If you ask me this is just wanting control, EA has your money and now they control how you play, when you play and if you play. Seems like they are going into the world of communism. I am a tech guy and even I can figure out how to address server load issues!!! EA has many people and I am just one!! This is not rocket science I WANT A FULL REFUND!!

You guys need a new editor. “Citys”? Really? It’s “cities”!

http://www.simcity.com/en_US/game/info/multiplayer

“Team up with friends or go solo to build great works in your region. ” To me that says that I can go at it solo if I want… no? It would be stupid to force you to play with others.

I know there were a couple of PC versions before that.

True Sim City fans, such as us, would want to care about our own Sim City… I think…

Planet Offer died because the few “winners” WON – very early in the real estate grab. After that what? Mega
servers serving a few overlords devouring new unsuspecting subscribers?

Simcity is about SIM-GROWTH, and CREATION, not COMPETITIVE OBESE-CITY. Not everything is about ONEUPMANSHIP or “GANG UP WITH OTHER PLAYERS FOR GLOBAL DOMINATION”.

Blinded by “need to enforce subscription model” EA Simcity division probably fantasizes that Simcity types = The Sims types. I am not deprived enough to subject myself to be always on. I quit SC4 and CXL as soon as I realized no mod is forthcoming. If EA refuses to implement SINGLE OFFLINE player option, get ready to sacrifice their pretty baby on their altar of Greed and Narcissism.

I would really like a title which deals with the cynical, depressing, and ultimately ‘true’ aspects of running a city. There is much talk of ‘attention to detail’, but to me, being able to monitor exactly what every inhabitant of your city is doing does not seem so relevant, and the idea of managing resources at a minute-level is something Sierra games like the Pharaoh and Caesar games were doing over 10 years ago. Give us corrupt financial institutions like City Of London Corporation, and ways to subtly create deprived neighbourhoods so as to fund other, more priviledged ones.

I’d probably do the same to avoid having to be online to play it!
