[Fixed1979]

Fixed is, with the origin pre-order. But I suppose if you're VPN'ing you can? I don't care, just whoever creates needs to know what's up and needs to be in for the long haul

Ya it doesn't much matter who starts it, they just can't bail. If Metal gets his install going then he should probably be the one.

I'm assuming you can pass region control on to someone else if need be?

 

[Zzoram]

I think I'm going to wait until they finish releasing expansions and buy a complete edition in like 2 years.

 

[trinest]

Whatever region I'm in people who are setting it up can start when ever, I'll just be in a day or so later due to location difference.

Yes, though it's a bit of a mystery why this is; it has its own launcher as well, so essentially Origin is required to launch the launcher which is required to update and launch SimCity.

EA has been against using other services for quite some time. Though mainly just hating on Steam, they gave uPlay some love resently.

 

[drizzle]

The usage of everything in my city is shooting up LIKE CRAZY. I think people got really stoked about the University I just plopped down and everybody is changing from medium to high density, which means that both Energy and Water usage are shooting up faster than I can upgrade my shit.

I'm also getting really starved for space now. Goddammit game..

 

[sunnz]

What are the chances of there being a demo?

To be fair they don't have much choice with uplay, since it's made by a dev themselves (Ubisoft), while Steam is simply a distributor.

Sounds like you're reaching the point where multi-city play should kick in and where specialized cities would help alleviate those problems

 

[Burgess_101]

I was following someone elses map -.-


Are the positions right at least?

Pretty much, they were a little off with the now frontier fields otherwise I think they are okay.

 

[Covfan]

Would be interested to know how the game differs from Beta 2. Both from a gameplay view and a performance view.

 

[robertlebrone]

Any deals on the game? It looks awesome, but I can't pay $60 for games anymore.

Note: I already used the CAGROCKS code on Amazon for Tomb Raider.

 

[NJBorn]

apologies if this has been asked already, but when can we begin playing this game? I am CST

 

[MrCompletely]

just got home from work and this thread is too fast to follow, if I pre-ordered via Origin can I VPN unlock it now? Shows up in my origin game list.

 

[Relix]

Who's making Discovery Delta 2?

 

[goldsoundz]

$20 credit on Amazon if you buy the physical copy. You're still paying $60 for SimCity though. That's the best deal right now.

EDIT: What the fuck? UPS tracking info says that it won't be here until Wednesday. With release date delivery!

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Maybe name your city LOLakers. I'd move in.

you should name one of your cities to "linfor3years" and also "lolmorey"

 

[drizzle]

I don't think you can change a region's settings (from private to public, for instance) after it was created.

That sucks.

 

[Big Chungus]

cagrocks doesn't work for me on amazon..

 

[Ceebs]

just got home from work and this thread is too fast to follow, if I pre-ordered via Origin can I VPN unlock it now? Shows up in my origin game list.

Only if you click the info for it and have a CD key.

Still waiting here.

 

[Got the Shakes]

cagrocks doesn't work for me on amazon..

Last day the code was valid was February 28th.

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

Final update for those in Viridian Woods #2. I thought one of us was on since someone on my Origin is playing it. Wish I had pre-ordered through Amazon or some place that gives out keys faster. Last time I pre-order through Origin.

I'll be on whenever Origin lets us get on... playing the waiting game right now.

Changes are noted with BOLD/UNDERLINE.

Damn, I guess no sim city for me.

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

So I assume Origin codes will automatically show up @ 9 PM PST? Or are they emailed and then entered? First time, and last time, using Origin.

 

[Spl1nter]

Who is making discovery delta 1?

 

[timetokill]

Who is making discovery delta 1?

Maybe you, since you have it. you'll have to name the region as well, I don't think anybody has come up with one.

Please only do so if you are going to be readily available. Do you know if you can invite people who don't have the game yet to their respective cities?

Otherwise I'll be creating it within the next 24 hours.

 

[Burgess_101]

Alright Titans Gorge 1 is up anybody that wants to join reply to this and will invite you.

 

[Dead Prince]

Who is making discovery delta 1?

timetokill maybe. if not me if i can download tonight (and fast) if not whoever is in line lol.

 

[mackaveli]

How do I get on the list to join a new region?

Gaf: Mackaveli Origin ID: Mrush17

 

[Smiley90]

For everyone in my cluster, please put up some extra yellow zones (esp georgc without Tourism ), since I won't be putting up any until I get higher tech levels, my residents will happily commute to your city. In return, I will happily take your shoppers and students too!

 

[FaintDeftone]

Note: I already used the CAGROCKS code on Amazon for Tomb Raider.

I'm in the same boat, buddy. I love some Sim City but I've never paid more than $20 for a Sim City game so $60 is a bit out of my price range. I didn't even jump on The Sims 3 until it hit the $30 range.

 

[Dreamwriter]

EDIT: What the fuck? UPS tracking info says that it won't be here until Wednesday. With release date delivery!

Try UPS directly for tracking, mine says this:

Scheduled For Early Delivery On:
Tuesday, 03/05/2013, By End of Day
Originally Scheduled For Delivery On:
Wednesday, 03/06/2013, By End of Day

Having said that, mine's in Kentucky right now and I live near Seattle.

 

[Snuggles]

StUnNeR H2K, I just accepted your friend request. I would have accepted it sooner but I've barely touched Origin since ME3 so its' easy to miss stuff.

 

[storybook77]

I've got it downloaded so if nothing else, I'll be ready to go at midnight.

 

[antonz]

need to be added to a new region.

Gaf: antonz Origin AntonZGaf

 

[georgc]

I'm on a slow connection don't know if I'll be done soon. Just better he do it cause its agreed upon.

 

[Ghost23]

We need someone to create Discovery Delta 2

 

[flashburn2012]

Has anyone made Discovery Delta 3 yet? I'll be able to get in the game soon, so I can create it if not.

 

[goldsoundz]

Try UPS directly for tracking, mine says this:

I did. There's no shipping updates, and the email I received last night said delivery was scheduled for Tuesday. Says Wednesday now. I'll go to Best Buy on the way home tomorrow and buy it and return my Amazon copy there so I can keep the credit.

 

[Repgnar]

I'm in Discovery Delta(1) but won't get my game until tomorrow afternoon since I ordered it from Amazon. I'll throw out friend invites tonight to whoever I don't have yet in the region and after I get it downloaded tomorrow i'll try and find who made the region for an invite. I still have no idea how I want to make my city but i'm pumped to start building.

 

[pseudomyxoma]

has anyone elses preparing to download been taking like 40 minutes? I closed my VPN after it started was I supposed to wait?

I ordered from Amazon. Still don't have a key. Expecting one at midnight though.

if your talking about amazon, then they email your code at 12AM pst (3am EST).
Does anyone know whether you can begin preloading off origin (without a vpn) if you bought through the origin client?

 

[BearPawB]

Is anyone officially making titan gorge 2?
Storybrook is the only person on my friendslist who is playing

[Artanisix]

Is it possible to play this game comfortably alone?

I can't. Probably will get to play the same tomorrow at about 7PM EST>

 

[Haunted]

Just saw the GB QL and now understand the thread title.

Goddamn those cities are tiny.

 

[georgc]

has anyone elses preparing to download been taking like 40 minutes? I closed my VPN after it started was I supposed to wait?

WAIT!!! It should be DLing check your network activity.


Also what's the download size for this game I'm only at 3% it will take forever.

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

I ordered from Amazon. Still don't have a key. Expecting one at midnight though.

No code for me yet either. I'm on kid sitting duty but she goes to bed soon. Will watch the origin list to see which of us pops on first.

 

[BearPawB]

I am so sick of cynicism in gaming.
Nothing is ever fun.
Nothing is ever good.
Everything is bad.
Everything is evil.
It is exhausting.

But I love loving things, so I'm pretty excited still and I've watched too much footage already. Even played some SimCity 4 this weekend in anticipation.
