New poll: The URBZ, Urban Sims or...?
Yesterday the sequel of Bustin' Out, The URBZ, was announced by EA. The first name that got through was Urban Sims though. We're wondering which of these names, or a selection of others, you like the best for this new game. You can vote in the new poll on the right or at this page.

Last week we asked about a European release of The Sims Online. The game has been released in the US and recently in Japan, but EA Europe has cancelled all plans to release it in Europe a few months after the original release. European players can now only play using an import version and a credit card. This lack of a release in Europe was reason for some members of the Sims Stratics message boards to start a campaign to let EA Europe know they should release the game. The poll we held here at The Sims Zone got 187 votes, of which over 50% said they want the game to be released in Europe too. This should clearly state there is interest in the game in Europe. If you want to see the complete results of the poll, check the results page. Visit our Poll Archive for more polls.

EA probably thinks that they have been using Sims' popularity for a long time. So in order to maintain the trust of gamers (especially hard-core gamers), they are thinking of using another name. Because it can be seen as a simple expansion pack to many gamers.

I believe, they are trying to see the reflection of Sim-fans and gamers to this new name. At the end Maxis won't be able to endure the popularity of the Sims and would probably add "Sim" or "Sims" word to the game.
