The Sims Online is back! I’ll give you a second to remember that this existed.
We’re going on ten years since The Sims Online was shut down by Electronic Arts, but nothing online ever dies forever. Unfortunately for players, while promising for the developers, is that interest in the revival has been so overwhelming that the servers just couldn’t handle the influx. In addition to North American players, the game has drawn an equal number of potential customers from Brazil. The DDoS attacks were also an issue.
With over 1000 people, we would not even be able to get everyone in the building, and having all new users play at exactly the same time without lots to split everyone into would be a recipe for disaster. Picking a server configuration to allow this many users to play would be a complete shot in the dark – and we wouldn’t know the root cause or true capacity of a server configuration if we were way over it (it would just crash immediately)
For right now, the game is going back into closed beta until the problems can be ironed out.
