thanks allot ea lost all my friends fix or loose me forever allot of time and effort put into this game

Relax. It's going to come back up sooner or later.

I just read that this has been going on for over 3 hours for some people. That is completely unacceptable. IF they knew that their servers could not handle the demand, then why the heck did they advertise it so extensively thereby ensuring that there would be thousands of players? IF they knew that their game was too buggy to go live then why do so? OH I KNOW, because they knew those same new players who didn't know better would spend actual money.

All they had to do was not make having friends vital to the success of this update, that is what is causing all the crashing. Everybody was forced to max out at 100 friends in order to complete the tasks. Idiots, great planning there.

It's been over 3 hours for me. I just hope they resolve it and this problem doesn't come back multiple times in the next few weeks.

I'm now getting friend invites but can't connect

People need to relax. I'm sure people there have experiences server outages before. Things happen and you have to have patience. You can't expect a global problem to be fixed so quickly, it takes time.

I still don't have an origin icon on my game. I also don't have a single friend in my list.

I was just thinking that I could either A: create the Social Studies study guide for my 4th grader to help him with his test this week or B: finish the laundry but instead I'm choosing to be super productive and select option C: Catch up on Say Yes To The Dress: Bridesmaids. I love me some puke colored tulle drama!

I hear ya..love tulle and disgruntled bridesmaids/sisters. I also had the thought that perhaps I should go grocery shopping..but that would require a change of clothes and effort. So, it's a Walking Dead kind of afternoon!

I'll add you if I ever get back to my beloved Springfield.

LOL. I have to delete somebody but you're cracking me up so I'm making room for you!

this EXACT problem happens about once a week - you will not lose your town or friends - once the issue is resolve then everything will be back to normal.

I hope your right.

Got my town back but still no Origin button. I was hoping to collect all the Santa Coins right now as i've waited 24 hours but none of my friends are showing. This is annoying, i want to purchase the Try-N-Save!!! Just hope its all sorted by tomorrow morning.

I was able to log in by doing this, tap Bart/millhouse, tap the "it's a social game for crying out loud" button, and the ORGIN buttons come up. Let me back in and all my neighbors came back.

Not yet for me :x
