The end is near.

Dark Souls is due to be released in 3 weeks. One can assume that the Demon's Souls multiplayer servers will be going down on or near the release date of Dark Souls. This is both a great and terrible thing.

It is terrible because when the servers go down it will effectively kill this subreddit. Without people being able to set up multiplayer events, ask for help with a boss or trade items there will be little reason to choose this subreddit over the game's wiki site. That is unfortunate because this community of min/max build masters, living GPS devices, assholes, saints, story tellers and Demon Hunters is something that I and many others will undoubtedly miss.

It is a great thing because upon the release of Dark Souls we will all have a new outlet for getting our collective asses kicked and a chance to bring the Demon's Souls community with us. If you havent already done so please add r/darksouls to your frontpage and bring whatever level of awesome you have.

Goodbye Demon's Souls. Thanks for all the fish.

A little over a year ago I decided it was time to get a blu-ray player. If I hadn't heard from the raving demon's souls fanboys (this post in particular) I might have just grabbed any blu-ray. Basically I went with the PS3 because of this game.

I'm pretty much a mega-fan of this game and everything about Dark Souls looks just as good, if not better than this one.

There are some kinks I'd like to see worked out in the sequel, like making it easier to join up with friends, but I'll still look at it as a largely single-player game with a wonderfully trollish multiplayer addition.

I'll see you guys in r/darksouls when it comes out! For now I'll stick around here because I enjoy reading about the pain of playing and offering help when I can.

There's still no official word on the servers shutting down for sure, so there's still a chance they'll stay up past October, but I'm a little pessimistic about that.

Enjoy these final days invading n00bs as a black phantom!
