only thing i can think of is that i somehow, for some reason, used the wrong email address to use for the Xbox when i was first told to attach an EA account. either by creating a new one altogether, or something.
been using it since then,
and then somehow somewhere, out of the of the blue, that EA account i created on the xbox side (if that's even possible) ended up getting disabled. locking me out of all progress and even gameplay.
I have a second xbox account. i tied that to my EA account. some webpage on the help site said that all game progress is held on the EA account, not the Xbox account. I had ended up momentarily attaching my second Xbox account to my EA account, just to check, but all my progress wasn't there. so with that said, I may have been using an EA account that I do not know about?
thing is.
I can not check. as stated again, each time I have tried, I am met with the message "account is invalid". even downloading the free demo of one of the games that Is supposed to show this very relevant information, it still failed, saying account is invalid.
so. I just... don't know. can't know. because the way how EA handles all the console information is just wack.
I have filled out the account recovery form, twice. I've been told that the information that i've provided was insufficient and that they couldn't verify my credentials; both times.
what account would they be trying to recover? the one I apparently used but dont know which is the email because EA's systems won't tell me? the one the Xbox account has been associated with but apparently randomly disabled? that one? the one I have no idea what sort of information it has because it's not the one it was supposed to be used with.
I gave them all the relevant information for it if that's the case. told them I own battlefield 4 at some point, and two apex legends packs, as well as my apex legends player stats that I could remember. wasn't enough to verify apparently.
don't worry. AHQ so far has been as helpful as everything else, so there's not really a problem, and i don't have an expectation for such. just wanna let ya'll know that EA isn't just greedy, but apparently amazingly incompetent - enough to the point of inadvertently completely locking someone out from playing their games; and providing no effective means of actually fixing that issue.
