Hello, welcome to the game.  Hope you enjoy your online experience, as well as the game.  You should not have to disable your firewall, as that is not what the devs intended for us to have to do. 

Try playing on Monday/Tuesday when the new proxy servers come up I believe and see if you can connect then.  Even though it is already Monday to you I think, try waiting for a day or two!  Also, there is a Developers Journal that says you can try opening your "router ports" and seeing how that works.

Good luck!

Thanks for the replies.

Siphaed - Where are the severs located currently for Demigod ? I used to play Ultima Online when they only had US severs and it was playable (although I would agree that the occassional lag issues were far from ideal). I'm not sure when Demigod would be "officially launched" in South East Asia, and if so, whether there would be any servers allocated specially for this region (particularly for Pantheon games ?).

Ex - I'll try to read up the "opening the router ports" issue and see if I can comprehend it.

Playdoh - Hi ! My nick online is the same (i.e. CitizenKane2). Could I ask a further question - are you playing on Pantheon or Skirmish online ?

Welcome, Its nice to see new faces

I hope you have a blast

Just fixed my post. I forgot to mentioned that I'm playing with my friends online in custom games.

chanbrothers, I bought it from Tec-Drome Pte Ltd at Sim Lim Square.

See here if you need help getting there: http://www.simlimsquare.com.sg/stores_floor/l5?page=5

Be warned though, since it's an import, the prices are about SGD$75. I bought four copies together with my friends and got a goodwill discount such that each copy became SGD$68. Don't quote me on this though, I can't guarantee he'll repeat that feat of generosity.

If you really don't wish to buy from them for whatever reasons, just wait till 15th May for it's launch in Singapore or purchase online from Impulse. For me, I simply wanted it NAOW and wanted a physical disc instead of simply a digital download hehe.

EDIT: Just in case, they do NOT have the collectors edition, which I wanted but settled for a normal copy.

Hi again Playdoh.

I purchased the digital download because I couldn't find any hard copies of the game in Singapore. I didn't know that Tec-Drome had it.

It would be great if Demigod had an official launch in Singapore (or better yet, a server ) - I'll definitely keep an eye out for it.

P/S I never watched the Citizen Kane movie, but only read about it.  It's been my in-game nickname since the old Ultima Online days.

P/S/S Hmm .. maybe I better explore the Impulse thing a bit more - didn't know it had an add-friend list. All I saw were more games on sale via digital download when the Impulse screen loads up.

Is the Film and History in NUS?

Took the module as it did not have any exam.

Hope to see you guys in game too.

Heya! Glad to see a new SEA player, hope you'll enjoy this game as much as I did  BTW Malaysian here. Please add me in your list so we can get a game or 2 sometimes!

Got the same bad experience, got kicked off my first game 'cause of 300 ping lol... Ever since have been playing with friends through LAN...

If I'm not misinterpreting, frogboy did mention something about a proxy server in Singapore. I'll keep my fingers crossed for that  

P.S My ingame name is jihang2000, 'cause I just changed my login name, but my ingame name wasn't changed due to known database error  

Quick general question - what is port forwarding ?

I've yet to be able to connect to any online game (whether skirmish or custom). I keep getting stuck at the "attempting to connect to [name]".

I would be grateful for any assistance, particularly from another player in Singapore (I'm on Singtel).

Also, if one were to use GameRanger, is port forwarding still required ?

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I'm not sure I can even begin to understand the "port forwarding" concept

How does Impulse Reactor fit into the scheme of things ? Is it a seperate program I need to install ?

Cool Thanks for the explaination. (Now I wished I played on Battle.net, since I'm not entirely sure what you mean ).

I'll try to tinker with my computer tonight to try to access the online part of Demigod. Wish me luck !

You've mentioned that you're using Singtel; is it a pure modem or the version where the router is integrated with the modem? If it's the latter, then you're connected to the internet via a router and should try port forwarding if you're having problems connecting to other players online.

Pantheon games are no different from the usual Skirmish or Custom games in that they should all be using the same mechanisms to connect all players up.

I think I saw you online the other day through my in-game friend's list. So you've probably already accessed the online part of Demigod; in this case logged in with your Impulse account.

If you wish, we can arrange a particular time online and I can help you see if you're able to connect to another player at all - in this case, to me.
