How do I get my money back?

from Demigod Forums

I just want to return the game and get reimbursed.  I play lots of online games and have no problem at all.  This one seems fun, but I'm on fiber in S. Korea and get kicked out of every game I join because in the lobby I'll hit 200 or so ping, but then during the game it goes up to 3-400.  I expected this because sometimes in WoW or other online games my ping will get that high, but in this game it drastically affects other players.  My ping when I do speedtest.com is 168 when connecting from Korea to California, like 400 connecting to Austrailia (huh?) and a beautiful 23 when connecting to Seoul.

 

There are very few games going at a time (5-15 I've seen) and none of them are for Asia, some are for Austrailia which seems like it'd be better than the US, but it's worse.

 

Anyways, I'd like my money back because I had no idea that $50 would be spent being kicked out of games.  It sucks and maybe you shouldn't sell games in a country where it can't be used.  I've never played an online game where my connection made everyone else's game experience unplayable.  :(

Try Evening- Night time.  Look for Kevinabcd1988 Games.  He usually host most of asian games.  Its is really sad that not much asian-based people are playing the game.

I'll send that email, and in the meantime look for that player.  After trolling around on the website and forums a little more, it appears that the game is not currently available for normal purchase in other countries...I got mine from the AAFES (Army/AirForce Exchange Service), which is like the mall on military posts for military folks.  I'm here on military orders, so I guess that's why not many Asians are playing.

Thanks for the feedback and advice.
