Re: SimCity 5

i just had the same problem, only way i can play again is if someone in my area gifts me money

Really wish they had a restart city option... if anyone can gift me enough to atleast build a road with some residents, I can eventually get enough to restart.

Re: SimCity 5

I didn't know money can be gifted. You're both in OSVille? I think I can string some.

Re: SimCity 5

Did OSVille fill up already? I see a couple of cities with 0 population and 0 money, but it has someones name in it.

Re: SimCity 5

An arsonist from Neverwinter was wreaking havoc in my city. Thankfully Neverwinter's mayor, buickbeast, provided me with 4 patrol cars, and the criminal was rooted out. Crime + fires = not a fun problem to deal with.

Yeah, I wondered about that too. I thought maybe it was some kind of read-only thing where nothing that happens during spec mode gets saved. I mean, what if a disaster hit while someone was visiting a city? Would the actual mayor come back to find his city in ruins?

I have to assume disasters are off when you're offline, but what happens with services you buy from other people? Like, I buy recycling services from some people and sell power to others. Do they just get a lump sum when they log on for all the recycling I've been buying? Or does that money just disappear?

Seems like that could put people in an unwarranted budget crunch if they came back on to find that they had been buying power or whatever from somebody else for days/months on end.

Well, after reading this it looks like I'll have to purchase this game in the next couple of days.

Since OSVille seems to be full, perhaps New OSVille is in order?

The way it worked in Simcity 4 was everything has a rate, and you only pay/get paid during the time you're on in that specific city at that rate. So technically you can logon, buy water from someone, and never play that city ever again, and you wouldn't pay a dime. Meanwhile the city that's selling the water would earn money at that rate for all the time they are managing their city - whether or not the other city was being used.

I'm guessing it's still the same, as I can't imagine wrapping my head around anything more complex then that.

Looks like there's 2 cities left in the first OSVille. When i first looked at it, I didn't really know what I was looking at exactly. But either way looks like OSVille2 will be needed

Re: SimCity 5

I think some guy created OSville2 already but not sure. Would not hurt to make as many as possible because since I suck at this game, I am playing 2 cities so far and learning new things each city.

The game has ran perfect so far *crosses fingers* and deff worth the purchase.

you have to be in my area to gift it, if you are i'd pay you back double what you give me, i get simoleons into the 500,000's or more every time, i dunno how i go into debt so fast when i was doing so good

probably mine, i tried deleting everything, and built a refinery and 2 trade depots, i was gonna try importing crude, and exporting the fuel i made at the refinery for profit, it would of worked but, my city for some reason was dried up of water, even though i had water connected to my land, so i was ****ed, i was buying power and water from my neighbors, but they didn't have enough spare power or water, to fulfill my refinery's needs

No it's the pop up window over the cities aren't updating. I've seen a couple that had 0 and were giant thriving cities.

Re: SimCity 5

Holy crap! My city was just attacked by zombies! Thankfully the sun came up and they all disintegrated, because half my simcitizens were eaten. Man, that was intense. Now I have to bulldoze all the abandoned houses and rebuild.
