[QUOTE="Admin, post: 57600, member: 1"] FromSoftware has announced that the PC servers for Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition have been taken offline permanently, though the Remastered version will still be restored. Also confirming that Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin's PC servers are back online after ten months, FromSoftware said in a tweet (below) that the infrastructure of the original Dark Souls is simply too old to be supported at this point. "We have determined that we will not be able to support online services for the PC version of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition that was released in 2012, due to an aging system," it said. "We apologize for the long wait and ask for your understanding in this matter." The Prepare to Die Edition was the original PC release for the game, launching almost a year after the original console editions. Dark Souls: Remastered will work again eventually, though it's still unclear when exactly FromSoftware will restore its servers after a serious exploit - which allowed other players to take over the user's PC - led to [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/dark-souls-series-pvp-servers-are-down-on-pc-following-the-discover-of-a-serious-exploit']all three games being taken offline in January[/URL].
