Last July we shared the news that the Demon's Souls servers and online component would only be guaranteed till at least March 2011. Well there is some damned good news for those who like fighting the evil with friends, or just enjoy going around and ruining people's games. Atlus has announced that due to the continued popularity of the game they are extending the server life to at least October of next year.
"We've said it before and we'll say it again," said Atlus exec Aram Jabbari, "we will support the online servers for Demon's Souls as long as we possibly can, and we'll be as transparent about the entire process as possible, hence us constantly updating folks as to what to expect.
"That said, we're starting to think... the servers may have taken on a bit of a... life of their own. Have you played the game? It's not just one of the most brilliant roleplaying games ever made; it's darn challenging, too. It's starting to feel like even if we wanted to, we couldn't shut things down."
"Honestly, we're more worried the servers will shut us down than the other way around."
Personally, I didn't think they would be able to take these things down so quickly. Not with the love and community support it still enjoys. And as we've seen this week, community can do just about anything. ;-)

This is some great news. I only just bought the game 3 weeks ago and it's one of the most creative games I've played for the ps3. (Next to LBP of course)
Good to see the servers are staying up an extended period of time.

Real glad to hear, the PvP component is an amazing component of this game and something I would like to see done more often, its really hard to beat the thrill that Demon's Souls provides to both the hunter and hunted.

man, they should so do some apeshit closure to the servers like other MMO's (matrix online, apb, etc etc though those suck) where it's the APOCALYPSE and hell is breaking loose or something

This is good and bad news, good news is that it is extended for new players and the bad news is that it is extended for me. D:
