Skate servers are dead. :(

[ACleanSpy]

Whatbra just posted a link to an email saying that the skate servers will be permanently down due to small activity.

It's fucking over... I can't believe it.. I thought it was to just weed out the casuals.. God dam this.
The skate community you guys are the best, always dishing out reels to drool over, graphics to endlessly alternate through, and those skateparks that would always keep us dreaming and dreaming shredding more and more.

I can't believe it'll all just be a brilliant dying memory...

I know it's sappy but I fucking loved this community and game.

it's over..

[SK8ERatWAR]

We all knew this day would come
4 years, 3 amazing games
I have no grudge against EA, just grateful for what we got, which was far more than I would have ever expected

I wouldn't call this the end, more of a turning point. A seperation of the casual from the hardcore gamer, thinning of the herd, quality over quantity from here on out and Cap card sales through the roof

Man it's not even the reel that will bum me.. We can't even play online?
I played online religiously with friends.. fuck.. uh.. tony hawk? It won't be the same
I feel like OG servers were up longer than skate 3 is that wrong?

Seriously.. Hosting a server can't be that much money.. I would deal with a shitty ass connection rather than to have nothing..
Online was a serious part of this experience for me.

My only thought is that the so call customer service desk are useless, whenever I have raised an issue they always confuse skate 3 with OG skate. Are we 100% certain they are referring to skate 3?

Generally they only shut down servers when games have died out and they usually announce it long before.

To say not enough usage is rubbish, considering the amountpeople still upload clips, graphics and parks etc. Until EA announce it properly, I'm sceptical. tbh.

Well someone test the theory..
See if you can play online.

lol
bullshit
there's absolutely no correlation between owning a cap card and quality :B
i respect you half full glass point of view but i find it really naive.

[pawnluvguitarist]

I wouldn't say absolutely no correlation, and I didn't mean to imply that having a cap card improves quality or that not having one makes you less of a Skate fan. My point was more about the odds. When the servers die, all things being equal, sure money plays a factor, but there's cheap cap cards and other ways to cap too like how SGs doin. My main point is just that a hardcore skate fan would be more likely to go out of their way to find a way to film than a casual player, and that in itself would at least produce a slightly higher percentage of quality vids.
