Minty Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/news/nbalive07.jpg Well, people have been asking about this for over two years now. 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 Please use THIS thread for discussion. EDIT - Please read this so we're all on the same page for this: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?p=2676753 Edited January 6, 2010 by Minty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis x360a Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Sig'd it (Hope you dont mind ), Facebooked it and Tweeted it and going to send the link to all my friends on XBL That should spread the word to a few hundred or so people and hopefully they will be up for it.

Evil Demon55 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I know hours have been set and all, but is it possible to maybe bump it 1 more hour? 10am is when I start getting ready and all, 10-10:15ish. I don't think 8pm will kill anyone. Much easier to stay up then wake up. I got 3 copies, so hopefully I can make it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApochWeiss Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) I should still be awake around then so if I can track a copy of this down, and actually am awake (I work 11p-7a EST) I'll participate.

katesith Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I am willing to buy this game to get some more Gamerscore and help you all. You can count me if I am able to buy the game, I wish to know are the other achievements easy or hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirius Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Can you just leave your xbox running in a live lobby to help out? I have class so I wouldn't be able to play a game or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_thorne Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Guys this game is on for cheap now and days. Nearly EVERYONE can make it. $4.99. If you can't afford it, trade in some game you don't play. I'll go pick up my copy when I get paid or next time I'm at EB/Game Stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keano Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Nice one, the last time an unofficial attempt of this achievement took place I think only around 20 people showed up. I'll buy a copy off eBay nearer the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korean Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 This is going to succeed for sure! Too bad it's GMT+9 where I live, making the time of this event 3 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzzyMe Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 This is going to succeed for sure! Too bad it's GMT+9 where I live, making the time of this event 3 AM. Leave your console on in the lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Argonian Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Count me in! I have a question, though. How will you guys know that I (or anyone else) participated to be eligible for the award? Do I just accept an invite from a senior member from x360a, and join that lobby? Also, I'm a journalist at another gaming website. Is it all right if I make a news post on that site to inform everyone there of this event? Thanks, I just want to make sure if it's all right with you guys to spread the word through another website.
