Another "EA ID in use" post

Please help.

I'm trying to change my EA ID to HairlineSniper but I keep getting an EA ID in use error even with multiple versions of the same username.

    Hey MrHairlineSniper​ in cases like this the best thing we can recommend is to keep trying different usernames till you find one that is accepted.

    There are millions of EA accounts and as such many usernames are already in use.

    #1 this is my username on all platforms and has never been "unavailable" which means #2 there's no way this or the multiple variations are somehow all unavailable on EA. #3 there are so many other posts about this issue that I find it hard to believe that this isn't an "EA issue" and not actually that the username is unavailable. Can you please confirm?

    If a username is unavailable MrHairlineSniper​ then it means just that. Just because it was available elsewhere does not mean anything.
