Email login/verification – The Simpsons™: Tapped Out Review

I was a loyal fan of this game from the very beginning. I downloaded it when I was 15 in 2013, and had it consecutively for the next 8 years until EA implemented their new email verification system last spring. I was subsequently locked out of my account from using an old email I no longer have, and have spent the last 9 months trying to get it back. I’ve tried going through EA multiple times, online help forums, date recovery centers and nothing works. I have spent almost a thousand dollars over the last decade in this game and I’m can’t give up on it now. After finally going through EA and talking to a helper from India, I started a new game under a new email address in the hopes of the old account being cloned onto the new one. Now that I’ve done this, I can’t even log into the system, with it saying it cannot connect to server. I have tried over 50 times and I keep getting the same response. I’m at my wits end and I don’t know what to do anymore, EA had no right to integrate this new system, it solves nothing and alienates and locks out the old players. This is my favorite game and I don’t want to lose all the progress I made. I’m beyond frustrated at the company for this action and if they offer me a reasonable explanation as to why they did this, I can understand it better.
