Electronic Arts hasn’t had much luck these
past few weeks as it received a lot of negative feedback from customers and
critics specifically the mess it made during the launch of its open-ended
city-building computer and console game series – Sim City.
The game was plagued by server problems
during its launch causing gamers to experience a lot of download, loading and
login problems. The company has issued a formal statement saying that they
weren’t able to anticipate the influx of users who logged in during the launch
of the game.
But aside from the major server issues, the
game still suffers from a number of bugs and processing issues. So today, EA
announced that it will be bringing a major update to SimCity that aims to fix
majority of the issues faced by gamers.
These changes include the proper processing
of cities as well as the random appearance of air pollution and unexpected
number of tourist will be fixed. A fix for players who are always getting struck
by natural disasters will also be fixed, while mansions for city mayors will
also be added.
Electronic Arts has already notified its
users that in order to install the updates, the company will need to shut down
all of its servers for a few hours on Monday at around 1pm EST in the US. Any thoughts about SimCity? Please do tell us
