So if i re-install Citiesxl (& upgrade) or buy the new 2012 version am i still going to have to join an

internet "world" (for a monthly fee) to play all the options or am i gonna have everything available to me (offline) by purchasing the disc?post-424658-0-94593400-1319008748_thumb.

Read the FAQ, wiki, or any sticky thread and it should be obvious. You must be oblivious to Cities XL 2011, which means (if all you have is the original) you must purchase the full version of 2012. You have to activate it online.


Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

Words to live by:
"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11

"Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3

Just wanna make sure this is right.

I have Cities XL original on Steam.

I can download Cities XL 2011 upgrade for 12.49.

then I can download Cities XL 2012 upgrade for another 12.49.

Is this correct? Coz then I'm willing to do it for $26 bucks.

Metaboli 2012 is incompatible with steam 2011, of course.

Hi.I´m also a n o o b in this game.I played XL a cupple of years ago,and that time I could do it off,-or online,where there was other players too.

Now I´ve just downloaded XL 2012,and it seems that ther´s no online part anymore.

And this is the n o o b question:Is this game not online anymore?I mean,-no chat,no trade,no visiting other players city´s?

Please avoid answer my question,if you feel annoying about this silly n o o b :whatevs: .

Aha,I found the answer myself

"However, on March 8, 2010 the online service was closed and the game became single-player only."

That´s a damn shame though,but still a good game.

The OP hated Planet Offer and you want it back? What irony! This proves you certainly cannot please everybody.

    Actually i have the original and 2011...just never bothered with the online after the trial period of the original as it looked like they only offered "the good stuff" online.... basically selling me a shell of a game....

    2011 never gave me alot of choices either.

    What might be nice is if they gave players something like the way ppl play BF3 online...a way to connect to ppl but not using servers for game storage.

    Your cities would be stored on your system but ppl could view them (and your stats) and communicate to you thru a server system if you were connected at the time...just a thought

    Cites XL 2011 is pretty much the Planet Offer reworked to be off line in solo mode. All the "Good Stuff" in the Planet Offer and Limited Edition were included in 2011.
