Community ManagerAs a player of 9 years+, level 99, having spent huge amounts of time (and also spending quite a bit of money) on refining and and maximising my population (heading towards 32,000,000), this "upgrade" sounds like the end of the line to me. Getting ready to quit the game and go find a proper city builder Sim game instead, without all this multi currency nonsense and all the significant negative changes you keep making (have already been researching and there are a few contenders out there). One thing's for sure - I won't be choosing another EA game any time soon. Your devs have lost their way over the past couple of years.
I am also a 9+ year level 99, with a significant amount of time invested but minimal money spent. I also "started over" by creating two additional new cities -- currently a 45 and a 73. The introduction of Mass Transit prompted me to back off on the 73. The introduction of Services 2.0 may make playing the 45 too painful to continue. As a result, I might quit playing the game altogether, too.
Well... the updates finally hit my city, creating the need for service upgrades, unhappy Sims, and abandoned buildings that need renovation. Things they promised would come later.
To make matters worse, it introduced a significant bug. My depot is full of land-expansion items intended for purchase by a club member. Unfortunately, nobody in the club can see them. They can see other items in my depot, but they cannot see the land-expansion items. The timing couldn't be worse since we just started a lightning war (and the depot is full, so I cannot sell things to make room or help others during the war).
This is, by far, the worst update to the game in the 9+ years I have been playing.
The SimCity BuildIt team should be embarrassed and ashamed right now because this is a serious SNAFU.
