Xbox Dragon Age Server won't connect

So I recently went back to play DA:O Ultimate on Xbox as I've owned the game forever and it is supported on Xbox playback and noticed I couldn't connect to the Dragon Age Servers. This is frustrating because even though I have the Ultimate disc which should include the dlc it's mandatory to be connected to confirm DLC. I don't know if this is a result of poor maintenance but I should have access to my DLC without pinging servers so long as my correct disc is in. Is there any indication of when these servives may restore, or if EA will release the DLC from the server ping if they aren't going to maintain them? It's annoying to want to replay the classics a few times before the new game releases and be restricted not only from the DLC but the Expansion too.

    Hey, @Eidj This has nothing to do with poor maintenance or maintenance of any kind. The server error message is explained Here and Here.

    Cheers!

    1. So for the link you sent, there's no way to access dlc because they removed the assets which is a failure to maintain services. The only thing the link highlights, is that on Xbox I can skip the authentication and play the vanilla game. That doesn't help me basically at all, and that is absolutely a failure on EA's end. To combat the issue at hand they could fix the dragon age server which seems silly at this day and age, or they could give a minor update to the game removing the dragon age server from the equation and allow the dlc through Xbox. But I own the ultimate and my issue is I can't access the DLC or Expansion I own because of their failure to maintain a link to assets. Since it's still a listed game they sell, and I purchased content, they should be accountable to allowing me to access my content.

    You misunderstand everything that is said on the linked pages.
    Read this page again and it shows you that you can in fact access your DLC content.

    The "Dragon Age Servers" you can't access now did noting than connect you with the long discontinued Bioware Social Network, it has nothing to do with enabling the DLCs.

    Where? Where does it say how to access DLC? It shows you how to skip authentication, but that doesn't make the DLC appear. It shows how to delete cloud saves so you can view the local saves. But I see nothing about DLC or the expansion.
