Maxis has added extra servers to accommodate more players to connect to Simcity. This time they have added the Antarctica server bringing a total of 21 servers players can choose from. Each server is region-free, so players may choose to connect outside of their intended region. However, the cities you create in a particular server will stay locked to that server. If you intend to play with friends, you must both choose the same server in order to play together.
Simcity v1.4 Patch
- Update to the “select a server” dialog in the game launcher. This will now indicate which servers you have active cities on
- Fix issue where selection shard did not display when previously selected server is down
- We’ve fixed a problem where some players were getting stuck when switching shards in the server select menu
- Opened 1 new server, Antarctica
Maxis also intends to temporarily shut down Europe West 2 and Europe West 3 in order to further improve server stability and performance.
