Can't Subscribe to SWTOR

@Spearchaser 

it doesnt matter what ea account is linked to steam, has nothing to do with the swtor account 

swtor needs to be linked per https://help.ea.com/za/help/star-wars/star-wars-the-old-republic/swtor-on-steam/

If there is an issue with the swtor account that can cause gametime not to be added but your swtor account would show steam as linked 

is flagged to check the account, response in about 4 - 5 hrs

be sure to email uncropped screenshots per https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Technical/INFO-Steam-Purchase-Not-Working/td-p/9356718/jump-to/first-unread-message

Thank you for checking in. I have been able to purchase Cartel Coins for several days now through Steam with no problems, so I'm not entirely sure why the subscription purchase didn't work. Very strange. I'll wait patiently for a response back from support and will update here when I hear from them.

I also double checked my SWTOR account and NOW it's telling me that my Steam account is properly linked. What an odd day it's been.

The swtor account Spearchaser is permanently broken, you can never be subscribed on that swtor account

it seems the linked ea account has been totally deleted at some point in the past, that account was needed for swtor purchasing a subscription., it is not repairable

See https://help.ea.com/en/help/account/close-ea-account/ 
Deleting your EA Account will permanently break your Pogo or SW:TOR account. We can't restore Pogo or SW:TOR accounts when this happens

best now is to create a new swtor account, link it to steam and resend the screenshots for the steam purchase to add the gametime to that swtor account 

if you like you can call swtor support when the lines are open to discuss the above, however it wont change the outcome unfortunately
