How, When and What of contacting Customer Support
This article will provide information on who to contact when you have a specific support question or issue.
Technical Support
For any kind of technical issue with running the game, installing the game or connecting to the game, start by reviewing the game forums here (LOTRO) or here (DDO).
There are also a large number of technical answers to FAQs in the Technical Help page.
If you're not able find an answer by any of these avenues, you can contact the SSG Tech Support department by completing the email form here. Any subscriber-type (Free, Premium, VIP) can submit a ticket to Technical Support.
Account / Billing Support
You can still manage your account details and contact information at any time by logging in to the "My Account Page" https://myaccount.standingstonegames.com.
For issues with your account, subscription, adding or updating billing information, password reset emails, missing LOTRO/DDO Store points, etc. you can review the sticky posts or post your questions here (LOTRO) or here (DDO).
You can also check the Account Help Page. This is especially true if you are getting a billing related error that has a number associated with it, since many of the more common billing errors are listed there.
If you have a question about your specific account and situation, or can't find an answer in any of the above avenues, you can email the Account Support Team by filling out the form here.
NOTE: The form requests card information for verification purposes if one is on file. If you do not have a credit card on file, simply enter “none” for the card holder name, and “0000” for the last 4 digits of the card. Any subscriber-type (Free, Premium, VIP) can submit a ticket to Account Support.
As always, we appreciate your feedback. You can send us a feedback ticket by selecting the Feedback option when submitting a ticket through the web, or by responding to the survey you are sent after a Customer Service Agent has responded to your ticket.

Following Up with Support After Submitting a Help Request Ticket
When you fill out the help request, you will be sent a confirmation message that might also contain some information based on the support fields you selected when filling out the form.

Bug Reports
To report a gameplay issue, you can submit a bug report.

You can always provide constructive feedback and suggestions in the LOTRO or DDO suggestion forum. These forums are always reviewed, and the feedback is passed along to the appropriate departments.
