Server Updates!

Good morning mayors,

I'd just like to quickly inform you all that EA has been working to get more people being able to play the game. In order to do so, they have added more servers.

Here's a quote from the community manager:

Saturday March 9th 
Update: 2:19am PST New Servers and Maintenance - http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/9348373.page 
Friday March 8th 
Update: 11:19pm PST We have added 3 new servers, EU East 4, NA East 4, and EU West 6 
Update: 7:30pm PST We have added the new servers EU West 5 and NA West 3 
Update: 5:06pm PST We have added the new server NA West 4 
Update 4:23pm PST We have added the new server North America East 3 
Update 1:16pm PST We've added the new server Oceanic 2. Please note you may experience a waiting room while we allow new players to join 
Update: 900am PST We are currently aware that some servers are not performing optimally and are actively working on them.

Also SmCity's official twitter account posted a tweet regarding server updates:

"Server Update: We're still working on EU 4, good availability on others especially our 8 new servers, so try playing on one of those!"

It's great that now it's much easier to get into a server as more are available. But if you take a look at The Server Slip-Up  article I wrote, you'll see why there are still server issues. You'll also see why adding more servers isn't the best solution. One of the main reasons being that if your region is on one server & that server is full for hours and hours. Leaving you bored waiting to get into your main server you use, to play in your region.

Thanks for reading.
