Simcity

[Wiglaf]

Go for whatever specialization you want. I'm mostly clueless about trading. Origin username is DurangoKeats

[regexcellent]

The power plant town of Fukushima has a town hall

and origin is not showing results for DurangoKeats.

SORRY GUYNEMER CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE FUN WE'RE HAVING

[regexcellent]

The game actually works now if you get on a higher numbered server. Seriously ya'll should just go ahead and jump in.

[Wiglaf]

Ninot should join too.

[snoopy369]

Glad you guys are having fun

[regexcellent]

Unfortunately Fukushima, perhaps because of Fuk's similarity to ****, is not an appropriate name so I'm going with Pripyat instead

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. - Maxis SVP Lucy Bradshaw

It's not "made" to be played online; it has to be played online. If you can't get a stable connection, you're not having ANY experience.

Way to **** up what could have been a pretty great single-player game along with your reputation, Maxis.

So, did they reenable Cheetah mode yet?

[Wiglaf]

Reg, you're showing up as offline on Origin. Maybe disable some privacy settings? Can't see you.

So, did they reenable Cheetah mode yet?

No

Also try sending to ObamasEars for invites if DurangoKeats isn't working. Origin might make you send it to my true ID (ObamasEars).

[regexcellent]

Yeah I managed to add you and you're invited to the game.

[Guynemer]

Ms. Bradshaw just confirmed on Twitter that there will be no offline mode for those of us hoping otherwise.

[Tupac Shakur]

Of course there won't be. You have to be online for EA's DRM to work, and they care far more about that than providing a quality experience to their customers.

[Guynemer]

I HAD HOPE, DAMMIT!

I just really, really wanted to like this. It's clear it just isn't for me. I won't begrudge others enjoying it, though.

Maybe if the price drops substantially (like, to 20 bucks or so), and they increase tile size, I'll try it down the road.

[Tupac Shakur]

Don't ever buy it. EA won't learn anything from this debacle if there's no monetary impact to drive their ****tiness home to them.
