As we're coming up to the 10th anniversary (March 6 2022). Are many still playing? Are there any who plan to jump back in on the anniversary?

Still playing, there's still so many reasonable goals to achieve.

Not really playing currently but the game is installed and (almost) ready to go. I say almost because while the game itself is good to go including enabled console (I think) I need to download and configure Flawless Widescreen or something like that again so I can run the game in 21:9 ratio again before I consider playing a few rounds. And I'll probably totally suck, Anthem's awesome (Interceptor) movement has totally ruined almost every other game for me... although I have been playing around 230 hours Outriders last year which has some similarities with ME3MP...

I'm surprised the servers are still up. Still getting in a game or two when I need a break. Just reinstalled ME1 and ME2 with the latest ALOT texture mods. Will be giving those two another go soon.

I always come back to it… and it seems I am by far not the only one- considering I almost always find a match rather quickly

Laptop is charging, been in the shop then waiting on a part for two weeks now. Might get in some games tonight but we’ll see. Have a tonne of shows to catch up on I didn’t want to watch on my tablet. I also don’t intend to be sober for much longer today...

Still play the game here and there.
I'm off work that week anyway (birthday) so might do a generic and uninspired "10 YEARS!" livestream.
Maybe those Dogs running N7S might do something for it, who knows, it very soon after their Valentines Day Event. But, if the manipulative cunts who run that server have some semblance of sense left they might cash in on it and the buzz the Anniversary will bring to casual MP fans.
Casual Fans might come back for a day or 2 then disappear. So most likely scenario is that March 6 will just be another N7Day "oh i remember playing this back in the day" thing. Also generic social media posts from Bioware/EA.
(I gotta say, I like that M6 is close to N7)

Only if someone will carry me. 10 years and I still don't have a lone wolf or BotB banner, dont even have combat mastery... n7hq.masseffect.com/m/home/overview/?name=altbouli&platform=xboxIt can't be that hard... I mean, if *I* managed to do it, then surely anybody can.
As for the game... I had some good times. Met a lot of good people, some of which I call friend to this day. I am very happy I got into multiplayer, even if I had some misgivings starting it. And I miss it, I really do. I miss my blueberries and my fat turians and a lot of other characters. I am very happy I founds BSN, it made me appreciate the "less powerful" characters and I think I was able to enjoy the game more because of it.
And yet... I am happy I moved on. I was on a point where I wasn't playing anything else, other than ME3MP and good as it may have been, it was limiting me. I'm glad I moved on. The memories are bittersweet, but I'll always cherish the sweet part more.
So here's to another 10 years... may they be as good as the ones behind us

The 'Best of the Best' banner wasn't so hard as 95% of it could be achieved by essentially grinding. The trick was the Lone Wolf challenge on Gold which does separate the wolf and lambs. I got mine eventually on Giant with Kroguard, backing around the map in the usual clucth style. It wasn't fast.

Easy to control. I like doing Glacier myself, never enjoyed the long drawn out solos. Failed a Gold Sniper Challenge after an hour and getting a badly spawned Escort. So I do glacier with the mindset of "Finish fast or fail fast"

So here's to another 10 years... may they be as good as the ones behind us Lol I think you misunderstand, its not difficult im just lazy when it comes to challenges. I could go for an overcover grab or I could go for a claymore headset. Guess which 1 I tend to go for all the time... As for solo's I dont enjoy solo's. Forced myself to do 1 or 2 gold solo's but couldn't be bothered to do any more. This game is great but I spent a few years basically playing nothing but ME3 multiplayer. These days I come back every so often and play a few games so I dont burn myself out. I now have a similar problem with Warframe (over 1000 hours play time and can't play it for long).

Not sure what I actually need to do for the Botb banner, I probably have some of the challenges done but if it involves solo's I'm just not interested.

You actually have the two requisite Gold solos, and only need 2 more Silvers. POC man! And 36 more grabs. If you go for it, you can get that in 2 Bronze solos.
The one that will take the longest is 33 promotions. I figured you could maybe buy this with the shit-ton of credits most maxed inventory longterm players have, but you only have 765. You must be a JEP-aholic! So yeah, that's a grind.
Obviously not your thing, but since we were talking about it ...

Man, grabs are my single most amazing favorite thing in ME3 MP! [well, on any given day, it might also be non-stop biotic booms or freeze explosions] They are soooo missed in MEA MP.

10 years and I still don't have a lone wolf or BotB banner, dont even have combat mastery... I'm missing a lot of the challenge stuff as well I think. I just never bothered with using kits I don't like or weapons that suck and in general couldn't care less about challenges and achievements. I have 100%'ed some games because it came naturally or because it was actually fun completing some requirements - but I have stopped putting myself through a grind I don't enjoy the least bit a while ago.

Let's face it MEMP was ridiculously grindy. I have 1,050 hours and probably need another 500 hours to max my manifest. Likely won't happen.

I have 100%'ed some games because it came naturally or because it was actually fun completing some requirements - but I have stopped putting myself through a grind I don't enjoy the least bit a while ago. Agreed, I play games for fun not just for challenge grinds (which is why I'm playing Warframe less and less, that and games like Destiny seem to be 90% about grinding for progress and it gets really tiresome). Im at that age where my game time is more limited so I just want to sit back and relax and play something I enjoy. Could never understand people on my friends lists who will rush to get all achievements/trophies and then never touch a game again because there is nothing for them to 'earn'. Or in extreme cases they won't play a game if they don't think they can 100% it. Mass Effect multiplayer isn't too bad honestly but still not worth my time grinding solos when I hate doing them, but I will still come back and play it because I still enjoy the character and weapon variety, at least thats my view

As a console player (haven't owned a PC in 15 years) that doesn't work, but it's nice to know that on PC people can just do what they want.
