Hi Ocean, How many regions can you have tied to one origin account?

You can have up to 10 regions (in total, regardless of whether they're private or shared with other players)

whaaat?
i mean, i realize since each city is always-going (sort of) and they'll have to keep them all going through their stupid-ass internet-only system, but really?

i guess the 10 regions will be close to the equivalent of one old simcity region in size

What parts did you not like?

The overall feel of the game is nothing like the last titles.

You basically can't do stuff without neighbors, so being independent is forgeted to hell.
You have to 'specialize' in something otherwise you will fail
And really most of all the aesthetics are horrid.

Imo the game just doesn't feel right.

edit;
To improve my low made point, if you've played the older Simcity games, then this one really just feels like a way for EA to get money off of nostalgic players who remember the old games without actually putting effort into making something.

I'm not sure about this game either. The houses make the sims 1 tv sounds when you click them though.

I like the game, and I've played quite a bit of Sim City 4 and 3000.

You can only make a casino town as of right now, how did you get all this from this very limited beta?

Game looks really dreadful without low lighting on, But low lighting gives me 30fps and min gives me 140fps.
