hmm help.

from Stardock Forums

ok i dont know if this is the right section but i have some questions.

1-im not going to lie i have a copy version of this game and im thinking of buying it to play online, so someone can tell if the digital download allows u to play online because im not going to pay more than 70$ for the retail concidering the Shipping fee.but first of all this game is P2P (pay to pay) or B2P (buy 2 pay) i guess is b2p correct me if im wrong.

2- the connection its trought a dedicated server or peer to peer? i dont want to play huge lag games.

3- i already have the money to buy the digital version but i dont understand how it works, so i pay and u/they allow me to download the game and register an account to play online?.

 

k i think thats all, pls reply.

Yes, the game is $40  for the digital download version, with that version you can play online without restriction.   You will need to setup an impulse account (impulse is the digital download client - allows you to download the game), then using the same e-mail address you used to buy the game, you log into impulse and then you can download the entire game to your computer and it will notify you when updates are available.

 

The networking of the game is peer to peer, which reduces lag and is currently working for *most* players, but there are supposed to be improvements made this week as well.

 

Hope that helps.   Welcome to the game.

on a further note the updates will be introducing proxy servers similar to most 3rd party gaming websites like game ranger or leafnetworks, the proxies should allow everyone to connect successfully, and no it is not pay to play multi player is free once u buy a copy
