Hi all,Firstly, I'm playing this game since 2016 , I have 11m GP , I spent thousands of dollars on the game and years of playing, building my account.I was hacked 15 hours ago, after opening several tickets on the app and on EA website it seems nobody is able to help me.I have my alley code, my segoh.cc profile, my guild mates helping me. My account is scribe on my guild , not sure who did this or how.I am desperate and furious.Any help is greatly appreciated.

same thing happened to me start of last year.had issues for most of the year with them getting on and gearing up random toons and spending all my crystals. and EA did nothing about it but blame me and tell me to change my password and so forth id done all that and it still did not stop them. they dont care 1 bit trust me i tried every thing.in the end they just stopped going on thank fully i hope you can get your accounted sorted out.but EA help is utterly useless.

You've already convinced the people in this thread that your account is deleted and they've already dismissed you. even the moderator. you clearly said people see the account in game. they account is in the guild. swgoh.gg says it's still getting updated. this account is most likely NOT deleted. your post should have read "I cannot access my account any more, I believe it was hacked" people are lazy and you gave them an out because you said your account was deleted.

Finally, if you had a prior account, make sure you are logging into the Game Center with the correct account info like email address. When I got a new device, it automatically linked to an email address that is not connected to my current account. Just double check, and good luck. All of these advices souded that they could work, until you read #5.

A deleted account is never actually deleted. What happens is you lose connection to the account and CG changes the name to a default name and removes any PII they have on their end. This essentially completely disconnects it from you and CG has no way to validate who actually owned the account. Legally once it's deleted they can't and shouldn't restore it for you unfortunately. Look into "right to be forgotten" for more info.

So if I do the deletion, ask for it to be reinstated, and they comply, can I then sue them for not actually deleting my data?Hypothetically.

It would be good to have MFA before deletion, at least gives a chance to stop malicious actors

Yes my account has been renamed the new name is Chalbran Leone , here is the link to the profile https://swgoh.gg/p/228845667/

Guild mates said whoever is using the account has changed the name. They send him msgs in the game chat, but not responsive.

Someone on redit said its probably deleted. That is why the name became a default swgoh name

I think the person on Redit is correct, which would suck because it means there's no way to recover your account.

Or people talk out of experience. I deleted an account two years ago. It's still on swgoh.gg where is still gets updated (rank in arena, GA etc.). It's under a different name though, a generic SW name. And people in my guild had to kick out the account because it was still in the guild after I had deleted it. I hadn't left assuming that once the account was deleted, it would disappear from the server.
However, you are right, his account might not have been deleted.
If it has, I wanna follow this thread closely to see if he can manage to get in reinstated, because I'd love that old account back, but trying to reach EA I've only manage to get very generic replies that I assumed were written by a bot.
