They are two different departments, they may not even be in the same building or the same state. the call center will have access to very different things than the forum guys.

and like i said earlier, they need certain account information to help look him up on the server. they cannot take that information via the forums.

A lot of people have a misconception about how tech services, tech support, and customer service work. in some cases these are one and the same. other times they are 3 different departments with 3 very different agendas.

NA side, I'm near positive they are all Tier 1 or maybe tier 2 tech support at the most. from what i've heard our two friends here have not talked to anyone past Tier 1, but this is all anecdotal. The ones who actually have the know-how and resources to fix the problem are going to be tier 3. and it's not going to hit Tier 3 unless they call in more or the problem has a higher frequency. not to mention if it IS a server issue it has to go to a tier 3 guy in Japan.

So keep calling. you either need to be willing to wait for the new servers to launch or be willing to call in at least once a day. you likely won't make progress otherwise.
