All of my xbox items disappeared when i linked it to my EA account

Thanks, so it's only a risk. Not a gurantee that I will lose my paid for items. Is there someone here that can actually help or is a link to an article the best this forum can do? 

Hey BODEINLAZY There is a risk of losing your account's progress if you unlink your platform profile from the EA account. See this article for more information.

What are the risks?
