Sorry, I always had trouble explaining (+English is my secoind language, so it's weird sometimes), let me try to make this more clear:
To put a symbol to: old EA (EA1) and old Steam (S1), which is where all the data is. EA2 was made because I made a new email account and I wanted that email to be associated with S1. I unlink S1 from EA1 and link S1 to EA2.
That messed everything up, and I learn EA accounts hold all data. So I make S2 using said new email and link it to EA1.
That STILL doesn't have my data, so I panic and unlink S2 from EA1 and attempt to link S1 to EA1 back again. Now when I try to link EA1 inside S1's apex legends, it says there was an account (S2) linked to EA1. On EA1's link page, it brings up the same page. I then delete S2's account entirely in an attempt to maybe wipe the link from memory at all? But I'm not sure that worked, maybe that completely bricked EA1.
I have NOT tried EA2/S2 (impossible now that it's deleted) or reattempted EA2/S1 yet. However, I would hope EA1 and S1 can be linked again.
2 questions: do I just give up on S1/EA1 and link S1/EA2 now? Is there LITERALLY no override that exists in EA's ENTIRE staff/servers?
I seriously have had and still have a hard time letting go of this account. I had severe depression and Apex is one of the things that physically and mentally got me through corona and extreme solitude. I had no one and nothing; that account has not only thousands of hours and dollar in it but also priceless time and memories with randos, and with myself. If there's no hope, just give it to me straight. I'll just start new again and hope one day in the future, I can use EA1 again. :(
