The Demo severs are down for good.
To play the demo you need to disable your internet connection and set Origin to offline mode. Then the demo will run.
I wanted to ask too before i go buying this game and seeing the problems they are having i have a more stronger PC now and i wanted to buy this game again and to put in short how active is the online?
Mass Effect 3 servers are unavailable at this time. Please try again later
My question: are the servers really down, and if so, when they'll be available?
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Like it was mentioned before, you may try to unplug your router for at least 20 SECONDS (enough time for it can reset properly), then plug it in and try if the servers are available - worked for me.
Community Admin@CarlosS4444 Thanks for the post. The main ME3 servers are up and should be working fine. However if anyone is trying to play the PC ME3 demo, the servers for this are down, folks will need to launch the game in offline mode to play the demo.
Thanks.
Just a quick question (as someone who has just bought the game) and before I hit the 'return' button: is this def. a firewall thing? I'm having the same problem, but I'm stuck behind a university firewall I can't do anything against. While some third-party programs work fine, such as the Origin client, others don't so I suspect that my connection problems are caused by that. My personal Windows firewall doesn't seem to be the problem anyway, as it lists ME3 as an 'allowed' program.
@angry_roadie I just tested and the servers run, so it's seams the problem is on your end.
Still, wait a few hours, and try again.
Also, you don't need a connection to play the single player game.
