You guys need to stop with the "everybody is a liar mentality"
Sim City is online. All you have to do is go look at all the many many cities and regions to see that many people have been playing. And playing a lot. The leaderboards were all filled up with cities with huge populations and accomplishments. I have 3 Cities now one with 250k people.
A LOT of people are actually playing and having fun. If anything it's the pirates and anti DRM people who see an oportunity don't even own the game who are doing a lot of complaining and lying. They do it with every single game.
Yeah we know the servers couldn't handle the load and a lot of people are actually having trouble. But when people say they are getting on and have proof, and are posting screenshots to share their city, or asking advise on how best to play, then take it for fact that a lot actually are playing too and enjoying the game.
I played 12 hours yesterday. The game is a great game. That's my opinion yes. It's also the opinion of all the game websites before they had to play on the servers. So it IS a good game. Just it's having trouble with the huge load of players and the surprise it was on how many wanted it.
You are mixing me up with others, i have as of yet accused noone, don't really need to tbh as its obvious who the shills are.
As has been said all you need to do is look at the EA forums, evidence is all over there.
Just like Diablo 3 I'll wait until all the bugs get worked out before buying.
It is fun watching all the nerd rage going on though. Every site I go to it's pretty much the same people posting over and over the same rehashed info and BS, most of which was just made up by some other person posting there. There are millions of people that own this game and are playing, I'm sure people are having connection problems, but it looks like most of the crying is just using the connection issues as a vehicle to bitch about DRM and the game not being exactly the same as SC4.
Just look at similar releases for games like Civ 5 and Diablo 3. Millions of people are enjoying the games, while an irritating vocal few bash the games non-stop, give it 1 star on amazon and act as if the world is out to get them because a videogame isn't exactly how they want it.
You have no evidence of it other than accusing members of this forum, some members here for a good many years of being shills, because they don't have the same level of problems you have. That's just unacceptable without evidence.
So if you have evidence feel free to present it, until then I'm just going to keep reporting you for attacking other forum members.
And everyone on the EA forums is still saying unable to connect... No "wait times" or anything, just unable to even start the game. The forum is blowing up with posts about it.
.....................Of course, I'm ready for the 3-4 same people to jump in here claiming they've had the game running for 12 hours straight.
F- off. Nobody but pcslookout is acting like there are zero problems. We all know there are. Us "3-4 same people" are simply stating that the game is playable in long spurts, it's not 100% down like everyone is trying to make it out to be. Half of you don't even own the game, you're just in here for entertainment.
I like how the few of us are either lying or exaggerating but there's no possible way a bunch of children on the EA forums are all telling the 100% truth. Right?
Done with this thread, you guys continue with your circle jerk.

I agree. Done with hearing SpaciallyAware's hate mongering. Obviously anything anybody says is wrong in his eyes, and we are all lier's. I do not appreciate being called a lier by somebody who obviously has so much free time they can just troll the EA forums so they can say "See... See... people have issues! Everybody that says they played the game is a lier and is just being paid off by EA!"

Ok, I grant you that one is pretty bad.
I got in this morning, ~5:30-7:00AM EST. NA East 2. I'd like to see one of you claim that I'm an EA shill.So, is anyone other than our 3-4 "very special" members able to connect to ANY of the north american servers?
