    Come on Origin. This is what happens when everything goes online, requires online activation, even if the game servers are up and running you can't even play online.

    It logged me out when I tried to connect to a server. I had to retype my Pword and then I saw that Origins was not connecting, but I am in a game right now still playing, Origins is not connected though says Chat Disabled. In game though.

    Stay in game or you won't get back in most likely.

    Still running ...

    Oh by the way, this isn't the first time I seen origin.
    It happened several times last week when it ask for login info while joining which I basically clicked cancel.
    Still let me play anyways even I'm not in origin.

    Try login into battlelog manually but keep origin on.

    If the servers are down they must be coming back up, because I am seeing more people joining in. It asks me for my PW every time I switch servers lol.

    DRM with online activation is such a joke.

    Cant say i gave experienced issues with Origin today other than trying to download Mass Effect 2.
    Maybe thats connected to the Origin activation servers?

    Reaches 100% then BAM! back to 90%.
    Its like a curse. D;
