Downtime at Sims Forums over the weekend - Minty - 04-06-2012 07:22 PM

As you may all have noticed, the Sims Forums went offline for a couple of days. No idea why this occured but no doubt Matt will be here (babies allowing) to explain.

In the meantime, carry on!

Yeah, sorry about that. There was a server migration which took a little longer than expected.

Apologies for an inconvenience caused...

thats alright (although I was half thinking that you shut-down the site forever).


RE: Downtime at Sims Forums over the weekend - matt - 06-06-2012 10:14 AM

I would never shut the site down! I couldn't do that to you guys ... both of you! Chatter

Plus when/if Sims 4 comes out I'm sure we'll have an influx and it'll be like 2008 all over again ... good times...

Actually, thinking about it, is it worth creating any Sim City forums on here? As the new Sim City should be out soonish? Anyone planning on playing it? It's looking pretty good.

I'm planning on getting SimCity sometime after it comes out, due to me hating EA to bits. Tongue

The online authentication is sure to cause some controversy though. Having to be online to play singler player is just crazy, although it'll prevent the piracy of the game ... for a few weeks anyway!

I know and plus they haven't said anything about it being on macs. I probably shouldn't say this, but I might end up pirating it when it becomes available (I seriously doubt that I will pirate it), although if I don't pirate it I will get it either second hand or some other way, which means EA doesn't get my money.

Yes, and wasn't it lovely of the host to not bother telling you about it! PissedOff

Matt, regarding my second PM, any chance of getting me sorted back on today please?

I'll probably get the new SimCity. I hadn't heard of the online thing though, that sucks.
Anyway, maybe we could just have a new board for it here?
