And the time has finally come! EA have announced the server for the game will be turned off on Feb 2nd. We have chosen Sunday January 31st for the date. The times will be: 7PM: Central Europe (GMT +1) 6PM: UK (GMT) 1PM: US Eastern (GMT -5) Noon: US Central (GMT -6) 11AM : US Mountain (GMT -7) 10AM : US Western (GMT -8) We will follow the same process we went through last time. We will have multiple x360a rooms set up, with staff and senior members heading up the rooms. Obviously, the more people the better. There are various theories that 1 person can have 4 controllers signed in which count, others don't believe that this theory counts. We will be trying to track down a definitive answer from EA in the coming weeks. Anyway, this is only going to work if everybody helps to spread the word. Please forward this thread to as many people as possible, as many communities as possible. Blog it, tweet it, Facebook it, text it. Do whatever you can. We've done this once already, let's do it again. Will be a good opportunity to get a shiny new Award badge  More details will be announced closer to the day, but for now we have a date to work with  If anyone form other sites or anything has questions or wants to get involved, please email nbalive07[a t] x 3 6 0 a.0rg. EDIT - Information everyone should read. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f....php?p=2676753 Last edited by Minty; 01-06-2010 at 10:23 PM. |

I have since missed out the few times they did get 1000 people online. I might just pick up a cheap copy to get this achievement and a couple other online ones I originally missed out on. __________________   |

  Join Date: Oct 2007 Posts: 2,471  | Damn. I'm going to be working that day. Unless I can get off, in which case I'll be here from 12:45 to 1:30, is it possible that I can set my Xbox to the lobby menu or something and I can still get it when it is at that point? |
