The latest news on the servers going offline was suppose to be the end of this month but now it seems that they shall stay on in North American with no end date at this current moment:

ATLUS said today it’s extending the North American online servers for Demon’s Souls. The game was originally going offline at the end of this month. No specific time table has been set, but ATLUS said the servers will be left on for the “foreseeable future.”

“We’re incredibly excited to be able to announce that the Demon’s Souls online experience will persist for a while longer,” stated Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at ATLUS.  “While it originally seemed as though it would be unfeasible for us to continue to sustain the servers, a number of developments have made it possible for us to continue to invest in and support our fans as they have continued to invest in and support us and Demon’s Souls.

“For all the gamers who have yet to discover the game’s amazing online experience, we’re happy to say you can still log on and find out why Demon’s Souls is still regarded by many as one of the finest games of all time.”

ATLUS won’t rule out the possibility of future extensions of the North American servers, provided user activity and interest remain constant, the publisher said.

All in all, it’ll allow those fellows who have joined the Dark Souls community a chance to get their hands on Demon’s Souls and test the online experience in a different game, the game that set the bar for challenging and skill in the world of rpgs it would seem sometimes.
