"I am one of the unlucky people with a new copy of DAO, and I'm completely locked of out authorizing my DLC content.
More importantly, how can I have any confidence that the DRM wont breakl my game in the future? 1 year from now? 5 years? I still play rpg games made in 2001. Will that be possible in a drm laden world of failed game companies in 2021? Will bioware even be around 5 years from now? Not at this rate of failure and decline. Especially not if DA 2 is any indicator of the direction in quality control and depth story telling and gameplay. This DRM display of instability may be the first real nail in their coffin though."

Or i must be doing something wrong...
There is a workaround that worked for me. Its not a real workaround but more of a cheat. If you have a backup of your dragonage folders, from like a scheduled system backup, from before the glitch Friday morning you can just logout and your content will authorize and you can play. This worked for me. I had a backup from just before the crash where my DLC was still authorized so I made sure I was logged out of the DA servers, quit the game, restored from backup (except for the characters/saves folders since I did not want to lose any progress I had made) and then started the game and all of my DLC is present and authorized. Just don't log back in until this mess is fixed.
I did that once on my old PC and it got all messed up.
I ended up buying a new pc....

So I've never played The Witcher. I've just ordered it to fill in whilst I wait for EA/Bioware to get their act together. Certainly wont be buying any DA2 DLCs until this server issue is fixed in any case.
I've not given up on BioWare, not threatening to never buy another thing from them, but really, this is sort of thing is just manna to their competition.
Heh... I ordered the Witcher a few weekends ago from Steam during a sale... Steam ran out of license keys, so the game could not be played for four days. Hmmm... deja vu....

That brings something to mind...
I've been dying to pick up a Title from Good Old Games.com (need to wait just a few more days to pay off a bit of the CC balance) Everyone should take a look at the classic titles and the prices over there!
Some amazing stuff...a lot of which I never played or never thought I'd get to play again)
The most interesting selling point they're advertising?
DRM-Free!

I saw the DLC was gone
And I cursed at EA
The server was down
And I watched
As the players tried to reassemble it
And we all swore that
We would never let ourselves forget
And that was the day that we promised
We would get EA to fix it
Cause DA is important to us
DA is important to us
DA is important to us
DA is important to us
Only exception - Spoof
What do you think?

Okay, folks, time to lay down odds. What are the chances that we'll get another update from Rob, meaningful or not, before the end of business today? Let's presume Edmonton time.
I say 3 to 1 against.
(Hope I am wrong).
I take bets at 10-1 against...I'll be over at the end of the Bar if anyone wants some of that action...
Speaking of which, when are we going to start getting some furnature in this Thread...I think we've been here long enough to start Decorating.

Yes, that down time was scheduled sometime back. It shouldn't have anything to do, but it wouldn't surprise me for the DLC issue to be fixed in or after that event.
*Edit* Wouldn't surprise me if all of these threads are deleted, and we are back to square one. That's why you have to try to contact outside media and inform them of what's going on. We need to pressure E.A. - Go to the second link on my signature and post there.
