where to buy the game?

[PanzerHue]

Hi,

I have been searching GamersGate to purchase the game, but it seems its not longer available. Can any one confirm this?

Kind regards...

 

[Snake IV]

It seems they have removed it from GamersGate. Though I do not recomend to buy at this time. Unless I get a community up and runnig again the product isn't worth much. I'm working on it though

Hi Snake,

Thanx for the reply.
Im sorry to hear that the game cant be purchased. I didnt expect the AI in such a game like diplomacy to be worth much, but I was hoping it was possible to play online by LAN etc.

Are there any plans of redoing the game as a computer game?

Kind regards...

None I've hear of.

If you want to play it by LAN you acctually have another case. I havn't tried it by LAN, but it should work, and only require one copy of the game as you don't need the CD to run it. The game is avaible at least in Sweden. One store has it for less than 1$.

Available from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Diplomacy-Pc/dp/B0009J8WDO
I'll ask about the Gamers Gate situation.

It seems as if Diplomacy is no longer to be available from Gamers Gate. I guess Amazon or local retailers with remaining stock are the best options.

Our license is soon expiring.

Our license is soon expiring.

So, will the game still work?

The multiplayer part I mean - requiring the server?

 

[Nikolai II]

The metaserver has been gone for quite some while, but I believe that it is still possible to link directly to someones IP address (or do a LAN)

I'll pass the question on just in case.

 

[Snake IV]

No, the metaserver is still there.

 

[Nikolai II]

Ok, I stand corrected - the metaserver should work. Probably a port issue if you are experiencing troubles. I'll ask about the license and the metaserver future.

for anyone in the states, i just found a copy in a store called FiveBelow. everthing in the store is $5 or less. The store near me has a bunch of diplomacy copies, so i grabbed one. i had heard that the community was not very active, but didn't realize it was so dead. anyway i'll be able to get the big D under my name. so worth $5. what recession

i found a five dollar copy at gamestop, the guy working the desk laughed at me.

 

[Nikolai II]

He laughed at you? Were you telling him how you were only buying the game to get a "D" at some forums? Or was he being a bad salesman making his customers feeling silly for spending their dollars at the store where he works?
(The latter could be taken to his supervisor )

well, i didn't get it just for the "D", that was just the icing on the cake. but once i found out the forum was deserted, the "D" became the cake, albeit a tiny cupcake.
but i do like my cupcakes

good thing he doesn't work on commission. well, he'd prob still laugh, commission on $5 isn't much is it?

it was one of those this game is terrible kind of laughs, and i figured hey, i know its supposed be terrible, but its only 5 dollars, so it's got a shot. The D is just a bonus

 

[Nikolai II]

Five dollars isn't very much in the western world, no. Enjoy your D, and feel free to discuss things Diplomacy-ish here

What happened to Diplomacy community? I thought that you had quite frequent gaming sessions.

Our license is soon expiring.

So there's no hope of getting Diplomacy expansion then.

Also here in Finland local game stores still have available copies. I paid €5 for my copy, so you got it even cheaper than I did. I play Diplomacy when I want to play something quick instead of starting long EU campaign.

I don't think that it's waste of money, but after playing the board game I have to say that in SP computer version does have significantly different game mechanics because it's hard to make good deals with the AI. Although in MP it seems to be more similar with the board game.

The lack of new players eventually killed us of. We closed down in early fall.

It's quite difficult when you can play online for free and not be tied to a specific computer.

I can view the map and issue orders over my cell phone if necessary.

That said, I've been looking for a copy of the game myself. I can probably grab it at a local gamestop but I'm lazy and was hoping to find a digital download.
