Yeah you may well be right. I have worked out how to see the IP it is connecting (I think) when loading multiplayer and will run a ping plotter trace at different times (ie when I can play successfully adn when I can't) to see if I can pick out exactly where things are going wrong.
I could play again this morning fine but not last night. I really believe it is not our own pc end, ie don't bother reinstall, change port settings, open firewall etc that ea help gets you to do to no avail.
The thing is, even if ping plotter shows it to be EA's end as the problem, the reality is they are likely to do little to fix it for a game at this end of it's life span, but it may help with my decision to get into future mp games.
Safe holidays all.
Tye
Having the same problem here using iiNet from Perth and haven't been able to log into multiplayer for close to 2 weeks now, despite trying in the early afternoon through to the wee hours of the night.
Starting to get a bit despondent with this and lack of any acknowledgement from EA on the problem. All the other MMO's I play are working perfectly fine so I doubt it is ISP related. I suppose it is getting close to time to move along to something else :o(
Merry Xmas to all,
