God-sim SimCity facing serious technical problems, which in many cases cause the game completely unplayable. The cause is not yet officially announced, but it would seem that the servers can not handle the pressure.

The Thursday by Electronic Arts released PC and Mac game SimCity faces significant technical problems. Many gamers complain about connection problems. It started last Tuesday with complaints from the U.S. market, and European gamers Thursday joined them. The topic is one of the many threads complaining about SimCity can be found on the website of Electronic Arts.
Some of the injured players get even no contact with the SimCity
servers, while another part no further than the first menus and so the
game can not play.

Earlier this week, the U.S. release is already disturbed by similar problems. That was according to
the publisher due to the "overwhelming popularity" of the game,
allowing more people at the Origin servers wanted than the servers could
handle. The publisher said to have made ​​adjustments so that the international releases on Thursday and Friday against the same problems would run into. These adjustments do not seem the desired effect,

The connection problems are striking because development studio EA
Maxis seemed sure beforehand that there would be no major problems. Tweakers early SimCity producer Jason Haber earlier this year to any server problems. Haber promised that any problems are quickly solved would be. Despite this, EA and EA Maxis still have no answer to the server problems that many gamers are currently applying their game.
