Atlus confirmed it a couple of days ago: they're shutting down the Demon's Souls servers on Feb 28, 2018.

So if you've never played the game or like me fell short from finishing it, now's your final shot at the "true experience".
Even if this doesn't affect gameplay all that much, I'm gonna miss the player ghosts and "helpful" messages. Feels like an integral part of the experience is going to go away forever. Sucks for trading too.
EDIT: Just booted the game, here's the list of features that will disappear by Feb 28, 2018:
-Multiplayer (cooperative, invading other worlds, challenge play)
-Hint messages
-Other players' bloodstains
-Wandering apparitions
-Viewing rankings
