problem in making it like a mmo is, what if after 2-5yrs from now players around your region is starting to quit one after another and you're the only one left then what happen now? can you transfer your city to another region thats still active?
another possible problem in the future that i could see heck every one knows it already (typical mmo syndrome) is the item mall. once ea implemented this (maybe for some special building DLC aka world wonders..or bigger city space )
then good luck for those who dont want to spend thousand of dollars to be competitive or be on top of the ladder rank etc ect
they just say that to attract more victims and their PR will probably say we will upgrade server to accommodate more players but in fact they will just w8 for majority of players to lose interest in playing and quit the game and viola bandwidth problem solve without spending cash
nah it be the same~ EA is consistent of f*ck*ng its consumer.
simcity4 is way better than this .
in a weeks time legit player/consumer will still have a hard time connecting to the server and dealing with occasionally dc. while those who pirate and already crack it are having a blast playing the game without interruption (dc,server crash).
