Subscription Billing Refunds
Refunds - Coming Sooner!
It seems that many people are still being charged a subscription fee each month. Your account should not be getting billed for the rest of the game's duration. This is a mistake, and you are entitled to your money back. Here is what you can do to be reimbursed and to (hopefully) prevent future billings.

Contact EA Customer Support using the appropriate phone number and tell them about the problem:

Inside the United States and Canada: 1-866-543-5435
Outside the United States and Canada: 650-628-4306

Alternatively, you can contact Parizad with your login name and the date you were charged, and she will work to rectify the situation. You can reach her here: pparav@ea.com

From Parizad:
"Oh no, some of you are still being charged the subscription! If you are one of these people, shoot me an e-mail with your login name and the date you were charged at pparav@ea.com"

After being reimbursed, you can remove your EA Games billing information by managing your account at the EA website here. This should eliminate any accidental future billings. Only do this if you do not have any other EA Games subscriptions besides EA-Land.

Happy 2,000 Days, Founders!
Party like you're 1,999!
Remember when the only way you could have a shaman revive you was if the lot was entirely empty? Or how about when watching the fish tank gave you an instant fun boost? Did you work with friends for weeks to buy a §25,000 sign, only to endure wave after wave of erased-sign bugs? And if so, did you just keep right on going?

If that's the case, then you might just be 2,000 days old today.

From all of us here at EA-Land Mania, we would like to wish all you "vintage" players a happy anniversary and many more wonderful memories, both in EA-Land and wherever you find yourselves in the future.

Congratulations, Founders, and happy gaming everyone!

--The EA-Land Mania Team (who don't look a day over 900!)

ATM Refunds
Source: http://www.ea-land.ea.com/blog/?p=1186
ATM Refunds Begin
Those players who had spent money on the ATM machines for simoleons before the closure of EA-Land was announced will soon receive the money back in their paypal account. If you have not received the your refund yet, you should in the next few days.

This will not affect the simoleons you currently own inside the game. For example if you purchased 1000 simoleons on the ATM, those simoleons will not be taken when you are refunded.

Signatures and Avatar/Lot Tools -- Update
Signature Creator!
The signature and avatar/lot tools are now working correctly again. A HUGE thanks goes out to Randy for taking the time to fix the web services.

If you haven't done so already, now would be a great time to create a personalized signature for your avatar or lot to save to your hard drive as a keepsake for when the game closes in just under 3 months. Once the game closes these unique forum signatures will disappear with it.
