I'm beginning to think that the servers are run by a real life Homer Simpson. We just don't hear about it in the news because servers make smaller explosions than nuclear power plants... but somewhere, some poor soul is constantly having to rebuild the servers because of someone else's incompetence.
Hey... Maybe that Homer Simpson Blew up the Origin Server and each of our Springfields are waiting to be brought back on-line at the NEW server being rebuilt by another tap game... ohhh how Meta!!

This is getting really old. I'm out here in Chicago. I can't believe this is so commonplace. They really need to get their servers in order. You would think they'd have identified the problem by now.
When I visited the origin site a few minutes ago the most recent message released still said the servers are down. I don't have twitter, they should update the origin site so we can at least have some reassurance that we will someday get our friends back. I had 100' plus many requests I can't accept. Other people on here have said they have 120+ or 190+ friends. My game cut me off at 100, every time I tried to add another it gave me an error message that said something like "uh-oh, something went wrong". It doesn't actually say I have reached any limit, just that same error message over and over. Anyone else get cut off at 100? Weird. I know I kind of went off topic there, just wondering, that's all
The worst part for me, is I'm still getting the push notications saying my buildings are ready and I can collect coins.. So disheartening! I want to play!
I'm in UK and iPad, iPod and iPhone wont work! :-(
Anyone playing any other origin linked games? My theme park is working with origin but still won't work with tapped out. May have already been asked on the many threads about this.
It fills me with hope that EA have concluded their work on the problem yet there are still 'undergoing maintanance' messages every time you boot up the game...
Not working here in springfield, i mean Belgium. First i couldn't log in with my password, then the origin button was gone, now: ughh, i hate this screen man. I am still waiting for about 7 hours now ! Houston...i mean Origin, we have a problem.
Yay we fixed the origin log-in and got our friends back. Yesterday I said that was problem number 150. So within 24 hours we are onto problem 151. At this rate we will never play, it will be Easter candy the next time we log in.
It's pretty bizarre how frequently this game doesn't function at all, so much so I believe agitation and dashed hopes to be part of gameplay. Is there a manual on this?
Yesterday I couldn't access this forum for ten hours that was really odd too, or maybe just normal who's to say?. Right now I definitely can't log in and that image of Bart pulling the cat 5 outta the walls is aggravating. I think I may make breakfast and actually go to work for a bit, see what's shaking down over there

Simpception!
It sounds like the origin site is changing its mind every 5 minutes. I realise there is always gonna be server issues but damn this annoying now.
