Gamers can see whether the game in their own region is ready

Developer Maxis and publisher Electronic Arts are launching an official server status page for SimCity, designed to allow players to take a quick look at the state of the infrastructure that supports the game experience.

Gamers should bookmark it so that they have a simple to use resource that tells them whether the game is playable on their favorite server.

Maxis has upgraded the infrastructure since SimCity was launched and at the moment, most of the listed servers have free spots, although a number of North American ones only accept players that have already created a region.

A source from inside Maxis has recently stated that it would be easy for the development team to create an entirely offline version of SimCity in order to allow all players to access the game.
