Oh for the love of GOD! I go to EA support chat I get his message:
Quote:
Techchat is down for maintenance

We will resume session at 9:00 AM (PST) tomorrow.
This message has been up for three days now.

So I go to their tech support question system and ask a question and I get this:

Quote:
This help system only provides billing and account assistance for the subscription based Online games shown in the Product selection menu. If you need help with any other Electronic Arts product, please go to http://eatech.custhelp.com and click the Technical Support link. If you were looking for help with Pogo games or Club Pogo, please use the Help link on the Pogo.com web site for assistance. If you have a General Question about our services that is not directly related to any of the Products shown in the Product selection menu, please use the Back button on your browser and select the Non-Billing Issues Category.
I F**KING HATE EA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The help system is only good for ON LINE game subscriptions only!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!

Hell there is not even a catagory for SimCity 4 in their choice boxes!!!!!!!!!!! I do so desprately want to contact someone at EA games and yell at them at the top of my lungs!

"FIX YOUR GD WEB SITE!"

Why do the big companies make getting help so difficult?

Man I thought it an impossible task, making SimCity 4 into a worth while game, but boy did they pull it off here.

This expansion pack really does a lot for making the game a great game. I actually enjoy playing it now and have even crashed a chopper, both the two wheel kind and the whirly bird kind.

This is by far well worth the money I forked out.

The game is now quite fun to play. If you have not checked it out, this deleuxe Version is well worth it.

Now if we can just get www.simcity4.com to fix thier web site.

To answer your question "Why do the big companies make getting help so difficult?"

It's because they want your money and don't give a rats *** about it once they have it.

Actually I think a description of the product is definitely necessary. Especially for a series game like SimCity. What is different in 4 than in 3? These are the kinds of questions consumers use to determine whether or not to purchase an item.

It worked for MOO3. I preordered that POS based on descriptions on the Web site and the forums. The descriptions painted a much different picture than what the game really is. I was expecting something more like MOO2.

I started playing and was soo bored I kept walking into the other room to see what was on TV. The wife kept asking me "Aren't you playing your new game?"

Well, you got me there. Granted though, I think most everyone has heard of the SimCity series. The title is self-explanatory too. The biggest difference between 3k and 4 is the region play though.
