A china player need help ,please

Dear EA Official, hello. I am a player from China.

2025 marks the seventh year I have been playing APEX. Over these seven years, I have had a very happy time in the game and made many interesting friends, some of whom have even become good friends in real life. So for me, APEX is not just a game; it’s more like a social platform that has helped me find hope to keep going amid the difficulties of real life.

However, due to work reasons, the last time I played APEX was from the end of 2024 to the beginning of 2025. Recently, my friends and I returned to the game. But when I logged in, I was devastated. Initially, when I tried to log in via Steam, it showed that my account had been banned. I had never violated any game rules, so I applied to the official team for unbanning. Even after the unban, I still could not log in. When I tried to log in on Steam with the account named “坂本Lueluelue” (account: zyb_19980131), the game said I needed to register an EA account to play. But when I logged into the EA platform using my Steam account, it showed that my Steam account had been linked to an email starting with 1. Strangely, when I logged into this EA account starting with 1, it clearly showed that no Steam account was linked. However, I only have this one EA account, and when I logged into APEX from the EA platform, my game character was back to level 1, and all the money I had spent, my level, and my friends were gone.

I once thought I might have remembered the EA account incorrectly, but when I checked my stats on apex.tracker.gg (which allows logging in via Steam), I found my account. However, it is no longer under my previous name (坂本Lueluelue) and has turned into a string of strange letters. At that point, I was certain my account had been stolen. I have contacted customer service at least five times, but they either said they couldn’t find the account or gave incoherent responses. I sincerely request the fair and just EA official team to investigate this matter, help me recover my account, and help me reconnect with my friends.

    Hi shuanghecheng​ 

    Sorry to hear what you’ve been through. I can understand how upsetting and overwhelming this must feel, especially after being away for a while and then coming back to find that your account progress, friends list, and linked account details no longer look correct.

    Unfortunately, we’re not able to investigate or recover accounts directly here on the forums.

    Since you believe the account may have been stolen or linked incorrectly, I would strongly recommend continuing through EA Help and submitting the case again through this webform, with as much detail as possible. It may help to include:

    • your Steam account name and ID
    • the EA account email you believe was originally linked
    • the in-game name you used before
    • the current name shown on Apex
    • the approximate time you last played normally
    • any purchase receipts or account ownership details you still have

    You may also find these pages helpful:
    EA Account help for locked, banned, or suspended accounts
    EA Account Help Hub

    If you believe your account was compromised, please also secure your email account, change your passwords, and enable additional security measures where possible.

    Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so clearly, and I hope you’re able to resolve this.
