Are any of the regions larger than others. I completely maxed out the land space for three cities and have so many things yet to build. At this point, I'm micro-managing things to expand ever so slightly.

Also having bugs were regional functions aren't working like buying power or college research. My university is in one city but has no power, while the nuclear plant will probably blow in the other city from unskilled workers.

I believe it's Veridian Woods that has something like 16 cities and 3 or 4 great works sites. Full of natural resources too.
 
Alright, kids, I've started a private region (16/4) on NA East 3. Send me a friend req if you want to join.

as long as you can get back onto the same server. got booted off of one, says its full, and can't access my cities. join a new server for the first time and you ahve to do the tutorial again and obviously start fresh.

I hate that they keep making you do as tutorial for each server. I just start it then immediately quit back to the main menu after the tutorial loads.

I didn't know that worked. I just clicked through everything. Doesn't take too long but it is annoying.
 
This made me feel nostalgic. SimCity 3000 was one of my favorite games when I was in middle school... I feel old. 🙁 It is perfect time to release a new SimCity, it has been very long time since a game I would like to play came out.

Now if they could only make a new Quake, new Monkey Island, new Age of Empires, new Hexen, new Samurai Shodown etc. I can start to feel young again. 🙂

You can get around the tutorial. I have played on 4 different servers and have avoided it. Don't ask me for exact steps, but basically quit out the tutorial quickly and it allows you start a regular game.
 
Is there a good guide on how the whole trade/mining/drilling/smelting stuff works? Like what exactly helps produce more money? I seem to be a bit lost on this one...I have trade stations with addons, and all trucks, yet everyone complains about not having anywhere to store freight?

I would also like to know more about layouts, as my industrial always complain about no workers, when I have 200k+ population...

How the working with other cities works out exactly ... I do not see a draw if I ask to use other cities utilities, it does not show up in my hourly budget report, or does it?

I also am curious what happens when I volunteer my cops/fireman/medical/garbage/etc to go to other cities. Say I have 4 ambulances, I volunteer another city 2 of them, does my city only have 2 left then?

Yes, that's what I said I did in my previous post.
