I had a unique experience I suppose. It was one that honestly, I don't know could have gone any better.
I was on hold for only 2-3 mins. "Jason" then helped me resolve my issue rather quickly (even though he did have to do a little research on his end to find a solution).
I bought Simcity Societies - Ultimate from GMG (GreenManGaming.com). The product key I was given did not work in Origin. Jason explained that because the game is so old, I had to activate it on a particular EA activation website (all games prior to 2008 have to be).
We got it activate through this site just fine, refreshed my Origin game list, and I'm downloading right now.
This went much, much smoother than I anticipated and I'm happy about the outcome (particularly because I thought I'd have to wait several days before hearing back from GMG support).
