ORIGIN IS BACK UP!!!

Nope, that didn't work.

I still have no origin icons on my screens but friends have been visiting me (I see handshake icons).

Going on 5 hours now for my 'non-access' issue, but looking better now that friends are visiting.

Ok, it is 4pm in EST (16:00). I still have my game and device completely shut down awaiting feedback/news.

I posted to other thread in Game Status re my 'disappearing friends' issue which occurred after a typical crash. Last i checked my town was fine but friends gone except 'Other Springfield'.

Upon learning this was a widespread issue, I shut down the game AND device entirely, in hopes not to lose my Springfield as I see that is a risk when EA and Origin servers aren't 'talking'.

Prior to the friendlessness discovery, I had a maxed-out list of 100 friends, and a growing "pending" list. I am unsure how many Pending as i was going in to delete a few who were inactive for 2 or more days and add new requests (finding i had no 'friends' anymore ... geez this mimics 'real life' lately a little too much lol! They all abandoned me! :cry: kidding; well sorta, ok not really- life sux lately)

Anyway...
I want to know if/when it is "safe" to attemp login and get back to business of the all-important Christmas coin collecting :) I am waiting in attemp to not fool with it and worsen the situation inadvertently.

Feedback anyone??

I was able to log in by doing this, tap Bart/millhouse, tap the "it's a social game for crying out loud" button, and the ORGIN buttons come up. Let me back in and all my neighbors came back.

Nope. Still no Origin button.

Suggest you wait it out.
Watch a football game.
Relax
Write a christmas card to someone you havent sent one to in years.

Good things happen to good people.

Oh heck, watching Football is really the stuff of nightmares for me :roll: :shock:

Maybe I'll catch up on Tribez, :D an insanely addictive game i have neglected lately in favour of Simpsons

I'm in and it looks like several friends have visited :)
