Well I'm running into some problems purchasing the booster pack.  When I attempt to log in to buy the game (it asks for EA account) i enter the account name from my bf2 account "Ribida" and my password, however I get an error.  I'm tried having the account name sent to me through my email address, but apparently my email isn't in their database, its like my account hasnt been made, which leads me to my next question.  Does creating an EA account in Battlefield 2 really create an EA account?  If yes, then I just need to wait on EA support, if no, it brings me to my next question.  Does it matter what account I use to purchase Armored fury?  I know with games like special forces you are just given a CD key and the key is tied to the computer and it doesnt matter which account you play on.  If it's like that I'll just make an EA account, get the game and play using my regular account.  If it isn't like that how can I tie this new EA account with my existing BF account?

No - EA creates an "EA account" - you then have to go and create a BF2 account as it'll ask you for your BF2 details later. As in, my EA account name is "theleetkyle" but my Battlefield 2 name is just "leetkyle"

Yeah, you have to make an "EA account".  After making it and logging in, I believe you associate it with your specific BF2 account, so that nobody can install AF/EF from your "EA" account to their own "BF2" account.

so I take it if you decide to make a new bf2 account you lose the booster packs?
