With all of the people raging about the broken servers, I wonder if anyone with read this.
I have been able to play for the last few hours, and have built two cities, one industrial, mining coal and ore, and one gambling city with heavy residential. The goal is obviously to get those residents to commute to my industrial city and get jobs. Unfortunately nobody is commuting, and my industrial city has taken a slide down the tubes. All the buildings are getting abandoned due to no workers, and im no longer able to sustain the city.
Now I know there are enough residents able to head over there and work, but they simply wont... has Commuting been broken in addition to cheetah speed?
The commuting is not broken per-se
The main issue is that the servers dont automatically sync your citys till you quit simcity the normal way. meaning even if you have multiple cities that you made during the same play they wont see each other till you quit sim-city and reload in. If you do this then you will be able to see the difference commuters will start coming to your city and you can trade power,sewage and that kind of stuff with out issue.
I hope they fix the sync crap so i dont have to waste 10 min every time i make a huge change to my cities such as getting power from that new coal power plant i just set up to my casino city which has no polution creating buildings (no power,no room) =.='

Not so, as I said I've relogged 3 different times over the past 5 hours in an attempt to foce the region to sync this way and it did nothing.
odd, it worked for me.. then again it was 4-5 hour break inbetween log-in's ... maby even though when you log out and it says "syncing citys" its actually putting it into a pool to be sync'ed
I really wouldnt put it past EA for being lazy... and slow with such things.
I really hope this gets fixed. Not even soon at this point. Just fixed.
I wish I could tell my 11 year old self not to pick up SimCity 2000 in that bargin bin which ultimately led me falling in love with the series.
