The Settlers 7 [http://www.amazon.com/Settlers-7-Paths-Kingdom-Pc/dp/B00347BRU8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1278691955&sr=1-1] DRM woes apparently remain unsettled, as many users are still reporting difficulties connecting to Ubisoft's servers weeks after the game's release.
The Settlers series may not be as high-profile as Ubisoft's [http://www.amazon.com/Assassins-Creed-Playstation-3/dp/B000P46NMA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1278691978&sr=1-1] always-on internet requirement.
At the end of March it came to light that gamers in Australia had been Eurogamer [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/99566-Australian-Gamers-Struggling-Under-Ubisoft-DRM] today that the servers are still choking out.
"Settlers 7 players have encountered difficulties playing the game over the [Easter] holiday weekend due to issues with servers that do matchmaking in multiplayer mode and that keep track of profiles, campaign progression and stats in both solo and multi modes," Ubisoft said.
