I'll gladly join, my origin name is Goserk.

Unfortunately, yeah. That or have someone invite you to their region.

Just sent a friend request.

Multiplayer still kinda works if you invite friends from your origin list. They had it enabled before but as I'm sure you've read by now, it was near unplayable with how unstable the servers were.

Hey all, feel free to add me on origin or steam, username Goserk for both.

Sent a friend request if there are still any openings.

I would like to join as well, what server is this on?

Hey Silky, I believe when you go offline your city simply pauses until you sign in again, any connections with the other towns like sharing utilities or so on would still take place from what I've seen. As for the second question, they had to temporarily disable the region filters until they could optimize it so as to not bog down the servers, at least that was my understanding. Last I read was they are going to start bringing that back in within a week or so.
