Well I will be the 1st person not to just outright insult and yell.
First off everyone who has played a "Only Online" Game (eg. D3) should know the first few days may be rough.. I am not saying its not BS i payed 80$ for the DDE but getting mad is not going to fix it.. Its only day 2. These guys worked their ass's off making this game for us and yes they may be haveing problems now but that doesnt mean the Game itself sucks..
Second.. Go outside, Shower, Eat i mean if playing this game is the only thing you have going for yourself this particular week .. your the pathetic ones not EA. Im sure they are working hard to fix these problems... Why would they put their reputation on the line? **bleep** happens and when technology or internet is involved things can get screwy.
Stop blaming them.. and asking for a refund are you kidding me? i have 4 games that i bough for anywhere from 40-80$ that sucks balls and wish i never bought (BTW Simcity isnt one of them) but i dont complains about it i will just make smarter purchases.
EA doesnt owe anyone their money back.. Unless these problems last a few weeks or even a month. QQ less and just be patient.
i never wanted an online game, i wanted a single player game. i'm mostly ok with waiting, but now my cities are gone, and i thought i would play another sims game, but none of them will work now. so now i'm thinking they messed up here. they took short cuts and we pay for it. why is that ok?
Explain why you see it as a shortcut? Failure to know your userload across the world I don't see as a shortcut, I see it as information you could never possibly have until you flip the switch.

well they had the total number of pre-orders to give them an idea. theservers are also one of the things not working. even if it shows room, i can't play. there whould be an online mode, but everything is server side. why? what other games can you name that you pay for and all you get is the launcher. all the data, saved games are on a server that fails. if my PC fails it my fail, but if there server fails i just have to deal with it? let it go?
Hey guys, i was also experiencing the"Unable to create your city at this time. Please claim a city again later" message and share your frustration. So i thought to my self, if i can't claim a city on this server (for me it was Europe East 1) how about i try another. After hoping into multiple servers, i was able to find one that allowed me to claim a city (North America East 1), noticeably it was the first server i join when i got my game. This fixed my "Unable to claim a city" problem and i was happily creating my city until the servers went down for maintenance. Thought i would share that.
