Before the take-over, I was calling tech support many times a day, but spent eons on hold waiting and never actually spoke with anyone.
After the take-over,there was a sort of improvement, in that I was able to actually get through and speak to someone.
Unfortunately, they were not able to offer help or suggestions of any kind, and simply noted the many various problems I am experiencing that make this game virtually unplayable, and promised that someone would contact me within 24 hours, and suggested I call back again if no one reached me.
10 days later, no one has contacted me.
now, day after day, I come to these forums and wander around in the vain hope that in one of the millions of posts there will be the mysterious answer I need to figure out how I can actualy get this stupid game to work. Weeks later, still nothing, no word, no patch, nada.
Biggest waste of $50 EVER.
