Even if the server's status is available, I can't create my city. Please pay our money back, shut the business down, and learn from these mistakes. Maybe agriculture would be a better business for you :P
Getting the same problem, does anyone know what causes it?
As for EA, I agree we are owed some kind of perk for this gigantic screw up. An applogy isn't enough (though one should be issued) this is an example of DRM gone mad. I understand the desire to gain from your work as everyone has the right to the fruits of their legitmate labor, but you have made your game almost unplayable trying to stop somehting that can't be stopped.EA it may be easy to ignore complaints on this forum and dismiss us as hotheads, but you have really screwed up here and we desrve better than this.
Yup. Same Message. Same Error. Why is EA so **bleep** bad at anything involving online synchronization? Let me play offline if you can't even handle a launch...like you guys always fail to do. If it's so **bleep** bad for servers; why not do what a lot of places do now? Allow pre-orders to play the game a few days early; so you can save the headaches from the majority of your customers. Cause obviously those betas didn't seem to prepare you guys for this.
Thanks.
Please fix this issue; I just want to create a city and see if I can recommend this game to my friends and coworkers instead of telling them, "nope, EA screwed up again you guys". [Seems like a lot of review places dropped the ratings down due to these disappointing server issues] ... Maybe EA should just issue a credit to the people who decided to purchase the game in anticipation to only be disappointed? Compensate people's wasted time here :P.
The problem is fundamental flaw in the logic of EA. In an effort to protect their game from being pirated, they have alienated customers. Instead of making a good product that is fun enough for someone to pirate it, they made a good product that no one can play. This is one of the reasons that PC games are losing to the Xbox 360 and PS3. Happy customers equals profits. How many bad launches can a company have before their company sinks?
Its working for me now, I dont know if the prob is fixed but just keep trying the servers cuz im playing now.
