From the EA Origin twitter account: We're aware that some users are having difficulty connecting to Origin, or running in Offline mode. Our team is working on the issue.
So those of us who can login but can't see the Origin login icon, are working in offline mode? I wonder if that means that any progress we make on the game will be lost once it goes online again?
That was scary. I tried entering my e-mail when prompted and it told me to create a new account. Of course I did not go this realizing there was a server issue. I waited a while and everything is back to normal.
One thing though, my game crashed only every 3 minutes rather than every 90 seconds. I'll call that an improvement.
Just noticed though my friends are all gone. Not a biggie, this has happened before, and I can't visit most for about another 14 hours. And if they're gone forever, well, I can add as many as I want on an 'add me' thread and there are some around here I would like to befriend.
Friends aren't gone. The server can't connect to origin to sync them. You're still logged in locally but the game will need to sync once it can connect again. So if you play on more than one device it could cause problems.
Tried it this morning back to the start againg, no origin logo. Should I play through till the get friend quest then try and log in or will that wipe everything.

Anybody know from the last time this happened?
