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.

Best to just see if you can get logged in, then post here once you've set it up. I'll join if I can get on (not likely on Friday night I'm assuming).

Although everybody is hating on EA right now, I'm not that surprised that the guy who worked at Maxis disappeared from this thread, when he was all active and cheerful before the release.

I'm sure that he'd be bombarded with comments now if he posted..

Either that or he's way too busy to post. His account has been active so I assume he's lurking and reading our posts.

I'd stay clear of this thread too until the dust settles if I were him.

Yeah like FordGTGuy said, there's a public EU East 3 server called GAF's Island. Just search and join, you can take any spot that is free.

All these angry people could have filled up the 2km square block like 100 times by now.

I player almost 30 hours and and I haven't filled an entire area.
In my most populated region I worked trough different cities so now look pretty realistic and not engulfed with squared metropolis.

Is low density residential still relevant as you upgrade ? I still getting "no worker" for some high density industrial and commercial . Is density the same as wealth ? Because I see high demand for low wealth residential .

Wenis? Actually I'd love to hear from him, hear how things are going over at Maxis. It must be frustrating for them big time. But yeah, he's probably not posting in fear of half of GAF bombarding him with requests and shit.

I still want to see more pics of that city he built that were in the screenshots, the one with the crazy bridges.

Is the game graphically better looking when you take shots? Still trying to tweak mine and it does not look great, even though is runs smoothly.

This server mess is also disrupting what would normally be a pretty active bug discovery and fix phase since the team is likely just tasked with doing whatever it takes to get the game working enough that the bleeding stops.

Density is controlled by the roads, you build land value with parks and other services which increases wealth, no matter the density.

Should be noted that if you increase your residential wealth, you will also need to increase your commercial wealth as well.

Just jumped right on NA East 2, no issues at all connecting or anything. My region loaded fine too.
Click to expand...

I didn't have any issues with that server last night except for the whole the inter-city connection being down. :\

I was at least able to tinker around with some of my ideas for traffic and growth.

Do you always have to have residential zoning in your city or can you go full industrial and rely solely on regional commuters?
Click to expand...

When everything is working correctly, you will be able to do exactly that. Right now, you need to have residential if you want to get anywhere, I'm afraid.

How can you grow residential density? It always tells me to add new residential areas instead of upgrading the low density residentials.

&#8364;: I upgraded the streets to high density.

Upgrade your roads. After you've done that, click on a house and it will tell if you if it doesn't have room to upgrade if it's ready to go up to the next level.

Man, traffic in my city is downright fucktarded. I have blocks where it's a 4-way intersection and literally all 4 stops everyone is just sitting there, and my traffic is completely gridlocked. Did they turn off what little "traffic AI" there was?

I've noticed if Sims are walking across the street, traffic defers to them.

Damn, I feel for the people who bought the game and can't play it. It's completely unacceptable. I didn't follow the game much but were many specifics about the DRM system given prior to release? I have to imagine after Diablo III there'd be lots of questions. I won't be giving EA my money for this.
