I live in California, it will work, but you MUST be online. I know Mote Cristo says it will run "normal" still, but this is not true...you definitely must be connected to their server. I have been playing tonight between server outages.

I use Xp service pack 3... It shouldn't be too difficult to get .net framework and that other Microsoft thing they ask for.

That does make a whole lot of sense...thanks for the heads - up.

Got mine from chat also!

Their website does in fact say you can play offline...and so does the login screen. So why doesn't it work?

Sounds like a fun idea!

"The most disappointing piracy happend this year is done by EA self. Snatching Simcity away from the faithful Simcity community, who made that game also during the last 10-15 years by paying and playing and modding etc. because they like to play with a *real* city *simulator*... that is also piracy. Simecity is morral also owned by the huge faithful Simcity player community and they feel in large majority that EA has robbed their Simcity away. Not bringing out the real Simcity 5 developed by Maxis, but a city societies game under the name Simcity, that is not different from devastating a renowned city building and management simulator. Shame you EA! you deserve the outcry from the Simcity community and the many low rated reviews for the newest so named Simcity version." ....I'd hate to take this one into a court of law **

Zoning? I hope roads are not drawn automatically when we zone (if you plan on including zoning). That annoys the crap out of me. Could we look at multi level highways/interchanges as a transport idea? Id love to have some really tall highways weaving in and out through my buildings. (and el trains/ monorails, too!) I also am hoping for a vastly inproved interface over CL. I like a huge city I can micromanage right down to the sidewalk. I enjoy the screenshots so far. Between Cities Unlimited and Starcraft II I hope for a blast next year!
