Just got home from work and looking to play for the first time basically, finally got an invite to the RR region...and it says it can't load the region. Friend request from Agraza, won't let me accept it. Town I created for a few minutes last night, unable to load.

Yea I think the game has taken a total shit now, when I try to load a new region the game crashes to desktop; when I try to resume an old region, cannot load region... switch servers and it makes me do the tutorial again and the tutorial freezes on startup...
Can anyone even connect to a game? I can login and get the game browser up, but it doesn't give me any public games. Creating my own game ends up in an endless load(30min+)

I just logged out after playing the last 4 or so hours without few if any problems. The server even went down for a few and it let me continue and re-connected.
Early on I did have a crash to desktop, I lost maybe 10 minutes worth of OCDing oil derek placement.

One thing I hope gets changed. If the city is on a major riverway or ocean coast, water shouldn't run out.
Since in the end a region will eventually be bone dry and then you are done.

The reason why EA, along with Mojang and a few others, aren't on Steam has to do with Steam's incredibly restrictive terms around how you can monetize your game. I'll allow Notch to explain:http://notch.tumblr.com/post/9550850...no-steam-notch
Beyond that, Origin itself is a pretty solid piece of software these days and it is constantly being improved. Plus unlike Steam at least Origin has real tech support where I can phone and talk with someone.
As for SimCity, it needs a lot of patching...

Why do I get the feeling your cheap ass would just buy it and then whine the entire time while playing, do your ghetto/criminal haven, rage quit, then come tell us how horrible it is and we were all stupid to pay retail price while your "awesomeness" only payed $30?

I like Kegs stance on this. ~ Ill follow him up with an additional 30$ offer! haha
Logged in, played for about 30 minutes, deleted, re-created my city and then haven't been able to play for the last 2 hours. Re-downloded the game and I'm re-patching now. Bad experience for what looks like a pretty spiffy game
It feels like it never rains to replenish it also this game and trying to make roads on hills do not get along
I have a question...I would like to play with ya'll but I also don't want to mess up the region if my city were to go to shit. How exactly does my city interact with the others in the region? Like if I fail it up hard will it fuck the whole region or?

Crime can really effect other cities. If one city's crime blows up it will spill over into the other cities and really make keeping up with jail cells/patrols difficult.
About the only thing I have seen that has a direct effect on another city in a region that isn't a voluntary reliance on another city for something.
