Titan Gorge 1 has free spots. I'm by myself in the corner! No neighbours, I think they ditched us.

Edit: Sigh. Kicked from the game, lost city progress, put into 20 minute queue. This sucks.

Still waiting to get home and install...i would like to claim my spot.
 
Two questions -

Is there a way to see your tile's resource specs like when you first claim it? I know I can figure out what they are by going through each resource overlay but I like the quick and simple break down of the region overview chart. This would be especially helpful for tiles I claimed but haven't built on yet.

Can you rotate plopable buildings?

How do you actually make money from your oil? I have a ton of oil wells and my trade depot has tons of it, but it never seems to get exported

So can anyone tell me what I need to do to add extra runways for my airport? I had one down, and whenever I tried to add a new one it would tell me that the terrain is too steep because when I first plop it the end of the runway sinks into the ground. I ended up removing that airport and tried to make space for a new one. I have the space but the same thing happens when I plop. The ground sinks in and I can't add another runway. Any ideas on how to stop/fix it?

yea when you first click the tile it shows a bar for every resource to show much if any there is

That seems to only be available pre-claim. I am wondering after it is claimed if you can see that handy resource summary. Once claimed you just get the city status in the region overview map.

So this game has been out for days and some of you haven't been able to play for an hour yet? damn. I would be pissed. I think all games should have an offline mode.

The latest Starcraft 2 (WoL) update scared me because I thought they removed the offline battles with the A.I., but they didn't - they just hid the option for offline battles. So now it's like an Easter egg. It's kinda sad seeing offline gaming being pushed away.

you have to click the trade depot and set it for export.
 
Blah, so the NA servers are dead now. I could make a new EU region if there is region-less gaffers here?

GDI it. I hate hate hate when I get past the loader screen (NA East 1 is Available) just to get to the game screen and see that it can't connect to the servers.

95% sure I'm done with this game (*).

That is the worst thing ever, because there is hope...swiftly followed with a pie in the face.

All the servers are now busy except for Oceanic.

I'm currently connected to Europe East 3.

Is there a way to skip the tutorial? Nevermind apparently you just exit to the main menu while in the tutorial to skip it.

Those are the best type of games... they build character.

We are currently aware that some servers are not performing optimally and are actively working on them.

Same BS

Just wow, fuck EA. I have officially returned my unopened boxed retail Sim City and going forward, i am now 100 percent boycotting EA, do you hear me EA? I know i am only one schmuck but i will not buy your goddamn games until you stop treating your customers like thieves and idiots.

I made a region on Eu east 3. The map is Reflection Atoll which is a map that connects all 7 cities with eachother! Post your origin name if you want to play.

Your liberal use of the word 'literally' aside, I agree that things have gone completely fucking tits-up over EA.

As a Server Administrator, I can tell you if that literally happened they're going to have some serious problems with servers overheating in the near future. Best place for servers are on rows of racks with cold and hot aisles between them. Less optimal is sitting on a bed.

I think I have one more night before I finish Tomb Raider. If I still can't play SimCity at that point we're going head first into first-world-problems RAGE.
 
Anyone want to start up a new region with me tonight(assuming we can get in)? I'll probably start playing at like 6:30p EST. Already played around with single-player but haven't done any multiplayer yet. HIT ME UP.
