Contacting Member

I am concerned about a member here who was going to sub me on a world and provide his email address. Is there any way of contacting him via EA... I dont want to know his email unless he gives it to me later ?
  • Using his email address to log in would be 'account sharing' and is 'against the rules'. If you're simply talking about contacting to discuss things then swapping e-mail addresses is a perfectly valid system. Many players have each others contact details, either the email they use for logging in or a regular one. Players also use systems like TeamSpeak to contact each other via voice.

    I don't know of a system whereby EA act as intermediaries other than in-game contact via different worlds or the messaging system on here (which only works if the other player logs in here).


  • Basically,

    There should be a way to opt in to allowing received in-server mail to cc/ my personal registered email. Since SMTP forwarding is free, this is a added benefit to players with zero risk to the server host.

    There should also be a means for a player to access all mail from all servers in a central location, either within each server a selection to check "other server mail" or all mail goes to a single mail system with server tabs - similar to if not identical to the in-server forum options.

    This idea has been killed, shot down, stomped on, rolled over and backed up and canned by every developer in control of the game since go live. Likely due to the non-revenue aspect.

    Would be nice to see it implemented, since you know, PR stuff...
  • Have you checked Origin recently? I did after I posted and Origin/EA.com now allows you to opt-in to receiving mails :) I doubt many will have enabled it from the CnC:TA community, but it is available.
