I heard SimCity set up a server status page.
It's supposed to look like this:
So I click on the click on the link and am met with this instead:
Haha. That's just too good, really.

You figure this out? Happened to me then city needed rolled back and still didn't work. Traffic might be the issue I see the truck bound for global market stuck outside my town.
Turns out I made about 9.408.224 doing it.
- 8 million out of TVs (30k on stock plus whatever was manufactured on that day)
- 1 million out of Processors (10k on stock plus whatever was overflowing from the microprocessor store)
- 435k out of Alloy (40 tons plus whatever was stocked on my recycling facilities and not used by the microchip or TV factories).
I also found out why my schools were not teaching anybody:
Turns out this high school had two buses on the parking garage, and they couldn't figure out how to leave the parking garage, which made all the school buses in the city (from all the middle or high schools) to snake behind them, meaning that no students were being delivered or picked up at the bus stops. They just couldn't make a U-Turn INSIDE the school (there's no traffic going out of the school).
It also made a building burn up behind them, as you can see.
Only want to fix it was destroying the High school. After that, all the buses went their merry separated ways. Good thing I had 9 million banked.
Man, after looking at things like this:

And close-ups of parts of the towns like this:
I wish SimCity also had bigger regions so we could also do nice little towns surrounded by forests and keep working slowly off that...
I really like this game, and I think in a few years if they do it right (...) the game could be amazing, but I don't wanna wait a year to be able to build towns bigger than the district where I live now (and there are 6 districts equally big in the city where I live, and it's not THAT big of a city anyway).

On my first city I wasn't able to get any but on my second city I got them really fast when I did a specific are aiming for that kind of stuff.. I basically made a big circle with a couple streets crossing it and put a few parks and stuff in the middle, then surrounded it all with residential and some commercial, then started working on layers from there and most of that area is skyscrapers now.

looks like another simcity DLC to me.
"simcity Roads" where vehicles can make a left turn anywhere.
cost?
$12
Man those screenshots are so amazing. Makes me want to re-install Sim City 4.
After playing all weekend, I haven't touched SC since. Still enjoying it, but after reading about the various issues in this thread, I'm gonna wait until it gets fixed a bit so I don't have to worry about my city being held back by some dumb bugs. Not to mention that I really hope Maxis expands the city sizes sooner rather than later as part of an expansion pack.
Also, after reading about all the disasters (only had one earthquake so far), it would've been cool to have some kind of regional defense force (EDF!) that everyone pays into that could response to the zombie and dino attacks and would vary based on how much money was put into it. It's pretty lame not to be able to response to the disasters.

we actually doing this?
I think this is what happened to my city. Had the roll bock and then was unable to load it. My boyfriend could visit the city but I couldn't play it. I decided to abandon it so he could run the city thinking that could work but when he became mayor he couldn't load the city either.
Tonight he said he was going to go back and test after the patch, but said the city had defaulted to it's original name instead of what I named it 'Sea of Holes'. He said he still couldn't load it. The rename tho makes me believe it is truly gone.
Haha, at least you had an ingame disaster break your stuff.
I had to settle for a totally artificial server screwup to delete my entire city.

RS4's city is also quite barren, last time I checked.
This game makes me mad. I finally traded enough goods in one day to get a trade center, had to destroy half the roads in my city to do it and this was all so I could build a trade port to ship stuff by sea. I build the center and bam I need to trade even more in a day to actually store any goods in the port!?! Why would they make you work to unlock a building that does absolutely nothing until you unlock more stuff afterwards? I have no idea how I'm gonna trade that much in a day I have no rail and the entrance to my city is a parking lot (which is why I wanted the dock in the first damn place)
Lol all he did in my city is eat all the garbage in one of my dumps.
Increase density
You mean street density? All maxed out.

The AI in this game is dumb. All the 'agents' attempt to do is find the quickest empty plot they need to get to. They don't go back to the same house, or the same job. It's dumb.
Seemingly this guy on the EA forums feels the same way, and has written a much better summary of the problem: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Miscellane...ces-and-traffic-are-broken/m-p/737060#U737060

House density. They'll need room to grow into bigger houses/buildings.
Will do once I get home
yes it is
Take a look at the building density map, anything green is happy enough to upgrade. They'll need enough space as well as decent roads. If there's no green, your citizens aren't happy enough to upgrade.

Is there an easy way to figure why the value of one building is lower than another? I know there is a land value map, but I find that pretty useless. Many times I'll have one building that's the highest value, and right next to it, the lowest value. It'd be nice to know what's causing that drastic difference in value.
Was the lowest value property built before the land value went up? Not all the low value houses just vanish when that happens.

Not always. And I've tried bulldozing the low value building, and it's just replaced with another one.

Man, reading all of the lies, problems, and fuck ups makes me SO happy I spent $20 on SimCity 4 Deluxe instead of this. I keep telling myself that I'll bite at some point, but all of the news and information that I am reading makes me realize that I won't. Ever.
Unless they add single-player, increase region size, and allow mods to fix the shit that EA/Maxis did wrong.

If we aren't doing that one anymore, then I'll just start a region for other people who are interested after they patch back in cheetah and fix at least some of the traffic issues, especially service vehicle problems.
I had about 90% residential, much of it high density and they still demanded workers. The game's fucked.

I also decided to stay with my good old trusted Simcity 4 for now. The new game is just missing too many features for me to consider buying it. But in time they will get the new Simcity all fixed up, upgraded, and fleshed out to the point where it can finally replace Simcity 4 as the best city simulation game. You know, after they release the:
- Subway DLC
- Terraforming DLC (city plots only)
- Mayor House variety pack DLC
- new region maps DLC
- Rush Hour Expansion that fixes the traffic simulation so that it actually works
- dozens of new buildings as DLC
- weather DLC
- EA releases Game of the Year Edition, includes Rush Hour and all DLC up to this point
- Plenty of Parks DLC
- beaches DLC
- more new region maps as DLC
- alternate road textures DLC
- Farming DLC
- Metropolitan Expansion that enables multi-core use for the Glassbox engine and includes larger city sizes
- even more new region maps as DLC
- marinas and boats DLC
- raised monorail DLC
- train yard variety pack DLC
- and yet more new region maps as DLC
- Offline play DLC
* EA releases Gold Super Deluxe Platinum Version of Simcity, including all expansions and DLC
Once that last version is available to buy, then I'll get it, because that's the version I want. And I'm not going to buy now and take it on good faith that EA will someday "maybe" fix the game up, because honestly I just don't have that much trust nor faith in them.
Offline play is a requirement for me though. I want to be able to come back to my cities years down the road and keep playing them, or even make new cities long after EA pulls the server plug. Without that ability, it's just not worth my money.
You'll be golden in 2016 then. EA are gonna drag the dlc out as long as they can.
I actually hope they support the game with expansions as long and as regularly as the Sims 3. Some of those expansions are great. I don't however want to see more crap along the lines of the currently overpriced European building theme packs...

The thing that I'm learning through you guys in the SimCity 4 thread is that, through modding, SimCity 4 can become a completely different game. The only thing I think it needs is an easier road tool for doing curved and bendy roads. And it seems as though the community for SimCity 4 is still going strong (as evidence with the recent release of an updated NAM).
You can mod SC4!? *Gonna find the thread...***
