I am putty, regional manager, cluster manager, mold me. :p

Seriously, I haven't played SimCity since SimCity 2000, long ago. I've been doing some quick research for this release but I'm still basically coming in near blind. Tips are certainly welcome as far as region and area wide planning goes. It's my understanding that serious regional cooperation won't be something to worry about until the individual cities grow a bit. Is that right? Is there a reasonable population that a city should reach before really considering specialties?

Just noticed Rentahamster didn't register into any city? Dont wanna play with the rest of us? :p

I do, but I'm going to be in either Korea or Japan when the game launches, so I'm not sure Origin will let me play from there, even though I bought the NA version.

Also, I don't know if I'll have enough bandwidth to download the whole thing (which is why I really really wanted a preload)

I might try a VPN

Or

I might try to remote desktop and play like that :p

We'll see.

So stuff like fire, police, water, ect can organized on a multicity level too? I had no idea.

Yes.

You can make a police station large enough to service your own city

or

If you want, you can add additional cars to your squad and assign them to patrol your neighbors' cities as well.

It works the same way with fire trucks, ambulances, garbage trucks...

This will be important, especially when you unlock the advanced buildings, since it's unrealistic and inefficient to expect all 4 cities in a cluster to have all the advanced buildings each, when it's cheaper to have each city hold one or two advanced buildings, and then share with the other cities.

I made a big post about that stuff a page or two back.

Are you Robo Louie, or are you the guy who was trying to make him laugh?

For what it's worth, I think that guy is funny enough. Admittedly, ome of the jokes can be a little eye rolling, but I love the exuberance and personality, and yes I do get legitimate lols from you guys. Keep up the good work.

All 6 regions are full. Not sure if I should open more, registrations were kinda slow for the final 2, they'll probably end up empty.

I don't know if you should open more regions, since we really don't know how many of the people that are signed up will follow through and actually join their region or give their Origin name.

It might be a good idea to start a wait list for replacement people to take over for those who flake. And, if the wait list gets huge, then you know to open another region.

Send a request my way. My Origin is freaking out right now, so I may have to reboot.

Maybe we should send PM's on GAF to tell them to list their Origin name?

Weird player, cant control video quality, sound volume or go full screen. Also lags a lot, tried both Firefox and Chrome. Do these come online later somewhere?
Yea the entire four hour stream is being recorded and there will also be a highlight reel edited together.

Are you Robo Louie, or are you the guy who was trying to make him laugh?
