Anyone got this? I just received it and tried to install it but it said I can't install it until tomorrow as that's when it comes out in the UK never had that before when I've got a game early. Annoying as I really want to play it and its just sitting there. Will no doubt install it at midnight and play for far too long and ruin my sleeping pattern. So yeah, anyone playing this? And would anyone like to set up a shared region? 1. Mike Giggs - Casino City 2. Injustice - Industrial City 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

I'll probably pick it up down the line when the servers are more stable. Though I do worry that EA will shut down the servers when the inevitable sequel comes out, but I guess we'll see. I still play Sim City 2000/IV all the time, so I am interested in seeing how this one stacks up.

Always having to be online kinda defeats the point.. But it shall be interesting. It means good things for the future. Like sharing a neighbhourhood with another player in the Sims 4.
Let us know how it goes. If I pick it up, maybe we'll have to share a place together!

Would definitely be cool if we could set up a WF region. One person can be industrial, one can be educational, one can be resource-centred etc. I shotgun building an entertainment city, probably leaning towards casinos. All of you guys can supply my power

I watched Greg Miller on IGN play it for like 3 hours.
When it hits Mac, I'll probably grab it.
Hopefully the piece of sh*t runs by then. Come on, EA/Maxis.

I am thinking of picking it up soon. Let the servers calm down first.

Playing now. My Origin name is Mikey-Bizzle (similar to PSN in sig but without the extra i in Mikey), come join my region! Think the server is North American East 2 (not sure though), had no problems connecting.

Would love a Sim City/Age of Empires game based on Thomas the Tank Engine.

The way ea has been handling this game on pc has been an absolute cluster . They need to get rid of drm. It's even got the lowest rating on amazon for any product ever. A good thing did come out of this though. For those of you wanting to play something like is city (some people even say its better than sim city) steam is selling tropics 4 and all of its expansions for $10 in response to EA's horrible handling of sim city.

I am planning on buying this soon. When I do, I'll join in. I'll do the Education City with all the schools and colleges and so on.

is it true that you can only build certain things if you playt with other people? If that is the case, I am going to pass.

There's nothing that's explicitly blocked, but there are certain buildings that have requirements (usually enhancements made to your City Hall) that can be met by other players in your region. For instance, to be able to build a more advanced water pump someone in your region has to have a Department of Utilities. If you're playing alone, that person has to be you, which means you need to make sure your city is laid out in such a way where adding that on to your city hall isn't too destructive.

Any info on the mac release?
I'm hoping all of the server issues are cleared up by the time it comes out for mac. I was really looking forward to this game awhile ago but we'll see if the mac version has as many issues as pc.
