All I know is their level of support, or lack thereof, has thoroughly convinced me to never purchase another BioWare product. I don't care the type of DRM.

I do tech support at an industrial ISP. We have customers that pay only $1/mo for their old grandfathered in accounts on servers that have been EOL'ed (end of lifed) for 8 years... and if ANY of us let one of those servers with a handful of people that pay almost nothing go more than 3-4 hours without a definitive fix, even if that meant porting their accounts to a new box and leaving them with their old accounts, We'd be out of a job.

Blizzard runs an MMO with hundreds to thousands of people on any given server at any given time and even in that sort of harried environment, a server is rarely down more than a day.

At this point, there is absolutely no excuse for the server to not be up and/or there be an "emergency patch" to alter the DRM to not require us to have to be logged in to get access to the content we paid them for.

Stick a fork in me...I'm done... I may only have one wallet, but I'm voting with it. Finis.

Yay finally get some free time so i buy the ultimate edition only to login ingame and see that my dlc's are unauthorized... guess i'll load up my PS3 and play some GT5.

It just keeps getting better and better.

I rebooted my computer, and now the EA download manager (which is how I launch DAO) doesn't even show DAO in my list of installed games. In fact it claims that I suddenly have no games at all.

Funny, 5 minutes ago I had DAO Ultimate, ME2, and DA2.

Thanks for the reminder Silver, I posted the link earlier this afternoon.

Whoops! I was so excited that the issue was getting negative press on one of my RSS feeds, I didn't stop to check that it was 4 hours old. 

Oh well, never hurts to bump, I guess.

I just picked up a copy of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.
I've heard it's pretty good.

I love Oblivion and Morrowind. I've been playing Oblivion on and off since my first year of college. All my friends had pirated copies, I was the only one with the official version and I took pride in that. I also laughed at my friends because in their pirated versions they couldn't adjust the graphics settings, so they were running it at full capacity on these mediocre (now considered crappy) Dell laptops. They lag was hilarious to watch. Oblivion doesn't do DRM nonsense (at least I don't think it does). I've installed it many times on two different machines. I does, however, require the disc to play. Unfortunately I lost the disc, but I found I crack that lets me play without. I know this can be considered piracy, but in my case I'm not giving the disc to anyone else; I can't. If you want to support a good game and a good game company, encourage people to buy the games.

Oh, btw, look up mods for Oblivion. It's very mod-friendly. There are lists of top 10 mods online that should get you started. Look for one that fixes the broken leveling system, though. That's my only complaint about the game.

Hey Raen, I've seen this question asked in a coupla threads, but not sure I've seen it answered. Assume I was to start a new game (DLC disabled) and play that game until they address the issue. Once the DLC reauthorizes and I enable it, thatr file, in theory, should be fine, right? Not to minimize the ridiculousness of this situation, but it may give the more recent purchaser (myself, included) something to do in the meantime.

Yes, it should be fine.  I posted something like in another thread (below) but your way of putting it is much more succinct.

ok wtf now im pis s off now i get a runtime error so i cant play DA:O at all this is starting to get irritating they really better have this crap fixed or i will make them hurt

[detroitmechworks]

You know what I hate? The thought that somewhere there's a lawyer readying a brief stating that all the players only bought a "License" to the game, and not the game itself.

As such, the access to the content is not guaranteed, and as it says in paragraph A1, subsection 3, EA can discontinue online service at their discretion...

[Kormec]

I have too one funny story.. I finally finished DA:O and all DLC, bought DA:Awakening... I download it and instal it.. Started the game and nothing... After reading this topic I turned off my computer... When I turned it on again nothing happend.. My hdd went to hell to visit all EA/Bioware servers... So I have a lot of time now.. And funniest thing on this?? I lost all my saves!!!

So be happy!! It can be always worse, even if you think it can't...

Thanks Jen. I had forgotten all about Oblivion! I guess it's about time to uninstall DA:O and start up Oblivion again. Shame, really. I prefer M Rated games (based on adult content and situations, not gore per se). ~shrugs~ I'm not a huge fan of MMO's anymore, but AoC is looking tastier and tastier about now, too. At least THEY don't keep people in the dark with downed servers for 5+ days with almost no word.

Has anyone else noticed that the keep me logged in function has been disabled? You can't turn it on or off.

[BWMagus]

Wow, so they've gotten all the way to "We have some theories", fantastic. Still, thanks for telling us Rob.

Runemage; yeah, I noticed that on Friday when this started. I first thought my problem was because I was logged out when I have it set to automatically log in, and it wouldn't let me change that.

...still unresolved? Not only unresolved, they don't even know what the heck is going on?
I am baffled.
I guess when a friend asks me some good RPG to play, I'll recommend him Oblivion (or Skyrim) and Witcher.
Speaking of Skyrim and Witcher. What will happen first: Witcher 2 OR a solution to the unauthorized issue?
Skyrim OR a solution to the unauthorized issue?

Gravity is a theory. I don't know what this is, srsly. At least this time tech support gave me a coupon code.

I used to play Guild Wars with my boyfriend, but then we broke up so.... Anyway, there was no loss on that because the game was a gift and there were no monthly fees. I might pick up GW2 when it's released, but I'll always go back to Oblivion.

While I liked Morrowind, it gets really confusing really fast. The GotY version I got didn't come packaged with the map that came with my then boyfriends Xbox version, so I stole it just to know where everything was, and I still got lost. The game essentially forced you to be a mage so you could fast-travel between mage's guilds without paying every time. Fast travel is nice in Oblivion, but the real reward comes from trekking around yourself and discovering all the ruins and buildings. Those just interested in the core story can fast travel around and ignore the rest of the game, while those who take the time to look into the world are rewarded. I like how that works in Oblivion. Shadowmere helps, too. My roommate used to call her, "All-Terrain Pony." xD

EDIT: Oh, and Oblivion's in-game map was actually useful, unlike Morrowind's. Forgot to mention that.

Well the good news is that if this fix the DRM Authorization servers thing doesn't pan out they may just discover efficient cold fusion. 

[vladimir11]

last night i cried myself to sleep with this song cause bioware/ea wont prolly fix this i thought to myself

[manik.half]

Part of me feels sorry for Bioware.

All of this is EA's doing. Bioware is just a puppet studio for them, afterall. They would have demanded the DRM and the systems to go with it, so when said systems fail - it lands on Bioware to fix and manage the storm that comes with it.
