should I spend 60€ on a hooker instead? Unrelated: Sim City 5 will life from it's multiplayer features.
Because of Human Congestion Have just spent the first 4 hours on Sim City 5. It is well done, but very very different from SC4. Retrofade, join my region! Name of region is CLUSTERFUCK, Cityname is Baconwood Sausagé. On US East 2 (I guess). EA is still a dirty AnalCunt.
It's currently 8:52 am and the postman won't come for another hour or 2 yet. Why US East 2? Apparently there are 4 EU West and 3 EU East servers, but it doesn't really matter I can use both EU and US regions since I'm in the UK... Oh and I found this from reddit: http://harding.ae/simstat/#.UTmmpByeOSo As of 8:53 it says that US E2 is down, I'm not sure if that's true or not (it's not like I can check yet) but obviously if it stays like that I'm gonna have to find somewhere to play first!
You can try pinging the Servers, addresses are in your link. right now US east 2 is UP and EU West 2 is down. I had chosen US east because all the fags from US east coast will only flood that server during their afternoon and evening times which are different to our times... You have a friend request on Origün.
EA have been called out on their online only bullshit already... http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/03/12/simcity-server-not-necessary/
For those that are interested: http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/03/14/1414257/hacker-skips-simcity-full-time-network-requirement Or the article: http://www.geek.com/articles/games/modder-proves-simcity-can-run-offline-indefinitely-20130314/ Basically you can hack it to run without being online but you need to go back online to save - still might be of some use to someone if you are running it on a laptop or something and can't be connected.
