If you find yourself with a disabled account, please note that you can still play EA games in single-player mode. For PC games you will need to enable Origin's offline mode to play games with a disabled account. Go to the settings tab in Origin (the gear icon) and select Go Offline.One of the biggest criticisms of the service (other than "it's not Steam") had been the overreaching affect of account bans, spawning from several tales of users that had been banned for anti-social behaviour on the BioWare forums, only to find that they could no longer play any of their Origin-activated games.

But it's good to see EA fixing that up, I'd hate to be banned and not be able to play single player games because of something stupid I did online.

I agree and have experienced all 3 with BF3. Waste of money.

Origin servers have been fantastic for me, I download stuff off their servers heaps faster than I ever do off steam, it maxes out my connection without fail.

I was hella surprised to see that you can avoid the ~15Gb download on Origin by simply copying someone's \\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3 folder now. (unless you got a dodgy Russian key)
Now if only I could figure out what ports were req'd for multiple PCs behind this @#$% Bigpond cable modem

I've also noticed Battle.net & Steam downloads are just as fast nowadays too!

Nope, truth for me. Maybe you love it but for me it f*****g sucks and is near unplayable for a number of reasons.
