Account accidentally deleted

Kid somehow got to the new delete feature and zapped my account. Seems EA can’t help. Has anyone recovered there’s?

    Data protection laws in europe. You need to have the opportunity to permanently delete all data of you. That is why there is no possibility to restore it after that.

    Only thing could be implementing warning dialogues.



    That law is for personal information. I don't think that would apply to a gaming account.

    It is indirectly, since the account is linked to your email, by asking the deletion of your account, they are unlinking the email from this account and deleting all of your personal informations from their database, and there is no way to relink it again since there is no longer any proof that account is linked to a peticular email, even backup is affected.
  • So the account is still there you can look it up on gg and it was still in my guild. It looks like they just unlinked it. I’d be surprised if they didn’t have a cooldown period of some time as an insurance. They can also revert things back to a certain time. I forgot what it was but they had to do that to almost all of us over something a few years ago.
  • How do you accidentally delete an account? It's more than just pressing a button. After pressing it, you get this big warning in red then your asked to type the word "delete".

    Kid did it on purpose, probably revenge for not buying him a toy or something, definitely a future sith.

    Reach òut to cg, I'm such there's a back up data of your account or something they can restore.
