Mass Effect 3 Demo: Sorry it appears the EA Servers are currently down...

Hello,

I downloaded the Mass Effect 3 Demo using Origin.

I start the game, it loads and I've tried to connect for three days and I get the same message:

"Sorry it appears the EA Servers are currently down."

I started a chat which never is answered.

The chat ticket is created but never answered.

Does Origin NOT want me to try and buy Mass Effect 3?

Will the Mass Effect 3 servers EVER be available?

I play Battlefield about every other day and the servers are always there.

I have a 200 MB cable connection--so that's not the issue.

The Demo servers are down for good, (That is not really surprising if you consider that ME3 is a nearly 5 years old game.) but you still can play the Demo.
Disconnect your internet connection before starting the Demo and the Game will run.

The full Game servers are up and running.

Can you try starting Origin and ME3 as an administrator?

I downloaded demo and when I press start to play, on the title screen. Same message appears and then closes, and I tried the admin stuff.

Thanks. I've since downloaded the demo and I can see the issue on my machine too, so it looks like it's on our end.

I am having the same problem. CTD when the "Sorry it appears sthe EA Servers are currently down..." message. I would really like to try the Demo before I buy the game.

I am having the same issue with the demo. I wanted to try the demo first before buying the game (which I have also had issues buying though origin - and so thought to try the demo to see if I really wanted to get the game) Now all I get is the EA server is currently unavailable and it kicks me from the game.

Still down.
I downloaded the demo last night and 7/18/15 and still can't play the demo. I guess EA really doesn't want people to buy it at all then.
