SimCity V (2013) - screens/artwork and information

ran_out · 9 Mar 2013 at 13:35

Hoping I can actually get on and play some of this later after work, Couldn't get on to a server at all yesterday except to play about 3 mins of the tutorial - are things improving at all yet?

Apart from just getting kicked, i've played about 8 hours last night/this morning.

Been running fine for me (touch wood)

Im tempted to get this from GMG but this server issue is questioning me weather I should

ea/maxis are giving a free game to everyone with an activated copy as a way of saying sorry :eek:

Oh look at that, a flying pig...

Just tried to jump in, login is closed, I knew I should have carried on after playing the tutorial at 5am

Maintenance: We are taking down EU West 4 to upgrade it’s hardware, which will allow for a larger capacity and faster response times. While we implement this upgrade, access to this server will be unavailable. Rest assured, no saves or data will be lost...

Does anyone reckon if I bought this before the 18th they would still honour the free game?

Anyone know if there are any sites selling just the CD key cheaper than origin? I want to give this a try now that they are starting to sort out some issues, but I'm not going to pay the origin price, and I hate having a physical copy if I can get it digitally.

GIBURROWS · 9 Mar 2013 at 13:47

After reading the last 24 pages of this thread has anything changed server wise? I do not plan on buying this game yet but it looks so good.

Have EA ever bought out a company and made them better?

Maybe this will teach those sellouts at Maxis a thing or two?

Of course they will, its like a promotion in buying SimCity.

Guys, go buy Tropico 4 off steam for £7 and play that till SimCity works.

Would be funny if they gifted everyone bad rats or something.

Green Man Gaming is probably the cheapest place that has stock atm.

Just remember that the only people voicing are the people with issues, I've played since yesterday with no disconnects or lag of any kind.
