Hello BlackjackWidow!
I totally agree with you on this point: "None of these are new features; it shouldn't take any time for development, except putting together a script to activate the switches. It would increase the goodwill and organize the abandoned server cities. It's a win-win. ! So what do you say EA? "
Since I bought the Game SimCity (I really LOVE it !!), and I had the first "problem" with the "abandoned cities" that we can't "catch", "I complained, fought, wrote, called support a lot of times "unsuccessfully unfortunately .... EA did not attend me, and did not attend any Gamer in this sense!
Unfortunately we are in 2020 and besides "Abandon SimCity" EA has NEVER given correct support to Gamers that have SimCity or that LOVE SimCity !! And "freeing up" all upgrades or small packages as you say here, SHOULD BE THE MINIMUM that EA can do to demonstrate RESPECT FOR THE SIMCITY GAMER !!
I agree with you! Count on me to make EA listen to us !!
