Re: Link Steam account back to an older EA account keeps the same data?

@WHO__azuariusquick update - says it was linked to the newer EA account first and I cannot link it back even though older EA was the first one that was linked? Can I contact support and force them to link it to the older EA account?

EDIT: I also searched up and see that I can link it back safely and data will all be recovered. However, I can't link it back since it says that the EA account was linked to a different Steam account in the past (TL;DR, I had tried to see if I connected the older EA account to a different Steam account if it would have my data. TL;DR, it doesn't and I screwed myself) so I can't link the old EA with the old Steam (sorry for lots of parenthesis, but this is weird because these were the first 2 EA/Steam accounts I had linked... so again kind of doesn't make sense). Someone from support said that I will be able to link the accounts I want together after a certain amount of time but said they could not specify. Is this also 6 months? I think I did it around 23/01/12, so about 10 days from now, will I be able to link the 2 accounts together?

Also, the Steam account from the TL;DR earlier was made just to test this and I can probably delete it without any repurcussions. If I delete it, is it possible I can link it without waiting an unknown amount of time?

    @WHO__azuariusok, let me change the question: is there a way to link a Steam account to an EA account that has been connected to a different Steam account? not sure why it says I can't do this even though I literally had the two accounts linked before, and this message never showed up when I linked the other Steam account.

    another question: if I delete the Steam account it says my EA account is linked to (and therefore cannot link to the older Steam), will it allow me to link with no problems? or just absolutely * me even further?
