Unfortunately for North American players, an assortment of server issues have plagued the release causing hours of delay. Origin’s servers were immediately overloaded; which prevented the game from being downloaded by new users. Some users are also reporting a “server overloaded” error message which forces them into a waiting line for access.
Origin is currently experiencing some delays due to heavy traffic. We're just as excited to play SimCity as you are! Hang tight…
