Monopoly City Streets

It's quite addictive. You're basically given $3m and can buy any street in the world (real streets -

from Google maps!) and start your own empire.

Unfortunately, their servers are VERY slow at the moment and it's almost impossible to do anything;

most streets in big cities have already been taken. I managed to grab 10 NYC streets yesterday

and even built a few houses. See how it goes today.

This sounds fun, but it is really slow.

They are working on it

From their blog:

We ANTICIPATED an opening rush when we launched the Monopoly City Streets online game, but the first few hours have surpassed even our greatest EXPECTATIONS.

We are in the process of increasing our firepower and expect to be running more smoothly within the next several hours.

Thanks for your patience as we work as fast as we can to resolve this and get everyone playing and trading on Monopoly City Streets.

That was yesterday. Today's update:

So then... today has been a rather busy day to say the least. We appreciate your enthusiasm to try Monopoly City Streets. Thank you for your patience as we work behind the scenes to make the necessary changes to accommodate the traffic to the game.

We had planned for a lot of traffic on launch day and had been load testing the game - in fact, we've been testing and optimizing for a whole month. However, between the enthusiasm of Monopoly fans around the world, everyone who was excited to try out the new experience and non-stop mentions of the game on Twitter, blogs and everywhere else, our servers were overwhelmed. Based on the stats we have, we show a daily rate of about 1.7 million unique visitors, but the figure is likely far higher.

Please be patient as we work to make the necessary changes. In the meantime, if you'd like to help us design a building for the game, see an earlier posting about the SketchUp contest. And, if you'd like to follow us on Twitter, our official address is: MonopolyCitySts

Thank you again for your patience!

No, it's actually pretty random. The server was so slow, I couldn't register my nick name,

so I kept trying - clicking and typing in different names - and ended up registering random

garbage

I think I can still find it out!

I just discovered something. If you have an expensive st, you get more money for the property rent, but you don't have to pay more for the property. That's a bit messed up.
