No, but there should be a preload up soon. I can't guarantee there will be, but they're usually pretty good about that.

Any word on being able to preload yet? And at what time we can start playing this puppy?

From what the EA forums say, it'll unlock at 12:01am EST March 5th and that's all the preload we get :/

Yikes!

Has anyone been watching the Let's All Be A Mayor live streams this past week? The game looks so sweet! I've preordered the Digital Deluxe edition. Can't wait to play!

What about those that the game releases on the 8th in their area? If the game unlocks on the 5th, that's a good preload time.

So... Shall we start a name list for those that want to do Multi-city play?

Sure.

[Dane]

I wish it would pre load!

[LUTZIFER]

If they just put out a Beta 3 they better hurry up if this is supposed to be out on the 5th I'd say, lol.

Anyways... totally looking forward to getting it. Should be fun.

Considering the release date is still the 5th, I'd call that a preload, if not an impressive one.

It's like two hours to midnight (release). I wish it would allow it

Most games from digital sites that don't offer a preload release in the daytime though, although I know that's not true for all titles.

I wish they had done it differently, but either way it's hard to get all worked up about playing a game earlier when I have so many :woot:

[Matthew S.]

So who is all gonna be on tonight? I'm gonna probably set up a multi play thing as soon as i get on.

It looks like the cities sizes are very small so you pretty much run out of room quickly. Then you can only rezone used land at higher densities and have to destroy building to put down landmarks.
