Got an email about a new update (5.0) coming out. Haven't played in a while (haven't really had the time to just sit down and fire it up for a couple hours), but reading through the last two or three updates they've released in the last two months, a hell of a lot of changes, fixes and upgrades that they've made that should greatly improve the game. I'm gonna have to find some time to fire this thing up again and see what changes have been made, so how much better the game is.
I really would like to buy the theme park expansion pack but $10 is pretty pricey IMO. They need to release bigger maps before they do anything else.
P.s. I checked awhile back but it doesn't appear as though anyone has played our region in 2 almost two months.
They just launched patch 7.0... but it seems like all of the same issues that plague the game continue to plague the game. Is there anyone left from our region who is still playing or will be playing again or is the TGT region dead?
Haven't played in a while. Might pick it up sometime but between Tiger and NCAA leagues, I've been pretty busy.

I think I've given up on Sim City for a while. Now that football season is here . Won't have much time. Highest Population I ever got was 80k and that took a long while.
Yep I'm done with this bad boy and REALLY disappointed with how flawed/bugged this game was/is. Complete debacle and really sad I wasted Amazon credit on this [censored] excuse for a game.
SimCity Cities of Tomorrow Expansion Pack Coming November 12
Bring the cities of today into the world of tomorrow. Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced that the SimCity™ Cities of Tomorrow* expansion pack is currently in development for Mac and PC and will be arriving November 12. Built upon the foundation of the ultimate city building simulation that has more than 2 million players worldwide, SimCity Cities of Tomorrow gives players the ability to transform their cities as they take them on a journey 50 years into the future. Using new technologies and experimental urban planning techniques, mayors will shape the destinies of their cities, thriving in a utopia of clean technologies, or a dystopia of hyper-commercialism.
“Will the world of tomorrow be a utopia powered by clean energy or an industrial society consumed by mass commercialism?” said Patrick Buechner, General Manager, Maxis Emeryville. “With SimCity Cities of Tomorrow, players can build the future as they imagine it. Transport your Sims on MagLev, power your cities with fusion reactors or tidal wave generators, manufacture a legion of drones to serve your Sims and build massive MegaTowers that dwarf modern skyscrapers. We’re giving you plausible technologies to take your cities onto a journey 50 years into the future. What will you create?”
SimCity Cities of Tomorrow gives players an entirely new way to dream about their city of the future. New regions, new future technology, new city specializations and new transportation methods will transform the way that cities take shape and evolve. Will they create a utopian society underpinned by clean technology under the auspices of the Academy, or encourage giant corporation OmegaCo to strip-mine natural resources and pollute in the name of feeding consumerism? For the first time in the history of the franchise, cities can be built vertically with enormous multi-zone MegaTowers that extend high into the sky and dwarf the rest of the city. Education and research will help players discover new technologies that make their cities less polluted, less reliant on natural resources, managed day-to-day by service drones and fueled by green energy. As the population increases, Sims will live, work, and play closer together. When players have finished deciding whether they want their Sims to live together in harmony, or as members of an exploited workforce, they can rain chaos upon them by unleashing an all-new disaster exclusive to this expansion pack.
The SimCity base game is available now on Mac and PC and developed by Maxis. SimCity is cross-platform compatible, so all players play together across the same servers. Players can play both versions with the same Origin account, allowing them to seamlessly continue their cities, achievements and leaderboard progress across the Mac and PC. Since its launch in March, SimCity has had seven major game updates that have made upgrades to the core simulation and provided game content and features at no additional charge.
Lame. where is the bigger city maps ? Not sure this helps .
The press release mentions "new regions," so maybe that means larger city areas? I'm not optimistic, but hopefully they will go into detail on this pack soon.
I doubt it. They seem to wanna kill the game by adding useless crap. And not making bigger regions. IMO "new regions" just means different types and layouts not bigger and better.
I might fire this back up, I havent played it since I got my new comp so I am sure it will at least be pretty.
Yeah the small regions kinda killed it for me. You get to a point then that's it.

Yep. When we did the TGT region, I completely maxed out my grid and had nowhere to grow my city but up. All of my land was used up. Being as I was the first one to get to that point, and had the best power source of the region, you guys were all relying on my power, waste and water to help you all out, but it was just draining me like hell because I couldn't keep expanding and growing and bringing in new citizens to up my tax base.
Eventually I just hit the tipping point where I was doing whatever I could to break even each month. Then of course the dumbass game wouldn't allow me back into my own damn city because of some issue with accessing it, so all the work I had done was lost and I had to start over with a less than ideal plot of land. They give it bigger plots for cities, I'll jump back in. But for now, unless I'm going full private on an entire region and building all the cities up to my liking in regards to sharing resources, then there's not really a great way to go about things.
That's what I am hoping also that I can run a private region and do it all myself ( or at most one other person), there is a disclaimer I am doing this more for the game graphics with a new computer more than I enjoyed the game so if I finish great if not oh well.
I still visit our old region on occasion. Not much has changed gameplay wise... oh and PS our region has HUGE crime problems.
This game could have been so amazing but instead it has probably killed the SimCity franchise. I don't see another SimCity game in the near or distant future.
As a surprise to no one (other than how long it took)...
SimCity Offline Is Coming http://t.co/l1UqiP1Q7f

The great thing to come of this....MODDING!

All this means is they are going to pull support for this game sooner rather than later. With the last few updates the game is playing pretty well. However, the small regions are the real killer of the game. The devs said that issue cannot be fixed.
Maybe with offline modding, that can be fixed.
