SimCity server page gives at-a-glance updates
EA Maxis has launched an official SimCity server status page, showing the current condition of all regional servers. Go ahead and bookmark it, but maybe hold off visiting just yet because at time of writing it’s returning looping errors rather than useful information. Possibly this is because everyone’s trying to look at it at once, which is kind of perfect, given the social sim’s launch struggles. The latest on dit is that Maxis could take the game offline with little trouble, but Maxis boss Lucy Bradshaw says the problems are almost under control.
Thanks, Joystiq.
