I'm sorry your life turned out so hard, Eugene.

I have been trying for hours (literally) to recover my Sims2 Deluxe serial number. I have done everything the help thingy said to do. I logged into all of my maxis accounts then eventually merged them all into my EA.com account. EA.com is the slowest fucking website I've ever been to. It's even slower than Cingular.com. and they always send me to this retrieval page. And that's fucking great but all I can get off it are my Sims1 serials. There's not even an option there to put in a Sims2 serial muchless get one back. I have bought this game twice already. TWICE. I bought Sims2 when it first came out. Then as luck would have it, I lost my disk. Still have my serial for it but no disk. So when I went out to RE-purchase it, I got Sims2 Deluxe. Guess what! I have the disk but lost the serial! Do you see where I'm going here? WTF gives!? There was somewhere that said you can log into that EA.com place and you can click on My Games and get your serials from there.. I don't even have that option. I tried registering the Sims2 serial that I did have just to see if I could get into that storage part of the serials but it won't let me register what's already registered. I thought maybe it was a Firefox problem so when I try to get into it with IE, I get "Page loaded but with errors" so I can't do any of the drop down menus. and I am sick of my goddamn interwebz crapping out on me. I have been getting some "The connection with the server was reset" daily, maybe even hourly, and it's driving me mad. I'm sick of uninstalling/reinstalling/changing settings/resetting modem and/or router/restarting and cussing. and yes, it does it even if you bypass the router. *weep*

edit:

I found it! OMG I finally found it! It was so hard to find that I can't remember all I had to do. So here's the page that had the right links in case I need it again. Now I can finally get back to murdering my little Sim characters. What fun it will be.
