ProStreet and Carbon only

As our community very much knows by now, some of the Need for Speed games include achievements for beating EA moderators in online races. Unlike some other viral achievements, players who have already earned this achievement can not pass it on themselves; you really do have to beat an EA moderator to get the achievement. That was until recently.

EA has realised that demand for these achievements far outstrips the availability of the moderators in http://www.trueachievements.com/NFS-ProStreet-xbox-360.htm and Need for Speed: Carbon, especially as players become more desperate for the EA Moderator achievement in ProStreet with the impending closure of the servers. As a result, they have advertised for players who are willing to help spread these achievements on the @NeedforSpeed Twitter account. Players who reply will be set up with moderator status and will be able to help spread these achievements much quicker than EA would be able to do on their own.

Some players have already been set up with moderator status. One of these players is rekikire x360a, who has been set up with moderator status for ProStreet. He requested that we bring your attention to the six sessions that he has set up to enable him to spread this achievement before April 13th. Here are links to these sessions:

Saturday, 7th April at 7PM EDT - Boosting Gaming Session for Need for Speed: ProStreet
Sunday, 8th April at 5PM EDT - Boosting Gaming Session for Need for Speed: ProStreet
Monday, 9th April at 5PM EDT- Boosting Gaming Session for Need for Speed: ProStreet
Tuesday, 10th April at 5PM EDT - Boosting Gaming Session for Need for Speed: ProStreet
Wednesday, 11th April at 5PM EDT - Boosting Gaming Session for Need for Speed: ProStreet
Thursday, 12th April at 5PM EDT - Boosting Gaming Session for Need for Speed: ProStreet


Once again I'd like to request that you please be patient during these sessions, and rekikire x360a will try and get around to helping you as soon as possible. Here are some session notes for you so that you can prepare:

Racing in Portland International Raceway II. (BOTTOM RIGHT OF RACEDAY MENU)

Coke Zero / Lithium Energizer pack is necessary to matchmake with me. If the game tells you to re-download it, do it.

Once you get the achievement please leave the lobby to make room for other people.
Thanks to the members of the community who sent this one in!

This is good. Taking pressure off the 2 moderators that have had to take all the strain!

Awesome that gamers can step up and help others. I would but it's not worth losing my 100% to add EA bastards' games to my tag with their server closure nonsense.

There's another TA member who got set up yesterday as a moderator as well. But I'll let him out himself or the TA investigative team figure it out.

I submitted my name to be a mod, and they said that everyone had been set up, but I still haven't been able to give the achievement away.

Edit: This was a couple of days ago. My replays to their tweets show up on my page, but not on theirs. Twitter doesn't make much sense to me...

Though I think the fact that the moderator achievements aren't viral are stupid (as it seems a lot of others do too), at least EA are doing SOMETHING about it. Maybe the 'Worst Company in America' status is getting to them? :)

Either way it is still good that they are putting in a little more effort than they used to

I think I've just requested a setup. Not sure if I've replied to the tweet, followed NFS or re-tweeted to all? I'll get back to you If I hear anything.

Wow.

I will give them a capitalized 'wow' if they put the icing on the NFS Cake and fix the Urban Battle achieve from Carbon too.

Please tell me you're joking:

http://consumerist.com/2012/04/congratulations-ea-you-are-th...

EA is the only company who charges you to play online if you buy the game used, not to mention they have and continuing to shut down servers for games that have a multiplayer following, BUT STILL SELL MP DLC, even though they shut down the server making it impossible to even use the DLC.
