceased to exist. I am presently in the e-mail jungle. Will let you know how it turns out.On the account management page it tells you this? Are you sure you don't mean when you try to log into the game?
When you log into account management you should be able to use the drop-down to select the effected account and see when the time expired (or when it was supposed to). I'm a little confused as to what account management page you are looking at. If you have more than one account they both should be on the account management page. Is the one still active listed there? Is it under the same credit card?
You mentioned there was a server crash?
Do you just mean when the login server went down (happens more often than we'd like but... still) because that's not a real big deal and wouldn't effect your personal account.
Perhaps I am dense, but following the instructions in the letter, and as per your suggestion the help.ea.com address results in a page not found error. Here is the e-mail sentence referencing the phone number method:"You can also contact Technical or Billing Support via help.ea.com.

See, they not all evil... Not like the volunteers of Stratics , they are "diablo's" left and right hands,arms and legsI would like to thank you all for your comments. I contacted EA through the phone number sauteed posted (they called back within 1 minute!!!), and successfully re-established my account. Needless to say, my pessimism with regards to EA is much diminished from yesterday at this time.
they do but don't advertise 1-866-543-5435You know I always see all this crap about EA's supposedly lousy customer service.
But when I had a major problem trying to reactivate my accounts after 3 years I called them and they got it fixed no problem and I wasn't on hold for an hour and they didn't charge me long distance fees. Pretty sure they have a 1-800 number somewhere.
Just saying![]()
