A moderator on the Command & Conquer forum - run by Electronic Arts - has published the following message regarding updates the to site and specifically what happens if you are banned from an EA forum. It makes startling reading:
Referring to the new C&C site in terms of bans, the mod, called EA Apoc (C&C) states, "Well, its (sic) actually going to be a bit nastier for those who get banned.
"Your forum account will be directly tied to your Master EA Account, so if we ban you on the forums, you would be banned from the game as well since the login process is the same. And you'd actually be banned from your other EA games as well since its all tied to your account. So if you have SPORE and Red Alert 3 and you get yourself banned on our forums or in-game, well, your SPORE account would be banned to. It's all one in the same, so I strongly reccommend (sic) people play nice and act mature."
Another way for them to put a pretty penny in their pocket... _________________ Comcast: Yo dawg we herd yo were downloading, so we put fail in yo modem so yo cant download while yo failin! QUICK_EDIT
Apparently, they posted an update to APOC's statement.
Quote:
Yesterday EA released the following correction to that statement, saying it was a misunderstanding:
Posting in EA Forums is enabled by an EA Nucleus account -- but access to the forums and access to the games are separate. Players who have been banned from EA Forums are not automatically banned from online access to their other EA games. Players can be banned if they breach the Terms of Service or Code of Conduct in a forum, game or service. Each forum, game and service is managed independently by customer support representatives responsible for that specific forum, game or service.
If you get banned that means no more support thus no more registering with master servers when you void an install. So cracks would be the only solution other than buying a new game.
EDIT: Nevermind, you posted a second before me. It did seem stupid to be banned from the games for something you did on the forums. _________________ Comcast: Yo dawg we herd yo were downloading, so we put fail in yo modem so yo cant download while yo failin! QUICK_EDIT
