I’m not looking for an actual response to this but felt I needed to ramble a bit on this issue.
It’s been very frustrating as I was waiting for a few months to get a code to publish maps while Epic was not issuing any new codes. And now it’s been over an additional month since UEFN was released. As one additional month has already passed I wonder if I should have just created a new Epic account to start the clock for the 90 days and 21 days of UEFN to get a Island Creator account. I’m hoping that this issue will be fixed before 90 days, though! I’ll really be kicking myself if it takes more than 3 months to fix this.
For some reason Tax Identity could not verify my business information that comes directly from the IRS. I understand that support staff are very busy with UEFN being released, but, part of me is always hoping that someone will say “Hey, let me look over your account and just reset your Tax info so you can redo it until we get this issue resolved.” I can imagine it’s not that simple, unfortunately.
Do Media Creators have the ability to publish maps with earned income? I wonder if I should just apply for a Media Creator account if they have the same map publishing abilities. I have enough followers… hmm… Anyway, I’ll go back to checking the @EpicCreators Twitter account as recommended by support. They haven’t even mentioned this issue, btw.
Thanks for listening, you’ve been a great audience. I’ll be here all week!
