Can't connect to EA link to play Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars

I'm in the UK if it's relevant.

The problem is still extant today. However, I'm also now getting "Could not connect to the server, please try again in a few minutes."

I've been through the password reset process to no avail.

Is anyone from Origin / EA actually reading this forum?

I just purchased C&C3 and kane's wrath standalones through origin and I'm getting the exact same error with Tiberium Wars. Kane's Wrath starts up fine though. The only advice I found googling is to remove the PACE Anti-Piracy license folder, but there's no such folder on my PC.

Have you been able to fix this issue yourself in the meantime?

I'm running Win7 x64

live chat was no help either, however I luckily stumbled upon a solution.

We would like to suggest you to please make a screen name by following steps and link the screen name to your EA account . The steps are : 

1- Create an account in www.pogo.com 
2- Login into www.profile.ea.com using the EA email id and password. 
3- Scroll down the page, click on " Add Persona". 
4- Select option " existing EA classic screen name". It will open a login window. 
5- Login using pogo screen name and password. 
6- Click on " Add Persona". 
7- Now pogo screen name should appear under " Select a default persona" heading. 
8- Double click on the pogo screen name. 

After the screen name attach to your account . Please uninstall the game and re-install.

All I did was create a pogo account, and add the pogo account to my EA persona. steps 7 & 8 were not necessary, nor was reinstalling the game. it asked once more to verify my ownership, but after entering my credentials the game launched.

Not working :-(

Are you able to remember the instructions? because I'm experiencing the issues still.
