[quote who="Aroddo" reply="21" id="2324013"] 6.) Community - Huge even for a beta, over 100 games hosted at all times, as opposed to demigod maxing at what..10?. More about the community below. Well, HoN shows all the currently running games in case someone wants to participate as a spectator. In Demigod running games are hidden. You can see them here, though. about 50-100 games average is my guess. [/quote] The 100+ games are open games

30,000 Heroes of Newerth beta keys are being given out. http://beta.heroesofnewerth.com/whoWehAw713saef/facebook.php
But tomorrow is August. I rather have 1.2 patch tomorrow than the little pieces next week.
Are you playing the demo?
Do demo users need to install impulse and do they need to create an impulse account to play online?
Yes there are still people playing the game. You can see how many games and people online here: http://www.demigodthegame.com/opengames.asp There are 2,000 people online right now. There are no issues connecting to the game.
Demigod is geared towards casual. HoN is geared towards hardcore. HoN's multiplayer client/server seems to be light years better than Demigod's p2p. Gameplay wise, HoN is just like dota. I also played LoL but I can't comment as the game is under NDA. Since LoL is free, I think LoL should reach 1 million registered users in 1 month like Battlefield Heroes. It took Demigod 1month to sell 100k units so Demigod will only get 1/10th of LoL's community
You can sell your complete Impulse account which would include Demigod.
Diablo2 is still better imho. waiting for diablo3, hopefully 1 more year.

The Sims 3 Collector's Edition (EA The Sims Studio, Electronic Arts) 3. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe (EA The Sims Studio, Electronic Arts) 4. World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (Blizzard Entertainment) 5. World of Warcraft Battle Chest (Blizzard Entertainment) 6. Spore: Galac
I used to come to these board alot more during beta. Now I just read the journal entires and that's about it.
I'm in HoN beta as well and there are more ppl online there than in demigod. HoN and LoL's client/server model is great, you can reconnect to the game if you disconnect. Not much lag, no need to worry about other people's simspeed. I think gpg made a wrong choice with using p2p, but they were using supcom engine so they had to use it i guess.
I just want to agree that the community is bad. People in game are bad most of the time.
LoL = League of Legends, a dota clone HoN = Heroes of Newerth, a dota clone
Yes, it works fine for me in 32bit. Other people have posted that it works in 64bit as well. I've been playing demigod in windows 7 for 3 months.
I think $9 is a good price.
hurray for demo
The demo will be coming out soon, 1-2 weeks i think.
I think it's a good move. Battlefield Heroes, a free fps game by EA that came out last month, has reach 1 million registered users in one month. Demigod, a retail release game after 3 months has sold at most 200,000 copies. So the community will be much much larger. A person who hasn't paid doesn't not gain an advantage. Although a paid account gets access to all heroes right away while the free acount has to unlock them. Just like
http://www.leagueoflegends.com/pages/summoner_faq This game doesn't look to be demigod's competitor anymore now that it's free. I've been waiting for the beta ever since I heard of this game last year. Yet I got into the Heroes of Newerth beta first which I heard nothing off. Heroes of Newerth (a dota clone) is awesome, the nda has been lifted for it this week.
[quote who="Duncanator" reply="16" id="2299513"]+1 for alt tab issues [/quote] Alt-tab seems to be fixed for me. I used to crash but I alt-tab all the time for the past 2 weeks. It never crashed once. Windows 7 here Ati x3650, 3gb ram, AMD Turion X2

No one ever promise new demigods 2 months from release date. Don't make up things.
Welcome back. 1. Randomize custom games. I think rather than spend money/resource to get this. The money should be spent getting a more robust skirmish/pantheon. Pantheon is mostly just 2vs2. If you can get it up to 3v3 every game, I think more people would play that instead of custom games. 4. Stats were working for supreme commander. Hopefully you will get this fix soon for a tournament.
Demigod has sold 100,000 before the European launch on May 29th. Demigod has sold around 150,000 copies in the US for both online and stores now.
