There are routinely two or three games being made when I log on, but it can be difficult at times.   You'll probably have to start your own games in the beginning and take some lumps.

Sadly no, demigod had a good run, but all good things must come to an end.

I would still be happy with the game even if I never get good enough to play online.

it's like smoking cigarettes.  Should you start?  No.  Are they enjoyable?  Yes.  Are there problems that come along with smoking?  Yes, but for some reason you keep doing it promising yourself you will quit soon.  At least.. that's been my relationship with Demigod.  Actually.. Demigod has increased my smoking... fuckin game..... 

It's the best $5-$10 you can spend on a computer game once you get started.  The gameplay is awesome.  De-syncs and bugs, not so much.

(Great analogy with the cigarettes !!!!  I swear my blood pressure goes up every tough game.)

lol this game is selling for £1.99 in my local game store ($3.50)

For that amount it is totally worth it

Right on then.  I'm sure we can find you some help in learning.  If you find you are impatient in picking it up, you can buy it online directly from impulse for $19.99

yeah - you'll have to call your local store and see if its in stock - its not available online from gamestop. 

Don't buy it if you plan to play online. I can't login to my account, nor can I create a new one, and a buddy of mine who has had the game for a week now is having the same problems. Clicking on the "Retrieve Password" or "Create New Account" button causes the game to shut down; nothing else happens. There has been no response from Stardock Support regarding this issue, so I can only assume that either online is not supported anymore and/or they are no longer allowing new players to create new accounts.

the game is just rediculously buggy and or your diong something wrong

he supposedly did do that a week ago.  His thread was posted then and you told him to do the same back then.  Or perhaps he's just being a dick and doesn't want to actually figure out how he messed his game up but rather wallow in self pity.  One or the other.. meh.

Anything over about $10-15 is a rip-off.

Demigod is the best game I've played online.  When the teams are well matched, it's outright exhilarating and addictive.  However, the online community is dead; it was never big in the first place.  You'll spend more time waiting in lobbies than actually playing.  And it seems that the community, such that it is, has gotten a bit ruder and more immature over the past few months (or maybe I've just grown less tolerant).

In the absence of a stream of additional content and updates, a good editor would have breathed new life into Demigod.  But there is no editor, so you can't even expect much in the way of mods, except mods that tweak numbers, stats, etc.  I still play single-player with Peppe's AI mod, and it's fun.  However, it's not enough to recommend the game to anyone, especially if you can't find it for $10 or less.

Meh...I still feel a re-release and a serious update schedule could breathe a whole load of new life into this game and introduce a a lot of new players.  The game still looks incredible and the gameplay is miles ahead of HoN and LoL (I own both these games).  But the game does feel a little abandoned tbh given the speed that gas powered games provide updates :/  

For $10, assuming no more updates, still worthwhile imo.
