I posted to their grog blog, put a note on the front News page here at the forums and I'll leave a final note here. I have advised their customer service personnel they have until 7/1 to re-implement the linked account functionality SO I CAN SUPERVISE MY CHILDREN'S ONLINE ACTIVITY, which IS A SECURITY FEATURE, or I am cancelling the subscription. Two other families I know are doing the same. We need a running tally somewhere of exactly how hard this will hit their bottom line so they can be properly encouraged to put the linked accounts back the way they were. This makes our children LESS SAFE, not more and this is simply a ploy to get more money out of my pocket, which is in very short supply these days as it is. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? This is a luxury item for all the parents I know...one we can very easily live without. It would be a shame for Disney to have to abandon this project due to lack of financial support, but that seems to be where they've been headed for a LONG time. I agree that the removal of the % completed functionality also signals that. They can't afford to develop another chapter so they want new players to be in the dark with regard to how much real gameplay there is left. How sad! I'll be back on 7/1 to say goodbye if that's what's meant to be. BAD FORM DISNEY!
