ETA: By request, I'm adding/changing some stuff in this post. Specifically, the addition of Zam member-created guides, play tips, etc. I'll be adding in links to posts as time goes by. Since most of the questions regarding how the actual transition have dropped off a bit, I'm going to push those items down to the bottom, and put the tips up here at the top. I'll be digging into the forums over the weekend to try to find everything I can. If you made a post you feel should be included, please reply to this thread and I'll do what I can to include it. (Wint please feel free to edit/format/whatever as you see fit!)
Thanks!

I have some advice if you are still trying to reach support. Follow the list below:
1.) Get a ticket number from the support website. Skip this step, it's a hassel.
2.) Call the number above and wait. Be prepared to have over an hour of wait time. Someone WILL eventually answer.
3.) When someone finally answers, they will ask for your Ticket #. Tell them that their Ticket number system had an error and you could not get one.
4.) They will immediately and without question give you a ticket number. Please write this down in case you have to call back.
5.) Do not under any circumstances tell SE support that you have given your account information to anyone at all, ever. Not even your mother. Or your twin brother. If you have given your account info to someone, who cares? SE does. Don't tell them.
At this point someone will actually help you. Chat support and email support are not good at all. But phone support is actually functional after the initial wait.
You WILL NOT have any trouble verifying that you are the account holder in the event of a lost key fob or software app. If you stay on the phone someone WILL answer. The is by far the best way to get actual support fro SE. Email can take days and days. Phone Support is a waste of a couple hours but at least you will get what you need.
