EA still supports the servers for Skate 2, a game with a much smaller fanbase than mass effect and a game that barely anyone plays online anymore.

[Creston918]

When the life cycle ends, EA shuts the servers down, and everything is permanently lost. Your characters, unlocks, N7 etc. All gone. They will not release a patch that makes it peer-to-peer or offline, as EA never does so.

I hope Bioware would at least be smart enough to make a patch that sets everyone's GR to 100% permanently.

But other than that, I wouldn't expect to see a single damn thing. This is EA. Their thought is "(Bleep) you and your online game.These two servers we're running cost like 65 bucks a month in upkeep. EACH!"

Speaking of dissing EA (which apparently this thread is turning into), am I the only one who misses Electronic Arts back when this was their logo?



I think they were my favourite computer game company after Epyx (and before Activision).

Also, put me down for +1 support for offline play after the servers shut down.

Wow. I haven't seen that logo in a while. Brings back good memories.

Also, Thanks for the support!

Bump for membership.

After you join the group, be sure to include what you would like to see in an offline mode in our discussion.

I would like to see offline multiplayer when the servers are turned off. That said, the choice is Bioware's and EA's.

i would like to see in offline 4 player on one xbox or connect with another xbox like how they did in halo. also all your guns and characters are still there that you took the time to unlock.

[Mgamerz]

I've heard of companies releasing a patch that disables online checks for stuff [such as online DRM when they stop selling a game], but I doubt they will do that because this is EA, and because we have digital downloads now.
Offline servers+offline store would be nice, or just give us everything incrementally.
One can always dream.

I'm hoping they say something.

I would love if they just recognize the thread. That would almost be good enough for me right now.

 I would love for some input on this from Bioware.

I highly enjoy ME3's MP and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. But there's always a few nagging questions in the back of my head:

What happens when the servers are finally shut down?

Seeing as everything including our unlocks are stored on the servers,does it all become lost? 

My hope is that Bioware will put out a patch near the end of the game's MP life that will allow us to download everything we've unlocked to our Xboxes and be able to either play solo offline or with friends through system link.

Even though it's still early on in ME3's MP life, it would be nice if Bioware could shed some light on this subject. I know it would make me feel a bit better about all of the work I've put into this game and I'm sure it will for some of you as well.

Thanks for reading.

It is rather odd that this game's multiplayer can't be played offline or even with bots when you look at games like Gears of War 2 and 3 and Unreal Tournament 3. This game runs on the same engine as those games (Unreal Engine 3), so Bioware can't use the "it can't be done" defence that so many of this generation's game developers just love to use.

Actually you can. There's a whole thing out there I rather not post here and it's not my place to. They've turned it into a much better game with better balancing (from what I hear sniping is done really well, like a real developer would do it in some of the games you mentioned)  and way more content. Lots of the big name modders from UT99-ut2004 community (Sinnthetika from UT2004 most notable) have created alot of content but it's out of Japan initially, supposedly a real game developer does it for fun and I didn't believe it until I saw a video conference and in fact it is real. Some of the concept characters people created and posted all over the net exist and are playable. Bot support so you can play with good "people" actually.

EA they may allow us to buy servers for personal use. They did something like that for battlefield 3. If that DOES happens I see clans buying server and modding and making new characters and improving the credits and difficulty, etc.

Wow, I remember those days, playing Archon, and Dr. J / Larry Bird One on One, and Bard's Tale on my old Atari 800....

I used to have the old Activision games on my old Atari 2600 too.  Laser Blast, Pitfall, Kaboom... 

Didn't play very many Epyx games, except for Jumpman... that was fun.

Wont happen for a while poor nintendo buggers gotta be trolled by the store and wep nerffs

[keystpwned]

 Hopefully all unlocks will be carried over to a new ME. Better yet, I hope they just keep these servers on forever!!!

Actually it has happened just not by EA. Read my post just a few up. There's more maps in that youtube video and classes/characters and it uses the ut2004 netcode where you just /connect to people. The only real problem is they don't just let people play, you have to know someone or go through some screening process. Everything is unlocked. There's 80% more stuff too. I don't know all the details. Actually looking for Ultima Online Forever info led me to it.

I would like to know this as well. Hopefully BW will answer these questions and there will be a way to keep playing after the servers get shut down in the future.
