I enjoy the heck out of ME3MP and appreciate all the hard work that has been put into it, but this seems like the setting up of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Shutting down support and giving an uncertain future about the servers pretty much guarantees that even inveterate cash for pack buyers like myself are going to be wary of dumping funds into something that could disappear at any time. Of course, the drying up of incoming funds then gives a perfect reason to pull the plug once and for all.
Weekend Challenge?

They aren't going to kill the servers too are they? This is starting to scare me. I can understand weekend challenges coming to an end. But it wouldn't make sense to kill the multiplayer completely.

Hey guys - so yes the servers and challenge systems will keep running as long as we can keep them up but there will no longer be any organized weekend events.

Switching the servers off 1 year after would be cheap. But who knows?

DEFIANCE is out in 11 days pre order now for mass co-op, multiplayer yes 2 seperate modes at same time and its a mass MMO.
ME3 is dead time to move on.
Seconded, I'm on the DEFIANCE XBOX beta tonite.
Really sad, and hard to understand. What kind of a pusher stops support after getting it's customer base hooked?!!?
Maybe its just me, but BIOWARE could sell me new stuff for this game from now ME4.
ME3MP RIP.

From the BioWare Blog:
"Hi Everyone,
My name is Jonathan Warner; I’m the Senior Producer on the Mass
Effect franchise. I joined the Mass Effect Team when we launched ME3
and our Multiplayer Service and it has been a wonderful, wild ride!
It has been our pleasure to run and support this service for over a
year now and provide the maps, kits, gear, and weapons that we all love.
I wanted to thank everyone who played Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer, and
participated in our challenges and events. You have made working on it a
real pleasure.
After a solid year of dedicated service, we are now turning our
attention to new projects and endeavors, but Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer
will live on. Our challenge system and N7 HQ will be maintained and
looked after.
Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you online!
Jonathan

It was always really exciting to see how the message boards reacted
to every new drop of information released, or any change in the game we
introduced. Working on the live environment and all of the DLC for the
multiplayer was a blast, in large part to the community. I’m still
ecstatic over how much content we got to deliver in the last year.

Didn't you say you had a 20 strong dev team solely for multiplayer? Couldn't one of them have knocked up a "random weekly challenge generator" during an Innovation Sprint.
This.
You don't stop multiplayer just because your campaign has ended.
This company... is just.. ugh.

Garrus ,I think you've given us the theme of ME3.

Ah, man, that sucks. The new DLC provided new opportunities for some weekend events.
Oh, well...

That's fine, just double or triple or quadruple the UR drop rate and let us move on, too.

Can't we just have double EXP or double credit events? I just bought the game on the PC and I prefer it to the consoles, but the lack of gear is annoying. At least the weekends offered decent weapons.

Ok...so what does that mean for bi-weekly balance changes?
Will we get an UR pack in the store?

It's been over a year. Not many games have a thriving multiplayer a year later outside of Halo/COD/MMOs. This company has given you more than just about any, in the last year. Be thankful for once, these people have jobs, and it isn't to cater to your every desire. Despite what you may believe.

A sad day.
I loved the weekend challenges but lodestar was obviously the last one, Hackett's last sentence in the announcement was "finish it"
I think a proper announcement should have been made though.

EA are money grabbing b... well, lets say, my opinion on EA changes only in that they deserve another hour of profanities and rotten eggs on their adress or better in their faces.
Still I like two ideas - that someone mentioned here - if they are shutting down human handled challenges, they at least could make random, or community managed challenge generator. And one special goodbye package for buying ultra rare items, would have at least some calming effect.

The blog post indicates the game will still be available for some time. What I get out of that is nothing new will be done, but the game in its current state will be maintained.
