Was it announced anywhere that there was a problem on EA's side? I loaded up the game and it told me I couldn't play my saves. There was no notice on the forums or in the game itself that said that there were problems with auth servers. So how was I to know the problem wasn't on my end?
This.
I wouldn't have had a problem with EA on this *if* they had bothered to make some sort of announcement while they were having the server issues. I know DA:O has DRM and find it annoying and counter-productive, but I really enjoy the game. For me, it's worth it. However, I spent a few frustrating hours going through the forums, trying all of the various solutions that exist for this problem. Had there been some indication that it wasn't anything I could fix on my end, I would have been able to spend those hours actually playing the game rather than getting more and more irritated. Eventually, I simply played the game logged out and didn't have any problems. DLC was still available and I had no problem accessing my saved games. Maybe I was one of the lucky few. But really, EA, at least let your paying customers know that there's an issue that is being resolved and let them know there's a workaround.

I'd settle for a Nexus 7 with HDMI out and SD Card support.
I'll be interested when they patent this - http://www.bash.org/?4281
Thank you Ted, that was the joke.

Except in Berkeley, where it will be Indigenous Peoples Day. Sad but true.
HAMMER TIME.

Have an agenda? Want to make the argument that Quakers are communists?
Not just Communists, but godless Communists.
