    I'm in this boat too. I don't even get to the log in screen where I can try to play without logging in. I get the Gracie screen, the donut starts to spin, and then I'm back on my phone's main screen. I've posted about it in the Bugs forum and on that link where they were asking people to post. I'm getting really frustrated :cry:

    Same problem here. It forced me to update today, and now this.

    I wonder if that's when the person who was helping you leaves for vacation. ;)

    I cannot even IMAGINE how upset those customer service people must be at EA for CONSTANTLY putting them on the firing line. I mean, it's the job of customer service employees to deal with problems ... But one problem on top of the other, to the same customer base, and causing significant issues, and many problems tied to activities with deadlines? The Job From Hell.

    Still can't get into my game. I also noticed that people can't visit me as well. If you visit a town and you get automatically booted to of your game, that person is locked out of their town. So please don't unfriend them, it's not their fault.

    I don't think it's that huge of a problem. My fiance' was visiting friend last light and only got kicked out of 3 towns, mean only 3 of her 100 friends couldn't access their games. Since it's not very widespread, I can see EA taking a long time to fix it. I hope I'm wrong though.

    I can't play since they took Easter away.

    I get the spinning donut, and a message about device not saving/to sign in, over and over and over no matter what I do.

    NOT HAPPY about the prospect of missing out on the Millhouse free skin from the episode tie-in.

    I filed a ticket with EA, 48+ hours ago and 0 response.

    At least they can add +1 to the bug reports!

    Same problem as of yesterday (Thursday). Playing fine, visited friends too early so no FP, Milhouse on his first task then bam, locked out. Live chatted with EA for a couple minutes then they closed out the trouble ticket as resolved which it was not. Live chatted a second time and that ticket remains open and supposedly "elevated."

    My wife has one friend (other than me) who also is locked out for a day or two longer. You visit and you are going to be booted from the game.

    EA has fixed my town at least once before as well as my wife's town and a feeder town so eventually am sure there will be a fix

    It's good to place a ticket with EA when you have problems like this. It's good to establish a paper trail so if you don't get a limited time item you can prove it.

    not a single reply the only thing that I've heard I asked for a status update on the answers page. the volunteers are trying to get me an answer but I haven't received it yet. I'm optimistic they will fix it today, I have a feeling that this is going to drag on for weeks.

    I have the same feelings. It took forever for them to fix the "Harpies". This is basically the same thing. I've never gone this long without being in my town. I've never missed, or needed to used doughnuts to catch up, a Mystery Box in the two years I've been playing.

    Mr. Raffa, if you're out there in forumland, have no fear I will not unfriend you.

    Everyone: give it a little time. DONT DELETE these neighbors.
