OysterBarron Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Starting Friday the 8th March we're going to start creating region's for Maxis's new game Simcity. Of witch any GTAForums member is welcome to come and build along side us to hopefully create a thriving region(s). Hopefully in future we can also have region vs region in terms of stats if it becomes more popular and we get enough players. I have created this topic in order to keep track of the regions easily and not get bogged down with general chat about simcity. First off if you would like to enroll then please feel free to leave your Origin username within this topic or PM me with it and i shall add you from within origin. For General chat on the New Simcity please use this topic located : HERE Current interested Simcity Mayor's GTAF Username Origin Username Oysterbarron Oyst3rbarron trip tripmills Natethegreatforlife n8thegr8forlife Trund Trund SausageInACan SausageInACan Kirsty MissCloud thatguy23 Demon_slayer723 Audiophile BWpunisher OnePiece zimfromBM Whisky Inspire Twix45 pizza guy Kryzac TUBBSthezombie TUBBS2 JayC jokstar MWC GTAFFMM khbbs DneroJohnson DneroJohnson The General Motherurck Rebel Zxirius Zxirius Game plan: UPDATE 20/3/2013 Have just started a new Region on europe west 3 I have tried also to update the stats on region 1 & 2 but am unable to load at the moment, Also would like to welcome another 2 mayors to the party DneroJohnson & GTAFFMM.

Trund Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'd suggest to start the first Region in Europe West 2. It seems to be the least crowded one from my experience, so far at least. I don't know how things will change over the weekend. Earlier I wasn't able to play again, and I haven't tried it for the past ~5h. (According to EA it shouldn't matter which Server you use, they are supposed to be all lag free, no matter from where you play.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OysterBarron Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 the first region is going to be a road test as it is so i'm sure we can go with it and see how things go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewas Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) I wish I could join ya, but the game is too expensive for me. I'll wait until it gets cheaper. BTW, can you at least post some pics? I wanna see how GTAF region will look. Edited March 7, 2013 by COOLMAN12234555896 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OysterBarron Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Well i will post up pics of the starter region once it gets going plus i'm hoping of recording some of the first nights play to share with you all anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I<3GTAV Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Hopefully the servers don't continue acting up! The North American servers are trash right now, not sure about the others. You said the first region should be a region of 8 cities, the closest matches to that are a region of 7 or 11. Here they are: Horizon Archipelago Refelction Atoll Edited March 7, 2013 by natethegreatforlife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OysterBarron Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks for posting them nate. Not having the game limited me to what I could plan. Hopefully we get a few more enrolled by tommorow then we can make a decision then and pray the servers hold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrogers15 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Its sad. Nobody is gonna be able to do this because EA requires the servers to be online, which are crap servers. Obviously they are using: 1. A sh*t connection 2. Old A** hardware. Also, amazon and many other stores have pulled Simcity from Sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SausageInACan Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) It's real annoying how everyone says that the game sucks and its the worst game but they are only judging it on the servers. And I guess I am lucky but the most time I have spent waiting to get into a server is ten minutes, and most of the time I get right into a server. Edit: I also like the region Horizon Archipelago Edited March 8, 2013 by SausageInACan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trip Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It's real annoying how everyone says that the game sucks and its the worst game but they are only judging it on the servers. It is a weird crazy bandwagon situation. I downloaded and have been playing the game since March 5th and have had very little issues. My Origin client says I've played for 18 hours. Not bad considering I'm a working adult kind of person that doesn't get a sh*t ton of time to play. And to stay on topic: My name is on the list here and I hang out on NA E2 when not in the GTAF region.

SausageInACan Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Trip are there any cities left on the region you play in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trip Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Yes. The one I started last night has 2 open. It is the super small first region. Join me while we wait for oysterbarron to set up the official region. Cape Hope on North America East 2. I'll send you an origin friend invite now.

SausageInACan Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Is it private? If not can you claim a city for me? Edit: What time zone are you? Edited March 9, 2013 by SausageInACan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trip Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) It is a public region(I think ) that I created. I'm a bit sad because the first one I did had people in it pretty quick. I'm in EST or GMT-5(depending on DST). I sent you an origin friend invite. I think if you pick that up and then jump on NA E2 and search for me you can just message that you want to join. Join me... Edit: I'm in now and minimized.

SausageInACan Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Ok cool I am in the same time zone. I won't be on until tomorrow. Isn't it possible to claim a city then invite a friend to take control of that city? If so can you claim one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trip Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 What would you like Norwich Hills or Trinity Point? Hurry just in case someone discovers my little public region.

trip Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) I claimed it. It did have an invite friend option, so if anything gets wacky I can just abandon it when you are ready. Come on Oyster...we all want to play.

trip Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Tomorrow I suspect I will be up here most of the evening. I'd say from like 3 or 5pm - the wee hours. My crappy games at MyCrappyGames.com Free copy of Save The Puppies and Kittens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudoboi Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 apparently you can't play with other users who don't own the same dlcs https://twitter.com/GWJRabbit/status/310035518689787905 that could pretty much destroy this entire idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Oyster...we all want to play. Yeah sorry ended up just having a 2 player game with miss cloud to test it out. Problems we have found allthough we could see each other on friend search we couldn't add each other. Without being able to friend in game can't find the option to invite to a private region. (may have worked this out now need to test it first!) Ingame Chat is also bugged it was taking ages for messages to come. If we are going to do this might have to be a temp public region until we can work out how to invite people in.
