And worth, I am sure your workplace would not mind you being late. After all, our entire Region depends on you. The responsibility lies in your hands and your hands alone.


No pressure
*sharpens pitchfork*.

Ha, I feel so important.

I will begin the download on my machine at 10:01 just like everyone else. If it seems like it's going fast, I will set up the region tonight. If it's taking forever, i'm going to go to bed and I will get the region set up at 5am.

Reminder that you need to friend me in Origin for me to add you to the region. I haven't checked my friends list lately, I will do that later tonight, but make sure I am on your list otherwise I won't be able to invite you to the region. I'll post your names here if i'm missing anyone.

Details will be posted in this thread. Feel free to PM me or post in this thread anytime. I will check it regularly.

When I go to your profile my only option is to unfriend you, but I also can't see you on my friends list so I'm not sure what is happening there.

Couldn't you follow individual Sims and even import your "The Sims" Sims in SimCity4? Its been a while since I've played it.

Same thing here. I'm guessing he has it set to not show when he's on/offline or something.

The new SimCity is the best urban-planning simulation ever created. And it’s fun.

Yes you could import your sims from "The Sims" into SC4. I think the maximum was 4 or something.

Someone who actually did it could maybe fill in the details?

[QuadCityImages]

I was just thinking that all the people complaining about the "follow a Sim" idea didn't notice that that ship sailed with SC4.

Hey everyone.

Getting lots of private messages asking for the vent info. I'll PM the people that have asked once I get home.

oilers_fan, I do not see you on my friends list. Delete me and add me again.

QuadCityImages, I do see you on my friends list.

Ah yes, see you now. Was looking for just jpworth. My Origin friends list has increased fivefold in the last week... Before it was just the 3 of my friends that play BF3.

[worth]

what do I show up as?

Edit: I think I still show up as jeff12021983 for a lot of people. I've tried changing it but it doesn't seem to take so you can look for me under that handle as well. I think that must be a default EA thing because I would never make a username like that.

[BlackArcher101]

Ya, you show up as jeff12021983. Had me confused for a bit.

I have setup 3 channels:

• SIM CITY (general chat)
• Titan Gorge
• Viridian Woods

If you would like the vent info, please send me a PM and I'll supply you with the server information.

I have some simple rules while using the vent.

1. 1. Watch your language. The occasional swear is ok, but if you come into the channel and every second word you say would make a nun blush...then don't.
2. Don't be a dick. I'll kick you and ban you.
3. Respect your fellow gamers.
4. PLEASE have a mic and headphones that WORK and don't cause us all the yell "turn down your mic!" If you don't know how to do this, then Google is your friend.
5. Feel free to listen without having to talk. Some people may not be comfortable talking, but like to listen in on the wisdom that is being spouted off by others.
6. USE YOUR CP NAME IN THE VENT. So we all know who the heck you are.
7. 6. Have fun!

Link to download vent: http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php

You want to download the CLIENT program.

Cheers!

^ In case anyone would like to join in vent.

Less then 2 hours to go, I feel like a kid inside some kinda of store.

[TorqueDog]

Did anyone get their key yet? I don't even see Sim City in my games list.

Sorry dude, I don't have a mic. I'm just there for the scenery.

[CubicleGeek]

I'm surprised that they didn't preload the game. Everything else I've bought off Origin preloaded anywhere up to a week in advance.
