EA Maxis says players should expect server outages "for a few hours" while the update rolls out.<br /><br />Some of the issues surrounding city processing will be resolved, as will problems with spontaneous fluctuations of tourists, school buses getting stuck, sudden air pollution creeping in, and more. The full list of changes is published on the EA Maxis forums.<br /><br />Meanwhile, SimCity for Mac is still <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/10/simcity-cheetah-speed-returns-mac-version-in-june/">set to arrive in June</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/20/simcity-2-0-update-on-april-22-mayors-getting-mansions/">SimCity 2.0 update on April 22, mayors getting mansions</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 20 Apr 2013 02:45:00 EST.

Square Enix's second Final Fantasy MMO, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/final-fantasy-14"><em>Final Fantasy XIV</em></a>, is getting re-released after its <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/28/square-enix-ceo-feels-final-fantasy-14-greatly-damaged-brand/">tumultuous launch</a>, and that means it's also getting a new name: "Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn."<br /><br />Square Enix says the game is "rebuilt from the ground up," and features "a new world to explore and storyline to experience." A CGI-heavy trailer for the new content can be found above.<br /><br />Version 2.0, now "A Realm Reborn," is heading to PlayStation 3 <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/14/final-fantasy-14-version-2-0-begins-charging-this-year-ps3-ve/">later this year</a>.
