3/8/2013 4:21:13 PM

i don't understand why i'm having such worse luck than you guys, i have maybe 30 minutes of play time

3/8/2013 4:29:30 PM

ive been on for maybe two hours now

i just got in... i still cant load my primay city i made.

3/8/2013 4:30:25 PM

what server? i'm trying to join NA East 2 right now

3/8/2013 4:37:20 PM

Na east 2

3/8/2013 5:05:24 PM

I started a great works for us - it cost like $1M. I don't know how long the "permit" process works or if it's a part of the game or just a glitch.

One thing that's pissing me off is that the add-ons to the city hall are supposed to affect the region but so far it hasn't, making it nearly impossible to run a city to its full potential

3/8/2013 6:09:28 PM

Can someone invite me? tmmercer84@yahoo.com

3/8/2013 6:57:46 PM

So is disabling sharing resources how they got the servers working? I started another city next to mine and it says I can buy the power. When I chose to no power is ever bought and people complain about power.

3/8/2013 6:59:38 PM

It times out when I search for people and can you not search for regions to join?

3/8/2013 7:23:01 PM

can someone send me an invite..

my origin id: DZ84

3/8/2013 7:32:58 PM

^^^ no idea, but that's definitely happening to me, too

3/8/2013 7:43:01 PM

i was able to share resourceslike power ... but i cantsell any goods now. i have storage lots. and am losing money.

i lost population, so my tax revenue is far lower (175k to 75k)... and then couple that with dick all for exports...

Invite meeeeeeee

3/8/2013 8:14:27 PM

i have dude. check th envelope when you log in...

3/8/2013 8:26:11 PM

lol, been sending 8 trash trucks from one of my cities to the other for a day now...and none of it is actually working.

Sending 4 to hockey town now

[Edited on March 8, 2013 at 8:35 PM. Reason : ]

3/8/2013 8:34:30 PM

i dont think i have surplus trash thugh. i burn mine. lol

i build an airport, too.

just have to figure out why my trade depot isnt shipping

does anyone have a refinery?

3/8/2013 8:37:05 PM

So the region wall doesn't work and I can't buy excess power from Hockey Town with a nuclear power plant. Awesome.

3/8/2013 8:41:32 PM

yeah resources are broken from what i hear. they did work. i sent terribopolis all my poop at one point

3/8/2013 9:00:46 PM

I honestly wonder if it's broken or disabled.

Also, I can't believe that when they add more servers that the servers actually get less busy. Why didn't anyone think of that before today?

3/8/2013 9:06:20 PM

^^ hahaha, what a douche

and i can't play anymore tonight - the people installing my new internet fucking cut the old line while digging up the yard and the neighbors wireless is just dogshit

as far as a refinery is concerned, my sims keep begging for one

[Edited on March 8, 2013 at 9:20 PM. Reason : ]

3/8/2013 9:19:39 PM

I'm thinking of leaving my tww town alone until they fix the resource sharing.

3/8/2013 9:35:07 PM

134,000 tourists in one month

3/8/2013 9:45:56 PM

this game dead yet? I heard no one is playing this lol

3/8/2013 9:50:17 PM

^^ In a private region?

3/8/2013 9:56:00 PM

Yeah, private region with 2 other people

haha, I love their statement. "Request a refund 'here'. I mean, we won't give you one, but this is where you request it."

there goes all my trade depot transactions. just made like a million bucks in 2 minutes

3/8/2013 10:53:24 PM

Following this failure has been more entertaining than the actual game is, probably.

3/8/2013 10:54:30 PM

While this whole thing has been amateur as hell from EA, the reaction from the gamers has been equally pathetic. OH MAH GAWD I MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT THREE DAYS BEFORE THE GAME IS STABLE GIVE ME A REFUND RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE

Quote :

" Here’s a quick update on the problems we were experiencing with SimCity – and a little something extra for people who bought the game. The server issues which began at launch have improved significantly as we added more capacity. But some people are still experiencing response and stability problems that we’re working fast to address. So what went wrong? The short answer is: a lot more people logged on than we expected. More people played and played in ways we never saw in the beta. OK, we agree, that was dumb, but we are committed to fixing it. In the last 48 hours we increased server capacity by 120 percent. It’s working – the number of people who have gotten in and built cities has improved dramatically. The number of disrupted experiences has dropped by roughly 80 percent. So we’re close to fixed, but not quite there. I’m hoping to post another update this weekend to let everyone know that the launch issues are behind us. Something Special for Your Trouble The good news is that SimCity is a solid hit in all major markets. The consensus among critics and players is that this is fundamentally a great game. But this SimCity is made to be played online, and if you can’t get a stable connection, you’re NOT having a good experience. So we’re not going to rest until we’ve fixed the remaining server issues. And to get us back in your good graces, we’re going to offer you a free PC download game from the EA portfolio. On March 18, SimCity players who have activated their game will receive an email telling them how to redeem their free game. I know that’s a little contrived – kind of like buying a present for a friend after you did something crummy. But we feel bad about what happened. We’re hoping you won’t stay mad and that we’ll be friends again when SimCity is running at 100 percent. SimCity is a GREAT game and the people who made it are incredibly proud. Hang in there – we’ll be providing more updates throughout the weekend. "

3/8/2013 11:04:06 PM

Hopefully it works by the 18th so I can buy it and take advantage of the free game deal.

3/8/2013 11:16:08 PM

1) its already been longer than 3 days, 2) there has been very little communication from EA, this is their biggest statement so far and it took this long, and 3) there is no guarantee this will be resolved in another 3days. Its not crazy to wan a refund.

3/8/2013 11:19:16 PM

EA claimed that they had to make it always-online because Glassbox was so intricate and detailed that people's computers wouldn't be able to handle it, so they had to run some of it on the servers...
And then it was the servers, themselves, that couldn't handle it. Now THAT is irony.

3/8/2013 11:29:18 PM

any preference on the great work next to hockey town? debating what we should build.

solar array? seems silly with having nukes. i'm between airport and space port

3/8/2013 11:30:34 PM

i'll take a free game

but i doubt they have anything else i want to play

^ I just want to see something built. I'll pitch in what I can.

[Edited on March 8, 2013 at 11:31 PM. Reason : ]

3/8/2013 11:30:36 PM

ive got the money. depending what we want, we may need other resources. i'm working toward manufacturing computers, which the space port needs.

3/8/2013 11:42:23 PM

how can i get in with you guys?

3/8/2013 11:49:30 PM

pm me your origin name

3/8/2013 11:53:57 PM

Umm, if I can ever draw power from the nuke plant I would probably prefer a spaceport. I can contribute some money an alloy to either the project or processors.

I really want resource sharing to come back though. It's screwing me over on tourism more than anything else at this point. I also just built Brandenburg Gate so we'll see how cool that turns out to be.
