You are in the same boat as everybody,

I bought it at 10PM and the servers were already down so I couldn't try it... I hope they get this fixed

EA really needs to do an accounting and see if the money they save fighting piracy outweighs the lost sales and long term bad will this sort of crap generates.

This is the reason why I am waiting and not buying the game.. It is really annoying that you need to have an online server to connect to all the time.. and also, I don't know if EA will keep their servers running in few years from now.. this is really annoying :(

Amen.  EA wants to harness the power of the internet?  Fine, then they will have to suck up the other effect from the internet -- the review bombing going on at sites like Amazon (overall 1 star out of 5 rating, hundreds of 1-star, grossly negative reviews).

So not to say I told you so or anything. But I sure everyone remembers DIABLO III's fuster cluck. So what made anyone think this would be any different?

There is a HUGE difference between this and Diablo III. When Diablo 2 was at its height, online co-op play was the core of the experience. Playing online and trading with others was an integral part of the game. Plus, Blizzard almost had to make D3 always online because of the duping of items and spammers and pirates. I was glad when I heard D3 would be always online. SimCity on the other hand has traditionally been a solo game. The game creators came up with the idea of commerce between cities as a way to jam the always online thing down our throats. There was no need to do this. You all know what is next...They will screw up Madden too!

there are online and offline versions of diablo 2 so no there was no reason to have online all the time the answer they could have done for multiplayer is a whole nother char on a server and all the online account info on it as well just like wow. and all offline char is on your server. Basicaly two different games like blackops 2 has a multiplayer game and single player and you decide what one two launch. All it was is greed. same **** different day.
