Yuuuuuuuuuup I'm in the same exact boat, it's bad enough I'm running out of time to collect more parchments to get all the items, but then add this delay to the mix doesn't make it any better .
I had a suspicion this wasn't only my problem. Cell phone puttered out two different times while tapping through my friends' Springfields, and after the second time, got the message that I was logged in on another device. Now can't connect to the server. Crossing my fingers that I don't lose 41 levels of progress, but I do understand. Will try not to do something stupid to erase my town in the meantime!
Not only is it down right now for me too, but when I tried to post in here and complain about it, it sure made things unnecessarily difficult! There's some sort of "default identity selector" thing where it will give you the option to be an associated xbox live gamer tag, or command and conquer .com, or a bunch of other random things you might have linked to your EA account... Uh, I guess that'd be cool, if it didn't totally non-obviously break other functionality? If you select anything other than "EA ID", it'll tell you at the top of the forum pages that you're logged in but you can't post because your email address is unverified. Until you switch it to EA ID (which is the same username as my live gamertag in my case so the difference isn't even visible), and then it magically knows I've verified the email on my account. That it already knew I was logged in as.
Good times, thanks EA.
Im worse than down time right now. It logged me out and apparently lost my entire account. It wont recognize me no matter how many times I reset my password.
I had the server down message twice, before being connected the third time. Just after I had managed to send a high roller to donate to charity, I lost my connection again. Hopefully I'll be able to login again in time later today to still get the 400 emblem #1 task in time.

Good times, thanks EA.
I just spent several minutes in my town looking for one last one and there wasn't one!
Never mind I found the last one and got the message!
How I wish we can get free donuts from each downtime? :roll:
