Thought I would check in with you all, say hello, and let you know how things were going this week at Maxis.
Makin' Magic went Beta this week (tiring...), and a few of our best and brightest SimCity community webmasters came to Maxis to see and actually play Rush Hour. We had a great time with them. Hopefully, we will soon be able to get most of you to Maxis to see and play The Sims 2.
Below are answers to questions that I have received from you in the last few weeks. I hope these will clarify your concerns:
"If you thought the world of The Sims was already pretty wild, wait until your sims start casting spells, making potions, and raising pet dragons at home!"
Looking for a place to chat back and forth about The Sims with Maxis employees? Check out the “Maxis Thread of the Day.” Each day brings a new topic pertaining to The Sims, The Sims 2, The Expansion Packs or The Exchanges. Join in the discussion!
On September 8th, 2003 we will be removing chat from the “The Sims” site. Unfortunately, the chat client we were using is no longer supported by the manufacturer. On the bright side many fabulous fan sites offer round the clock chat.
