It looks like all the good times we had on LOTR BFME II will now have to stop as the servers are shuttting down on January 11th. *Sniffle* IMO one of the best RTS on xbox is going to be castrated.

No more Attack troll Spam , no more Arrow tower spam or nazgul rush.

If you still want to grab those achivements go grab those whoring boots and look me up .

Unfortunately EA are doing this to a lot of their back catalogue

There was a rise of the witch king on xbox 360 :O WHEN!!!!. Also EA sucks for doing this.
Someone brought up a good point "I am no technical expert but I think EA should be forced by MS to patch their games to allow for peer to peer when they close down their servers. Even if it only allows for some game modes or some achievements its better than nothing." I agree 100%.

That would be a sensible option, but I cannot see EA even considering it (unless MS put some serious repercussions on them for not doing it), as all the time player are playing the old games, EA are not making any money from those players. Only MS is making money from the games due to the XBL subscription.
