"However, some fans are looking into how the game could remain playable despite the servers being shut down, and one person has already managed to get it running on a P2P server. YouTuber And799 has posted a video of the game running on local servers. Though some of the online features, such as looking at your online profile, didn't work, And799 was able to get the game running with two players in the same matchmaking space."
"If that's already possible mere days after was shut down on January 12, hopefully fan efforts to preserve the game bear fruit in the coming months. Even if you or thought BioWare shouldn't have made it , a game shouldn't disappear without a trace afterpeople paid money for it and hundreds of developers spent years working on it. Fans may get the game's unfinished campaign back up and running, but it's unclear how much of the online experience they'll be able to rebuild."
The game's official servers were shut down on January 12, leaving the title effectively discontinued by its studio and publisher. Fans have begun experimenting with preservation methods and one individual successfully ran the game on peer-to-peer local servers. The experiment enabled two players to join the same matchmaking space, though certain online features like viewing online profiles did not function. The person who posted the video framed the work as research and an experiment, not a revival. Community efforts aim to restore the unfinished campaign and whatever online functionality can be reconstructed despite uncertain feasibility.
