"The Dragon Age server is unavailable at this time. Please try again later."

So I played DAO and DA2 years ago and was excited to finally sit down to this game. I spent about an hour dialing my previous choices into Dragon Age Keep in preparation. After buying the game on Origin and installing it, I get this message when the game launches:

"The Dragon Age server is unavailable at this time. Please try again later." Trying to log in on the game's main screen pulls the same error instantly. 

Here is a list of what I've done:

-Rebooted

-Run Repair in origin and verified game

-Turned off windows and router firewalls

-flushed my DNS

-opened a slew of ports in my router as EA support requested, ensured all proper network settings (UPnP, etc) were enabled

-Ran the UO-Trace tool provided by EA Support, no packet loss over 100 packets.

-ran ccleaner

-Uninstalled Origin and the game, Rebooted, Installed Origin as Admin, Rebooted, Installed the Game, Ran DAI as Admin

-Removed my router and run straight to the cable modem

-Created new windows admin account, launched game, same.

-Launched the game in safe mode w/ networking, same.

...And still the same issue. Has anyone seen this issue? It looks like I could start the game in the default state but that sort of erases all those hours I spent before and I'm missing multiplayer and a bunch of other stuff.

    The server does appear to be down. I can't log in in game either and, a tracert to the server shows it's down. I know there are some other issues EA is working on today so, the server being down may be related to that. I'd try later today, and tomorrow.

    Adam from Support Tier 2 fixed me. Kodi (a multimedia program) had a service using a couple of the same ports. Shutting it down has fixed my issue. Thanks!
