"Sign up for the €5 monthly charge (or €12 for three months), however, and Cities XL transforms into an MMO. You get five plots of land on one of the game's globes, which act as servers and house a few thousand other cities. You can't simply transfer your offline city into the online game – instead, the resources available to you are determined by the other players nearby, as well as terrain. This means that every resource in the online game will come from another player's city, giving Cities XL subscribers the chance to create and maintain their very own player-dependent global economy."
This week’s Humble Weekly Bundle, Focus Home Interactive 2, features a variety of different games which will please RPG fans to city-simulator fans.

I like how they put "Build Huge Cities" in there. From what I see in Simcity. Cities are so small.
