How do I give EA more money?

With the recent articles about EA's profits dropping like a rock and all of the recent layoffs I decided to do my part and activate a second account I have had sitting idle for a couple of years. Because it has been inactive it is not tied to my master mythic account.

I attempt to log into the account manager page using the e-mail it was tied to I get a message saying the username/password is incorrect. So I click on the "fogot password" link and they e-mail me a webpage where I can change my password. I attempt to change my password I get a message "an error has occured", and my password doesn't change.
Because of this I click on the help.ea.com link the e-mail have select to have someone call me back. After waiting about 10 minutes for a call he says he cannot help me that EA doesn't support Ultima Online. I attempt to do his job for him and tell him that this isn't an ultima online issue, but an EA issue since I can link all EA games to this account, and he repeats this is an ultima online issue and he can't help me. So I get frustrated and hang up.

Being the optimistic person I am I figure well maybe I just got someone new, so I decide to call back. I call the number they called me from, select the options for Origin, sit on hold for 10 minutes to hear once again EA doesn't support Ultima Online.

As I am typing this I have been waiting for 40 minutes (even though the web page says 25-30 mintes) to start a "live chat" with someone in hopes that they can help me.

Is there anything else I can do? I figured with all of the layoffs if someone wanted to give EA an extra $12 a month they would glady take it, but I guess I was wrong.

Well I am still waiting for the live chat to start, so I am just giving up. I guess that means one more person EA will have to lay off :(

I even tried starting a second chat incase I was lost in the chat que.

EA appears to be in need of a good defibrillator. o_O

This company is MORONIC

I wish they would sell ultima online to a company that actually knows how to operate in a business environment, where they understand that customers are their bread and butter.

What a joke...lol, good luck. I guess Bonnie can help you come Monday as that seems to be the extent of her job lately.

yes politely ask The Dark Lady for assistance she'd be glad to have some more gold in the Ultima Online "dust filled coffers" :D
