seems simple enough and they have boosted the servers overnight as it was as slow as a hamster yesterday. Its interesting to see the strategy the 'top players are going for. some have hundreds of roads - and nearly every one is sabotaged to provide no rent - OR they have 1 or 2 roads and fill them with buildings so there is no room to place any sabotage. I was just merrily buying up all the roads around my beighbourhood with no real strategy - so will have to think about it a bit!

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. Do you want to add me as a friend, same name as on here, not sure it makes any difference to have friends on it??

I already own a quarter of my town, I only bought 3 streets. Plus I bought my old street in the UK.

My old street in the UK but where I live here was open. ADD as I am I will probably forget to log on and lose property in the 7 day rule. That's how I think most of the property sales will happen in a week or so.

Hey I just wanted to post this blog and it answers some questions.

It seems that when they have the game running nice and smooth for everyone they are going to reset the whole game. That is going to be the middle of next week maybe.

I already have my strategy planned out.

I started playing and then suddenly got paranoid. I thought probably 99% of people will buy their own road first, so now they have your date of birth, name and street......

I'm just being paranoid right? I sign up to things all the time online with more information than that, so why am I wary of this? :unsure:

I have seen the things you send on facebook, but this makes you paranoid? :rofl:
