A THEORY NO MORE - All good in the hood
This sounds about right, the majority of towns I can get into are under level 20
Forum Discussion
I can't find any real pattern. I updated mid afternoon ET yesterday. Most of my 54 friends pre update are forum regulars. I added 12 friends between about 17:00 yesterday and 02:00 ET today. Eight of them are forum regulars, four are not.
At 02:00 ET today, I could only access one friend's town. I had this friend before the update, and is not a forum regular. Their town is roughly 7x7-ish.
When I woke up at 07:00 ET this morning, I could access five friend's towns. Two are pre-update friends, one is a forum regular, one is not, one has a ~7x7 town, the other at least 10x10. The remaining three are new (post-update) friends, one has a smallish town < 8x8 and is a forum regular, and the other two have > 10x10 towns with one being a forum regular and the other not.
So far, I've logged out and logged back in to Origin and rebooted my iPad. As of ~16:50 (a bit over 24 hours after the update), I can still only access the same five friends I could this morning. I have had no indication of visitors to my town since the update.
By the way, thanks to those who added me last night. I culled a while ago and have been meaning to send invites to many here in this forum. I may send a few more invites out tonight (not that it will do much good). Feel free to decline my friend request if you don't have enough room, or even just on general principal - no feelings hurt :)
I do have to say that overall, my SF seems much more responsive with this update (and no snow). Big decrease in lag, and I've even added quite a bit of decoration on top of new friends and probably 10 outstanding friend requests. We'll see how it looks after EA resolves this issue.
TL;DR - No pattern found, can access 5 of 66 friends, thanks to the regulars who added me, feel free to decline my invite, my SF seems more responsive.
