Snow day yesterday, stayed home from work, put in a good 8 hours. They took down the server I was on so I changed to another one and created a couple other types of cities. No huge outages, no mayhem, and only a minor inconvenience on launch day (that was probably exacerbated by raging vandals trying to DDOS the game servers once they had a target).
It'll be nice not having to copy save game files back and forth if I decide to play on a laptop while traveling.
I'll be interested to see how hard of a time the crack guys have getting things to work reliably with all the inter-city data that's being handled on EA's servers. |
