Creating a Social site account

In order to edit pages on this wiki or create projects on the main social site, you require a user account. This user account is the same one used in the toolset as well as in the final Dragon Age game build.

Choose the section below that most closely matches your situation.

I have a BioWare forums account (username-based)

BioWare forums accounts still work for authentication, but the new site requires a few additional details before you can proceed.

  • go to: http://social.bioware.com/login.php
  • log in using your BioWare forums username and password
  • follow the instructions to complete the setup of your account
    • most of your personal details will be detected and filled in, including display name

You will then be able to log in in future using either your email address and the new password you choose, or your old BioWare forums credentials. You will also be able to log into our old forums sites using your email address.

I have a BioWare forums account (email address-based)

This should be the case if you created your BioWare forums account recently. You should have been prompted to set up an EA account during that signup.

  • go to: http://social.bioware.com/login.php
  • log in using your BioWare forums email address and password
  • follow the instructions to complete the setup of your account
    • most of your personal details will be detected and used automatically without prompting

I have an EA account from Spore/etc

If you have previously created an EA account through any recent EA game (i.e. Spore, Madden '07, etc), you already have a master account that will work

  • go to: http://social.bioware.com/login.php
  • log in using your EA account email address and password
  • follow the instructions to complete the setup of your account
    • most of your personal details will be detected and used automatically without prompting

You will also be able to log into our older forums websites using this account.

I do not have either a BioWare forums account or an EA account

I have an extranet.bioware.com account

Extranet accounts are no longer used. Forget about it entirely and proceed as per one of the above sections.

Troubleshooting

  • if you are prompted that the display name is already in use, and it's your own BioWare forums account, you must enter your old BioWare forums password to confirm ownership.
