Black Valentine (10 February 2010 - 15 February 2010)
To celebrate the game's 1st anniversary and Valentine's Day, World Tendency has been set to Pure Black!
*1-Year Anniversary Event - Black Valentine - Thank you very much for playing Demon's Souls. Thanks to your overwhelming support, Demon's Souls has reached its first one-year anniversary. All of us on staff thank you from the bottom of our hearts. To celebrate this anniversary, we will be holding a special event. | Contents | Soul Tendency goes Full Black in all areas | Time | 2/10 (Wed) 11 noon - 2/15 (Mon) 11 noon Please take advantage of this special event to check out Black Phantom and Full Black events not normally available. Can the power of love save the world from the control of the black souls?! The answer depends on how you play. *When "my heart's breaking…", summoning your friends and fighting together will open the way.
- Note 1 - Soul Tendency is actually World Tendency, i.e. all World Tendencies are default to Pure Black
- Note 2 - "My heart's breaking…" is a preset message that can be left in the world via the message system. Still no confirmation regarding the last line.
Demon's Souls Atlus (North American version)
Atlus USA 1st Birthday/Halloween 2010 (8 October 2010 - 31 October 2010)
According to Kotaku, and the Official Atlus Forum Atlus USA is celebrating it's one year birthday with a Pure White World Tendency from 6th October til 18th October and a Pure Black WT from 18th til Halloween.
Valentines Day Event (13 February 2010 - 16 February 2010)
To commemorate Valentine's Day, we'll host another World Tendency Event for Demon's Souls. For those keeping score at home, we've previously made the World Tendency Black for Halloween, and more recently made things white for the holidays. Since V Day is somewhat divisive, in that some people feel bright and happy and others not so much, we’re going to leave which way we actually shift to you… Source: Official site
This Valentine's Day, you get to choose what the World Tendency will be for the weekend! Head on over to the above link to vote!
Update: The votes are in!

ATLUS Server Shutdown 2012 (ongoing, messages preserved here for posterity)
Game announcement from March through mid-May 2012:
At the end of May 31st, 2012, the Demon's Souls online servers will shut down forever. We will let members of our ATLUS Faithful mailing list vote on what the World Tendency should shift to, once for May 1-15, and again for May 16-21. We invite all users to log in on May 31st to join us in celebrating and remembering. Thank you to all of you, you brave adventurers of Boletaria, for your messages, your bloodstains, your alliances, your invasions. You made Demon's Souls the amazing online experience it was. We are honored to have been a part of it, and we are forever grateful for you passion, dedication, and support. Umbasa!
The results of the voting determined the first half of May as PWWT, the second half as PBWT, but Pure Black did not occur after May 15th.
Game announcement late May 2012:
Originally scheduled to shut down at the end of May, 2012, server operation has been extended.
We are excited to be able to continue to invest in and support our fans as they have continued to invest in and support us and Demon's Souls. Future extensions of the North American servers are possible, provided user activity and interest remain constant.
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND TENDENCY EVENT: Pure White World Tendency through Monday!
Server Shutdown February 28th 2018:
The Demon's Souls Online Service has been terminated.
Return to Boletaria: Yuvi's Private Server 2018:
- Go to Network PS3 Settings > Internet Connection Settings.
- Here, press 'Custom' and 'Enter Manually'.
- Change your Primary DNS to 142.93.245.186
If problems arise regardless, please contact us.
As always have, the following features are present in Yuvi's server:
No level restrictions in place.
World Tendency Rotation on a reasonable basis. Possibility to include polls or change it for special events.
All versions of Demon's Souls are able to connect to the server. Cross-region play is however not a possibility.
As always, Yuvi's intention will always be trying to mimic a near perfect online Demon's Souls experience, for the sake of game preservation. It won't stop adding nice little things like the aforementioned cool tendency changes.
Note: Connections between players are still P2P. The server simply allows them to happen. Think of it as Dark Souls Connectivity Mod
