Alright Great GAF Region on NA West 2, I'm dead in the water until commuting is activated again. Industry will not stop bitching about "Wah wah wah, our workers aren't educated enough!," even though I have a full capacity elementary school, high school, community college (I deleted this out of rage. FUCK YOU, INDUSTRY!), and university. My processor business is booming though. Farming all the necessary materials in my own city with minimal imports.
How expensive are these servers?

That's just BS lol. The game's executable isn't even 64 bit, it'd probably use only 1 - 1.5 GB maximum. 2 GB at the most which is the default maximum for all 32bit Win32 executables unless it's Large Address Aware enabled, which would then allow it to access up to 4GB RAM. Turn down them graphix and you should be good to go.........
Until the login screen that is.

Thanks, I saw your invite. I'll be on in 20 minutes or so.
Actually, Will Wright wasn't heavily involved with SimCity 3000, and 4. The Sims and Spore were his babies during the last decade.
I'm not sure who's to blame in this case though. I thought SimCity 3000 and The Sims were pretty well supported and both were very mod friendly.
Logged on now
Interesting. Thanks for telling me that. Yeah the servers will still be the problem there.

Been playing for 3 hours with no problems at all. And now that everything is running smoothly I'm loving this game.

Are there still coupon codes for this game?
Can you provide a tiny bit more detail? What features are you enjoying the most?
I haven't been following the game much since it was announced but from what I've seen over the past couple of days it looks quite fun (the obvious issues aside). I've heard conflicting reports though, so I have a few questions.
1) Is anybody playing by themselves? Are you limited in any way by playing alone or is it just more fun to play with others?
2) I have a fairly unreliable connection, it drops out randomly (sometimes quite often) but only briefly before it reconnects. Would I be kicked from the game or can I keep playing just fine as long as it reconnects?
3) What's your FPS like / what settings / what specs? I haven't heard a thing about performance so I assume it's running great for everyone?
Cheers

Mostly just how easy it is to identify a problem and deal with it.
Been also toying around with the specializations and I'm now making a good deal of money exporting oil.
Probably late but one of the best reviews for the game so far.
I can't wait to see the super limited choices they will offer lol.

"Probably".
Some screens:
Shame they don't capture the MLAA, looks much better in game with it.
I'm sure Dragon Age II will be on the list.

I got an open region available. Got 2 cities claimed but I think it's a 12 region city. Username is MattyIce1982 and its on east Europe server 1 called Atlanta. It's the only server I could play on but it runs fine for me and it would be great to get some tourist to my gambling city lol.

Since yesterday night, I've been able to play fine on the European servers. Got my region their so I guess I'll stick with it now.
I've never really had any problem getting into the game. Some issues here and there loading up, or claiming a new city, but that's it. Only one claim problem tonight, and I tried it again right away and it worked.
The lack of regional interaction in private regions (aka "single player") is frustrating. It's quite impossible to have one city that does everything, you have to spread things out, but it's pointless without the connectivity between cities.

Just played with a group of GAFfers for about 2 hours with no issues. Looks like they've really beefed up their servers.
Try NA 4.

Oh what the hell? I just got on, realistically for the first time since Tuesday (not for a lack of trying). I literally can see your city in the Region map!
I've been able to play non-stop pretty much non-stop here in Aus all this afternoon, which is prime playing time in USA, so I'm confident in saying that the game is running better than it has been the last two days.
Saying that I'm ready to start again on another region - I've made a mess of this one and want to apply the lessons I've learned so far.

So finally, i got home at a respectable hour and got to pop the game in... install... update... and...
it all worked fine? Way to blow shit out of proportion guys!
Needless to say, I have no problems with this game so far. I haven't built my city up enough yet to complain about the size restriction, but I can see it becoming an issue soon enough especially after I finally started playing around with curved roads.

I totally kid! I feel for you guys that have actually been available to play the last 3 days but haven't been able to
