Skate 2 Online: IM NOT OLD ENOUGH!! BULL #@$T

[chaos brother]

Okay there is something really pissing me off and i really need help!
whenever i try and create an EA account it keeps on saying that im not old enough to use online features. yesterday i spent 4 hours trying to get this to work and nothing has..
i have tried the following: created a new hotmail put my age as 18 and made an ea account on that, changed my email address linked with my username to a username with a higher age than 18, tried making accounts on the ea nation website. i also tried punchig my tv..that one didnt work either.

none of these actully worked so if you know any way to help at all please let me know.

[oX will i am Xo]

its not bullshi$t its the law, and youre not old eough, sorry

but it is stupid seeing as its a skateboard game, especially when gta iv had nowt like it

[chaos brother]

its the law? dude are you saying that every over game out there that i play online is illegal..besides its not really fair since i have paid for xbox live i should be able to use everything it has to offer, that didnt answer the question anyway. does anyone know how i can access skate 2 online?

[Almighty Tubsta]

Unlucky......

If you're not old enough to enter into a legal agreement with EA, (contract age) then in their eyes you're not old enough to play it online.

Guess there are too many people swearing online nowadays heheh.

Edit: Set up a new Gamertag

[chaos brother]

but dude it doesnt make any sense, my email adress has 18 years old so why doesnt it work? im 15 anyway so wtf?

[Yannie Boy]

Actually it's not against the law. If you've read the Terms and Conditions that EA present, you need to be 13 and older to play online. So it's not that game that is causing the problem it's Xbox Live. You might need to check with your Xbox Account preferences, but since your 15, not sure how Microsoft will help you.

[oX will i am Xo]

just beacuse you changed ur gamertags email doesnt matter, its the email you signed up with they take into account

and it might not be the law but just there policy, because if there forwarding our emails off to 3rd party companys god knows what we might recieve, and then ea would be held liable lol

[chaos brother]

ffs, ea and there bull shit..this is so stupid. WHY DOES EA HATE ME!!! :( :( :(

[sadfez]

I whish they did this to every screaming kid on Live.
(im not saying you're one)

[chaos brother]

lol, nah i get pritty pissed at video games sometimes :)

yeah ive read that too... u have to be 13 to play Xbox LIVE... (obviously people dont give a shit about that cuz ive heard kids that are 8 or 9 that play GTA IV online) so if ur 13 u can play on live but that doesnt apply to every game... just like when u go buy a mature game... i just wish that when u play a mature game, it should check how old u r from ur gamertag account and see if ur truely old enough cuz i do hate imature little kids that just scream and make irratating noises and think its funny... =/

[chaos brother]

okay guys i like hearing your opinions about this but what i really need is solutions, any help AT ALL will be highly appreciated!

[Iv VeNoM vI]

when u put a new credit card on ur account u have the option to change ur birthdate!!!!!!!!

[OGsmokeTICAL]

Ok so this may work for you:

1st - Sign out of your account on your Xbox and turn off your system.

2nd - Do something else for 3 years.

3rd - Turn on Xbox and sign in to your account. Everything should work now.

:woop:

Sorry but I had too.

Seriously though, I hope you find a fix.

[chaos brother]

well okay guys, i have just sent a email to ea customer support because every single thing you guys came up with (besides OGsmokeTICAL) to fix it didnt work. it is obviously
just a bug, knowing there is no traces on my xbox of me being under 13..besides ea is notorious for this sorta thing.

[Weeeezy Carter]

Sounds like parental controls to me. That or they logged your ip the first time you signed up and now your screwed. Good luck with dealing with the tool academy, EA Games.

[chaos brother]

its nothing to do with the family settings, I know that for sure. And there is no information anywhere on my 360 or the entire internet that I am under 13 :(

[braddelo]

That's what you get for putting your actual age....

[Tilley]

was you 13 when you made your XBL account cos if i remember XBL doesnt update ur age every year which it should unless theyve fixed this any1 know if they have?

allso to the credit card idear does this realy change ur age on ur 360 then? say if i was 2 now put in my current age i will have adds on the dashboard?

[haze sta*]

Have you tried punching your 360? Since punching your TV didn't help?
Lemme know man, coz I'd usually punch my friend instead.

[Tilley]

should be up 2 the perents surely if hes 15 hes not old engough 2 buy it so probs his parents did so it should be up 2 them 2 let him online

[chaos brother]

dude I could only understand that message, use proper grammar and dont put so many numbers in. and besides im not sure what the system is in the U.S but here in Australia
anyone can buy any games, and i dont need my parents "permission" to go online wtf?

replying to braddelo: are you some kind of dumb shit? i said in previous posts that there is no traces of me being under 13 so what are you going on about? were did you get the idea i put my actual age in?

replying to tilley: even if i was 12 or 11 when i got my 360 i didnt put that in, i put in 18 or higher.

Wooo, they were just trying to help you out. Are there any needs to be that rude? Chill out man, I'm not sure what the system is in Australia, but we don't treat people who's trying to help like this here in the US.

[Murkage]

My Friend Had The Same Problem. Theres Nothing You Can Do, Other Than Creating A New Gt

[chaos brother]

They were just trying to help huh? is this what you call help?
That's what you get for putting your actual age....
and how about this?
should be up 2 the perents surely if hes 15 hes not old engough 2 buy it so probs his parents did so it should be up 2 them 2 let him online well, Im not even sure exactly what that even ment :/ took me a while to even see what he was getting at. and i wouldnt exactly call this help,

Lemme know man, coz I'd usually punch my friend instead.

Reply to Murkage: Hey your friend didnt actully have to start a new account, you just need to re download the game, but i dont wanna do that yet since i havnt got all the single player acheivements yet. and if that doest work contact custormer suport, they will allways have a decent suloution.

Seeing as you tried signing up for an EA Account with an 18+ email, that means it's probably your gamertag that's keeping you offline. And someone mentioned why changing the email on your gamertag won't work:

just beacuse you changed ur gamertags email doesnt matter, its the email you signed up with they take into account


When you create your gamertag, it will get your age from your Windows Live ID (either your existing one or when you create one). If you have your real age on there, it's likely to be flagged as a minor account until the account thinks your 18. Either try logging on with a different live account to get online, hit the guide, log out, then log in as your main profile (don't know if it will dump you back to the title screen or even work at all) or create/use a gamertag that's over 18.

Are YOU some kind of dumb shit? In this first post of yours it sounded like you never put your age to 18 or whatever the first time you made an account....so yeah, don't bitch at me you little twat kid . Some people....

You get a minor account 'till you're 16, i should know.

[Pieface]

Sounds like you are one of these whiny kids, who seems to swear at every opportunity.


All I can say then is, good.

[mclinton92]

im really sorry guys. this isnt normally how an australian acts, we are good people. i spose chaos brothers just a bit of spilt coffee on the sheet.


actually, my next door neighbour had the same problem, but he took it like a man....and an australian.


go play halo or something......little bitch.

[chaos brother]

guys a appreciate all the help you can give me, i have heard a lot of things that have helped, thanks too: Yannie boy, Ox will i am xO, weeeezy carter, jukkakhan and there are a few more i am sure, please only post your messages if there are not insulting to anyone (yes i know, im a hipocrit) and and more help will be apreciated, i think a do have the problem though..somthing to do with my dads fire wall. i look into that.

Braddelo..lol, your last comment said that it didnt sound like i put my age to 18, although clearly it sais i did, so why are you asking me if i am a dumb shit?

Reply to mclinton92, alright so your friend got the same problem as i did, he didnt do anything about it, is that the "australian" way to do it? or do you try to fix the problem? thats the way i do it..

You made me laugh Clinton http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif

[chaos brother]

yeah, it made me laugh too.

[Hughesy9]

You shut your mouth pretty quickly when people turn the tables on you lol if your going to insult people at atleast have a back bone, if not keep quite in the first place.
Can't you just change your family settings on the xbox thats what I did when I couldn't play online. May have just been lucky.

[chaos brother]

lol what makes you think i have shut my mouth to all the idiots out there that post pointless comments? if they do post somthing that ethier makes no sense or they dont even read previous posts and think im a "dumb shit" they should expect a not so friendly reply,

there were no familly settings on my xbox 360, i said this before in a previous post: although i dont blame you for bring that up..knowing how many posts you would have to read to find it.
