Apparently this city is stuck in time..... every time play it I get a processing error and it gets rolled back. It literally hasn't saved anything in the past two days.
Are all the cars driving 88mph?
Not anymore... they disabled the high speed setting because their servers couldn't handle it.....
Oh, and the giant lizard came out and destroyed half my city. Apparently taking out my City Hall also took out my water supply since the water plant is tied to a City Hall module.

That should be considered a bug... taking out a building shouldn't stop something else from functioning even if it was a pre-req,Not anymore... they disabled the high speed setting because their servers couldn't handle it.....

Back to back disasters of the lizard then a tornado really put a hurting on that town. Had to rebuild and tax revenue was in the hole big time.
I really want this game now....Oh, and the giant lizard came out and destroyed half my city. Apparently taking out my City Hall also took out my water supply since the water plant is tied to a City Hall module.
Just bought The Simcity Box for pick up on the way home.... I'll wait until EA gets their chit together.

As for why we play- I just like maps and things like maps, seeing the city grow and change.
Most techheads/geeks I know are borderline OCD and creating our own perfect city in nice neat squares is a subconscious attraction. Plus I like having Godzilla & UFOs in the same game.

dude, who wouldn't rike gawdzirra effing up your eTown... that alone almost justifies the $60 lease price
Boys like to build AND destroy shit.
Developing a complex system, troubleshooting it, and seeing success or failure at accomplishing a goal..... seems pretty much like fun to me. Applies to virtually every hobby I have.
I've been having most success on Eastern Europe 2... Started a new region yesterday and claimed 2 cities next to each other, one I developed pretty decently yesterday- will go to the second one today and see if I can get it going,
Really annoyed I couldn't get to my server of choice so couldn't get to my cities but at least you can play the game now... It's looking real good once it works.
The head of Maxis, Lucy Bradshore is answering tweets for the next 25 minutes to #asklucy
Since she is not giving real answers I should tweet "Show us your #tits. #asklucy"

pathetic... not even a half hour for the enraged twits of the world... lol customer care 
really looks like the whole online cooperative side of the game was forced in just to cover the nazi level DRM crap they really hold in such high regard.. otherwise, why bother.. the game is not all that multiplayer, the fact that your game is stuck on 'a' server is just retarded, and considering the internet is basically a giant server room where most everything is interconnected... i mean HTF is your game not accessible from other servers, they don't talk or share or let you work/play wherever there is room??
thats a really odd facet for a game that supposedly wont run with out all these dedicated servers crunching numbers the game needs to work

They obviously never thought about moving games between servers because they didn't think they'd need many servers... In fact back during Beta 1 they were talking about just making a decision to have more than 1 server for the whole world. The game was designed for the last x years thinking there would only be a single server- (or more likely server cluster) so of course they didn't consider there being a dozen+ a week after launch.
I got 2 nice cities in an empty region on North America 2 if you can figure out how to view/get there.
So every time you make a fire truck/police car/ambulance/etc you get a 2nd one to send to a neighbor? Seems like if you don't use it for a neighbor it doesn't get used at all- you can use them in your own city. I guess that is to foster the spirit of cooperation.
