Stardock Forums
Have been playing with a friends copy (offline) for a few weeks and decided to buy the game. I love DG however it seems that I won't be able to play this online as every game I join I get kicked due to high pings (500 or so).
Is there anyone else from SA who bought the game (perhaps a group of people) who play on a semi-regular basis?
Well if anyone here can't get a Ready to Play serials you know who to contact 
Hey guys, went to a small LAN yesterday (there were only 6 of us) and we played the latest patched version of Demigod. Of the 6 of us, half owned the game so we used a net connection to activate the other 3 copies for LAN play (Stardock has an open LAN policy) which was just awesome. Was quite fun playing Demigod at a LAN with no lag or disconnects etc.
Has anyone else here played Demigod at a LAN and if so, what were your experiences?
Anyone have time this evening for a game? I'm looking at playing from around 8-9pm. Lemme know Will have Ready 2 Play open as well...
Hey guys, played a few good games last night. Let me know if anyone would be interested in playing sometime soon.
My son was playing (single player) last night & he told me that you invited me on R2P...
Sorry I missed you M8!
Hey guys, tried out the FNBconnect service and @ R69 per Gb it's priced well and 'topping up' is convenient and easy however the main reason I tried this service out was to try and improve Demigod ping times (as it is a unshaped account vs. my shaped IS acc). I conclude that the unshaped account makes no difference in ping times at all which is a big dissapointment.
Anyone else here in SA have better luck then I do with ping results? I think it may also have to do with the fact that I live in Cape Town, meaning the traffic first travels to JHB and then out from there (local pings are 100ms).
No, same issue with ping times from the ISP's that I use Axxess and FNBConnect, and I am in JHB.
Mmm, I guess it's just the fact that we are in SA and we need to learn to put up with it 
I got a trial 10Gb WebAfrica account which I would like to try as they bandwidth is apparently supplied by Seacom. Going to give that a go and let you guys know...
Hey guys, I tried the WebAfrica trial account and it makes no difference to the ping. Still about the same in general. Looks like we simply have a 400ms average disadvantage no matter what Sometimes you get lucky and the pings are then in the 200's but finding a game where everyone has a low 300-200 ping is nearly impossible.
I've also noticed that sometimes when I play against ppl with higher pings (400 or so) the game runs relatively well whilst othertimes it runs quite badly...
