News

I know that my format can get a little confusing because there's no way of knowing when I update a page that was posted 10 days ago. This page will keep a running tally of all the changes I make to the site so that you can see in a glance the most recent content updates.

Day 5: Working Hard

So, I've been working hard all morning trying to pull together some mathematical calculations for a big reveal I plan on doing later today. However, my server went down so while I'm waiting, I'm updating the Web site.

Server News

Panicked by the recent unavilability of server space, Maxis has installed server farms all over the world in an attempt to stem the tide. This is big news, people. SimCity servers are now available anywhere on the globe. So if you're one of the 4,490 people living in Antarctica right now, there's even a server for you.

That's right: there's a server... for Antarctica.

Updates for March 10, 2013


Day 4: Jazzed

Rolling right along, I'm working on some of the more mundane stuff right now while I'm waiting for the servers to cooperate. I did discover an odd little bug, today. It turns out that you can have two city halls in sandbox mode. I don't know if it happens in regular mode, nor do I know if they combine to add additional bonuses or more picketers.

Many people are grumpy. However, I am not one of them.

Update: 6:16 PM

Holy crap, what a day! I got into a server about six hours ago and I had no crashes or interruptions and several of the bugs have been fixed. I'm very excited and absolutely lousy with content. It's going to take me a while, but I'm starting right now. Behold, the list below is about to grow!

Day 1: Working Hard

11 million cities launched today: I own two of them!

So, I've been playing all morning. Now that the servers have started to jam up, I'm updating the blog. I'm going to start keeping a list of changes I've made to the Web site here in this post. Based on my format, because I like to keep sections in order some of the newest stuff gets sent to the back.

I'll keep posting to this page so that you're always up-to-date.

And we're off and running. I'm working on about three hours of sleep, trying to get as much content on the site as possible. I've got my first city up and running: 50K people. Weak by my standards, but that's because I'm spending time taking lots of screenshots.
