Why not just add more servers and reduce the capacity of the current servers... It's probably to late to do this though, since this is just like what happen with Star Wars: The Old Republic, were they added a ton of servers just to watch the population die due to the fact nobody could play it the first few days.

The first GAF server I was on... oh god was awful. I am positive that none of my neighbors built schools (including me) I had criminals from 4 cities running around on a mountaintop city with only 1 main road that was constantly backed up.
Im guessing that they really didnt think it through, and expected their servers to be able to handle the load, or they just didnt give a fuck and release the game before their servers were ready. Or maybe Maxis was in charge of the servers instead of, for example, the EA people who setup the TOR servers, and they had no idea wtf to do.

I would say that Diablo 3 didn't teach EA anything, but I am sure it taught them that gamers will put up with a subpar launch and still support and play the game so why make sure the launch goes smoothly?
How long did it take for Diablo 3 to get sorted out? A week or 2?

Alright, just woke up so Discovery Delta 2 people send me a message on origin and I'll invite you. Servers are working as on now so there should be no issues.
Edit: Having a garbage problem, have lots of people complaining. When it says 5,216 of 36,007 am I only collecting a fifth of the garbage everyday? What do I do to correct this?

Was having the same kind of issues with some friends. Likely a server/region syncing issue.

More garbage trucks or second dump? Also, heavy traffic will prevent your garbage trucks from picking it up in a timely manner. You can also try to get a neighboring city to send in garbage trucks.
What? Care to explain?
How does one deal w/ traffic effectively? I've got busses going, streetcars along the main street...
Yeah my boyfriend has lost every city he has made since launch because of these server issues. They either mysteriously vanish or don't save or the game refuses to let him access them any further.
Not sure how this launch could be any worse. He either can't get into the game, or when he does all his work just goes up in smoke.

I didn't think anything could be worse than Diablo 3's initial launch. But this... this takes the cake. I couldn't play a single game uninterrupted, whether it's a client crash or a server issue.

Use park & Rides as well, place a whole bunch of them around. Upgrade street density, use avenues & Streetcars, set up passenger rail,
dont be afraid to bulldoze an entire neighborhood to re-plan the roads for efficiency, its pretty much a necessity in this game.
Bus terminals!!! so critical for commuting to other cities in region.

Queuing for a single player game now. We have officially hit an all time low...

It's a hotfix until they get the main problem resolved. I would rather play the game without them for a bit.

I guess we'll see when it's applied. If the cities that managed to get synced are still there after the hotfix, then I wouldn't see any reason why they wouldn't work when they reinstate the leaderboards and achievements.

Amazing that he got 98% of that 100k to use public transportation.
Nobody has answered this yet, so:
Resetting the entire region is like deleting it and restarting it - all resources and cities are reset, but so is your money. It is literally like abandoning it and leaving it to rot in a little corner of the server where nobody will ever find it, while you start a new one
Is there some specific place to place these? I have a terminal downtown... are they more effective near the highway?
Such a learning curve! Not many of the mechanics are explained :\
Demolishing roads also gets rid of buildings.
Near the exit I placed mine.
Cant really do it. Best bet is to pause game and bulldoze everything.
So just save up a ton of money and then basically start over from scratch?
Get rid of all fire protection, start a fire and slap cheetah speed on and walk away for a while.

Get a big stash of cash, pause the game, turn off or destroy your service buildings, and then start demolishing roads.
Anything you plop will take priority over RCI buildings.
Was at 80k for a while, decided to demolish 3 blocks of an area, gained 25k residents.
Too bad it's still in the middle of where my coal is. Just going to save up, relocate my city hall (again for the third time) just to have access to the coal and build the stupid boat building as well.
