I have to agree with other posters. I have absolutely no problem with dropping some real cash on a good game, I just think the value for money is terrible. One building and one character is like £9. Is that a fair price? It's not as if one character and one building contributes a whole hell of a lot to your Springfield.…

I can't find a specific t n c document for tsto. I can only find a generic EA one that covers all games online, and I cannot find a mention anywhere in that that mentions persistent internet connections are required to play.

I don't recall there ever being any mention of needing a persistant internet connection as in the play store but it was years ago so... Doesn't mention anything about it on the app store now at least. I have been playing on and off for years now, since the game first came out. I have been very lucky in that this is the…

I am not having a hissy fit. Just making an observation. To be honest, I am not too concerned about needing an internet connection to play, except when the servers go down when I want to play, that's not good. I am annoyed that this is not made clear. If I had known beforehand I would not have started playing. I am more…

Sorry, but as far as I am concerned I am buying permanent things. No one ever pointed out that when I spend real money in game the items I buy I only have access to as long as EA deem it financially viable. CDs, DVD and BluRays are entertainment and are not transient. All the other games I have bought for my iPad, iPod,…

I can confirm that, for me at least, changing the DNS server on my iPad to 8.8.4.4 worked first time. Given that DNS servers are usually routed from your ISP I wanted to ask you all a question. How many of you who are having this problem are using sky broadband? I have seen sky mentioned a lot when people are noting their…

So it is only really a matter of time before I get locked out and all the money I spent is gone.

Especially scary is this from the above list:

Then there is this from the EA website, which is quite scary:

Also, what happens if EA decide to turn the servers off? I have previously been subjected to this with PS3 games. Online mode no longer accessible because EA decided to shut down the servers. I understand that as long as EA continues to make money from this game they will probably not switch the server off, but maybe one…

I thought that as I turned wifi off and it still came up with 'can't connect to server'. So that means: 1. my wifi only ipad is out of range of my wifi - I cannot play the game. 2. my internet connection goes down - I cannot play the game. 3. EA's servers go down (like now) - I cannot play the game. Does anyone know if…

I have been unable to connect since last night (11pm UK time) I have been trying intermittantly throughout today with no luck. Earlier, when I tried to log into this forum, the site would not let me and said "system error - try again later" seems EA's servers are in trouble and no one is doing anything about it as it is…
