I think they closed skate 3 early

[OGBMX420]

its weird that s2 reel still works ..If you make a new account , i just uploaded and grabbed clips

[momadaddy]

i can upload in game but nothing is on the s3 reel. ea tech support was useless this is what i got out of it


Phillip: Thank you Evan how can I help you today?

you: the skate.create section of the skate3 webpage has not been working all day and i would like some insight

Phillip: Just checking now, I cna see the servers look good for the game

Phillip: What web browser are you using?

you: chrome, firefox, and IE

you: i am not the only one having the issue

Phillip: Ok, if you think there might be a glitch or a bug what you will want to do is report this on our Answer hq website under the correct forum so the developers can review this and work to get the issue resolved

you: can i have a link there?

Phillip: Sure

Phillip: Here is the direct link

you: the site is scheduled to be closed on the 29th and it looks like they chose today to do the deed

you: thanks for the link

Phillip: I have not heard anything on my end here about it being closed early

you: all the comments on the blog were deleted as well http://skate.ea.com/blog.action

Phillip: Yes I see that now.

Phillip: It might have been shut down early, but they have not told me anything about it. Sorry I am in the dark here also

you: ok so my only course of action is to submit a request on the http://answers.ea.com/ site?

you: we have whole community of people trying to get the last of their creations off the site before it closed. it is a huge let down man

Phillip: Yes start a post there, our devs check it all the time. I cna not say for sure it has been taken down for good, because I do not know for sure. They might just be having some issues with the server

you: good bye

[echoturbo]

http://answers.ea.com/ and @AskEASupport on the twits

[Mark Murderous]

info: You are now ready to chat with Phillip.
Phillip: Thank you for your patience, my name is Phil, can you give me your Name and account email address, and we can get started.
you: Markdaugherty75@yahoo.com Mark Murderous
you: you there philly
Phillip: Yes I am, what can I do for you Mark
you: buddy skate reel is down. you need to give me an eta on when it's gonna be back up. I have a team to run and a video to premier.
Phillip: I know, I just found out, i am chatting with 2 other players having the same problem
Phillip: I know it was scheduled to go dowm for good on the 29th but that is still a few weeks away
you: yes it is.
Phillip: I already have a service ticket up now and I have sent it to our server team so those guys know what is going on
Phillip: If I could flip a switch and get it up immediately I would
you: any chance, you can tell me, if they are just killing this series or what?
Phillip: A lot of guys were trying to save all of the stuff off of the site before it shut down when this happened
you: I bet this is all Evan's fault
Phillip: Evan? I was just chatting with an Evan
you: He said this was all your fault, but i told him you were a cool guy
Phillip: I do the best I can with the tools I have, I was blindsided by this one myself
you: So Skate 4? any hope?
Phillip: Keep signing petitions and sending them to EA. I myself would love to see it, but guys that make way more money than I do make the decisions around here.
you: Bastards
Phillip: Im sure they are nice guys, I have never met them myself though. With as strong as the Skate community is, and with how much it blows the Tony Hawk franchise away(just my opinion) it would be hard for me to see them just kill off the franchise
you: Look man, you need to become our inside man. I'm kinda rich myself. How about we work out a deal where you steal all of the skate code for me, and I pay you like 5 g's. This could benefit everyone. Together we can release the code on the internet, and let the community make the best game ever. come on phillip. think of your fans.
Phillip: Lol, I love my job too much, besides I am here in Austin far far away from the studio
you: Austin eh. Been to the Dirty Dog?
Phillip: Sure have, actually played there a few years back
you: oh so yr in a band? what band?
Phillip: Been in a few here in Austin, on hiatus now
you: ah I see. you skate in real life?
Phillip: Used too, too many broken body parts and too old now
you: phillip, do you play the game yourself?
Phillip: I played all three, I have 3 at home, but I have been rocking army of two and tiger 14 lately, havent had much time to play.
you: Listen Phillip, you got a 360?
you: I want a part from you for my video.
Phillip: I do have a 360
Phillip: Cant do that though my friend
Phillip: I cant give out my gamertag
you: Phillip you don't have to.
you: just get your clips, and send them to Evan. Create a new drop box account.
you: plus you already have Evans Email
you: You can be Phillip The Hero
you: phillip come on.
you: ok phillip can I get a transcript of this mailed to my home?
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to markdaugherty75@yahoo.com at the end of your chat session.
you: phillip I will always love you, even if you won't steal the code for me or be in my video. Have a goodnight good sir.
