EA had previously indicated that it would be pulling the plug on multiplayer as of February 1 “in order to enable the best possible experience for gamers who have purchased Burnout Paradise.” This was an attempt on EA’s part to get gamers to purchase the full game I am sure, but recently an EA spokesperson stated that they will instead extend online play for another two weeks:
