SimCity [Megathread]

[SpreadsPlague]

thought it was obvious we're debating always-on DRM not just DRM

Currently chuckling over the kids who are insistent beyond belief over always-on DRM.

Yes, it sucks for everyone.

What are you supposed to do about it?  Until there are huge large scale boycotts of these games, which are practically too irresistible for such a thing, nothing will happen.

Servers seem to be fine now, I played steady for about three hours

[Shocklink]

Has anyone had issues with the game in regards of "flaws"? Like how buses and street cars are used inefficiently?

Also has anyone had an issue with water? I seem to run out really fast.

If you guys want, add me so we can start a region

Edit: Always DRM sucks ass, becuase this adds more control to EA, HOW? Think about it. After 4-5 years of the servers staying up and they release a new Simcity, they can simple knock down the older server and force you to buy the next Simcity. This game will be useless in the next 5 years unless someone makes a C____, which I plan on getting as soon as possible.

As far as i understand it's not working correctly, Rain is supposed to fill things back up.

And I'm not sure there's a single person who won't grab the private server when it comes out or whatever.

never place a university

let someone else do it

TAXES.
I had to bulldoze an entire high tech city because of taxes, people kept abandoning the building and it just got too bad to handle.

lower the taxes...

Why not the University? I always do, regardless if other cities have it or not.

No wonder, I run out of water so fast I have to buy it off the market for an eye every time.

I always go Hi tech in my cities, I go negative thanks to lack of water but business allows me to stay afloat

I was gonna say the same thing, give me 5 minutes

Edit: Oh wait I forgot, this stuff is happening right now

I have boycotted EA and Activision for years, still going strong.

7pm GMT? Do they mean 7pm on the 7th or the 6th? Either it's very delayed or you've got a long wait.

Its the servers, not me. I am in Florida EST which means it should have been fixed but then again im not the one fixing EA at the moment.

I believe its time we make a new thread so we can upload pictures of a Reagion and have a "Blockland" region, how about it?

Turk/Piare has a Blockland region already set up on NA East 2 I think.  Or EU East 1.  I can't remember.
