Support NeoGAF

[TheVoidDragon]

- Have your CD Keys ready for the accounts you want to merge.

- Start a live chat with EA Support.

- Tell them you want to merge Origin accounts to simplify your life or whatever story you wish to tell them. Make sure to explain that you have the CD Keys for verification.

- Wait until it's done (mine took a half hour).

- Thank your support agent and offer a digital high-five for the help.

- Enjoy.

You can do as many as you want, I guess. As long as your info is the same on all of them.

Where do you get the CD keys from? Can't see anything about them for the games i have.

Hover over game

Click the "i" prompt

Info there

Go to the e-mail associated, you should have receipts for "purchased" games, all info in there too

 

[Canis lupus]

Aren't you the one that made like 5 accounts? :lol

It looks like we won.

Yes!

Edit: EA have said they’ll honour all uses of the code this weekend! Gosh. Thanks Talka

Cha-Ching!!!

 

[LordCanti]

We get to keep our games? Sheeeeeeeit. Love you EA.

Spoiler

And Wario

anyone else ditching steam for Origin? really impressed by how consumer friendly EA is!

[qazqaNii]

Is it possible to merge to an european account?

 

[RionaaM]

Funny, I got a survey email and it gave me the OS3874XVC code. I thought maybe it was different, but it wasn't. EA expiring the code a week early is kinda stupid, but ah well.

Yep, there's like 5 or 6 more games I wanted to grab.

 

[MrKaepora]

I know that you are trolling, but this was a great marketing move by EA and they must have won a few players to their service increasing the number of users. I don't buy the " oh, we didn't know that the code was open" bullshit.

Still no buying your shit EA, or installing Origin but nice try.

 

[Link Man]

Glad we get to keep our games. One of my 3 was the first in a trilogy, so they could be seeing an additional 2 sales from me in the future.

Same here. I'll definitely pick up FIFA 13 at some point simply due to how much I'm enjoying FIFA 12 that I got from this past weekend. I'm also getting a kick out of Sims 3 so I'll probably pick up the remaining expansions at some point. EA did good by not banning accounts. I could understanding removing the games, but if they had banned folks that would have sent me right back to the "No Origin" camp. Now they have a more folks using their service, seeing their sales and in all likely hood buying their games.

 

[Deques]

I wished that I "abused" the coupon. Could have snatched Shank 2

 

[HamPster PamPster]

I missed all the fun

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Well too bad, ya see!

I tried FIFA, BF3 B2K, Dragon Age Origins, and they all work flawlessly on my rig.

 

[tw1164]

Nice, I was able to get 3 games.

 

[Celegus]

Got a pretty decent haul, and at least they finally got me to download Origin, so I'm sure I'll be making actual purchases in the future.

Mirror's Edge, C&C Red Alert 3 + expansion, C&C Tiberium Wars + expansion, Simcity 4, Spore, Mass Effect 2.

 

[Wario64]

I'm actually more inclined to buy Mass Effect 3 on Origin now that I have the first 2 games. When it goes on sale...

 

[LiK]

play the first two. by the time you're done, ME3 will be cheaper.

With "sale" he's probably referring to another coupon code with which you can get it for free. ;-)

 

[Flame Lord]

The Verge has covered this now:

http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012...ally-gives-games-away-for-free-in-key-blunder

Yeah I got this. I only downloaded 1 game. If people don’t have their games removed I’m really gonna be upset with EA.

 

[Moaradin]

ME3 was already $12 this weekend on the slickdeals page =P

 

[jokkir]

ME3 was already $12 this weekend on the slickdeals page =P

But won't discount for some odd reason

Wario only goes for single digits!

 

[Wario64]

Wario only goes for single digits!

Yep






$0

 

[GraveRobberX]

Yep

Yo Wario

That $2 amazon code bumped every credit up by $2 from the SE bundle

 

[Wario64]

Huh

 

[NervousXtian]

I guess I shouldn't have been out camping and car shopping all weekend and scored some free games.

Got back and this was over.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Huh

Probably glitch, my credit went back down after spending credit from that code

 

[Slayer-33]

Dat positive PR EA. lol

 

[HoosTrax]

Hmm I saw this too late, would have cleaned them out if I wasn't buried in Borderlands 2 all weekend.

I don't understand why I didn't get an e-mail about this promo, or any of the previous promos. It should be the same account as my old Battlefield 2 account shouldn't it?

Did you check the box to allow EA to spam you with news

I get bombarded constantly

Hell I was doing the trick, went to e-mail later on, found said survey, laffed for a few

Oh I didn't realize I had to opt in. Hmm well that explains it I guess.

And it turns out I definitely do have an Origin account -- I just tried my e-mail and my usual password and there's definitely an account here that was created in 2007, which must be for Battlefield 2. How spammy do they get if I check this box?

 

[scitek]

The people who take advantage of this are basically pirates.

Lol. And people that make comments like this are dicks.

Fuck off.

Given that the survey led to a single universal code, and the timing of that Slickdeals "exclusive" sale, I wouldn't be surprised if EA actually expected to be giving away free games.

Occasional, every few days, if not constant reader, it builds up over time

If you mixed in with a more than few EA titles, then the up-tick becomes a little spammy

 

[Joe Molotov]

"I only got 1 game, but some people got 20, so I hope they take everyone's games away."

lol wat? Some people are dumb.

 

[SniperHunter]

I'm actually more inclined to buy Mass Effect 3 on Origin now that I have the first 2 games. When it goes on sale...

I should have done this as well. I bought the disc version of Mass Effect 1, I bought ME2 on steam and I bought ME3 on origin :/

 

[LiK]

"I only got 1 game, but some people got 20, so I hope they take everyone's games away."

lol wat? Some people are dumb.

yea, I don't get that either.

 

[Chinner]

"I only got 1 game, but some people got 20, so I hope they take everyone's games away."

dumb? just plain jealously.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

dumb? just plain jealously.

I'm jealous! I didn't even get one game

I need to have Wario's tweets texted to my phone or something so I don't miss stuff like this

 

[Snuggles]

Dat positive PR EA. lol

Seriously. Intentional or not, Origin is installed on way more PC's then it was a week ago.

 

[Alastor Mused]

The in-game version of GFWL is worthless. Nothing ever works and the error messages it gives you aren't indicative of the error. Just go to xbox.com and make a free account there. If you need to patch GFWL I think you can do that outside of a game too.

The in-game app sends you to the xbox.com/live website and the website itself is giving me an unknown error at step 2... smh... Just tried to make it again and "There was an error creating the Microsoft account, please try again later." Awesome.

 

[alr1ght]

Each game I've tried hasn't updated itself, plus I've had to input my origin account details when I booted the games. I don't think EA gets it.

 

[Canis lupus]

Is it possible to merge to an european account?

Would like to know this aswel.

 

[Joe Molotov]

dumb? just plain jealously.

But it's dumb to be so jealous of other people that you'd give up your one game just so some random person get their 20 taken away. I only got one game, I would have gotten more if I knew you could, but I didn't and it's all good. Don't hate, celebrate.

 

[chiablo]

Of course EA will honor the codes. I'm sure the people in charge of Origin are ecstatic that their service is in the news and people are actually using it.
