When I published this post, no explanation was forthcoming about what the cause of the downtime might be.
Dark Souls multiplayer has experienced a troubled year.
The games servers onlywent back upa month ago, after spending seven months offline.

The servers for Dark Souls andDark Souls 2still havent been restored.
Should have praised the sun instead.
Youre never far from safety.
Dark Souls 3 is onSteamfor 40/$60/60.
Ill update this article if and when FromSoftware issue more info on whatevers affecting the game.
