After almost 25 hours, issue is still there, I called Activision french call
center that confirmed me the problem was the loss of their main servers. <br>
&nbsp;<br>
At the time they&#39;re not able to say how long it will last. <br>
&nbsp;<br>
I will receive a mail for every new information about issue (that&#39;s what
support told me...)&nbsp;and post a reply here if answer is interresting.<br>

Hope they&#39;ll fix it soon. <br>
