this is how i understand it all (as i'm typing this i'm afraid that i might have right, all i can do is hope i'm not): the reason that XIII is crashing is becase that the server-pings is shooting through the roof. i think that the UBI main-server has a lower priority for XIII than before (what i mean is: UBI is always releaseing new games that is more demanding for the server than the past ones and so it will continue) i know this will make you all sad but i think that the feature of playing XIII online is slowly minimizing and will soon disappear completly, what i mean is that soon there is no meaning for the clans of XIII to exist i really hope that more people begin to play this game so UBI need to rise this games priority again so everything will go back to times when a player was able to play without gigantic lags and irritating crashes the future of XIII is dark, like the game was ment to be a failure already under development

I contacted Ubisoft's support a while ago and mentioned about the crashing. They offered a patch in the reply. I installed it, but the only difference I got was that now the game doesn't crash so often, very rarely. They didn't mention about terminating XIII multiplayer feature, but would they mention if they were going to terminate it?
I'm sure they have got enough space in their servers (or whatever) that despite publishing new games they are not going to run out of space. I know this is a different instance, but for example No One Lives Forever 2 is still working online even though there are just a few players playing the game. And XIII might have hundreds of players - a quite difference.
On the other hand, what I know, Ubi is having problems (?) because Electronic Arts is interested in bying the company (and now it has bought about 17%, I don't know, of Ubi from an investor), so could terminating XIII be kind of "secret" plan to get rid of additional "bother"? I mean, when we see line "This service has been shut down" when we try to enter XIII, we could read between the lines "This service has been shut due to financial reasons". I don't know. We are going to see.
But at least I'm not worried. I haven't seen any news on shutting XIII down and I think they will inform about it before they let it die. In my opinion XIII is popular enough to be able to continue its living.
