[quote who="Whackhead" reply="14" id="2367227"]I ran the ping tests & just about the only people we'll be able to connect to (without making it a turn based game that is ) are in the EU. Pings become ridiculous when I try the states & Oz... I think the biggest problem we have now is that most of the other South African players have given up on ever playing online [/quote] Ran into 2 fellow South Africans last night (forget their names now) we should de

I'm looking into getting a shaped account just for Demigod as I have heard it reduces latency by about 100ms which is huge. Thanks for the forum link Nictron, I'll check it out :-)

Hey, thanks man, when are you available for a game? The time difference may be a problem (as we are +2 GMT) though but just let me know :) Oh, tried out a few games last night and one of them was ok, the other two were pretty slow (thanks guys for those of you who stuck around and beared the lagginess).

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?
