I return! And looking for a game

It's been ages, but I've found a bit more free time. I'd like to get involved with a game. If you're starting one soon, tag me with a PM or reply. I'm trying not to swamp myself like I did last time, so I'm only looking for one game :3

You can just grab one off of Dom3Minions then try and get a few people to join you before hitting "start".

Maybe mention it on a more active forum like Desura if they let you.

What happened to the sharpnel forms? ;( this place used to be the goto place for dom3 games!

In case you haven't picked it up from just browsing around already, some stuff happened, namely a streak of bans, which resulted in this website, where a lot of the current pros reside. There's also Desura, which currently sells Dom 3, now that Shrapnel's stopped.

There are still plenty of games on Shrapnel, but a lot of the community here has also migrated over to those two forums (sans those who can't come back, of course). There are a bunch of other websites with a few games running, but those two are the big ones. I imagine you can find a game looking for players between these three sites. If not, host one! Llamaserver is the same as before and as ubiquitous as ever.

e: looks like you've already found both. Oh well.

e2: Just in case, you might also want to check out the Dominions 3 IRC channel. You can find a lot of players looking for blitzes (fast 2-5 player games played in a single session) there. They're pretty fun, more people should try them out.

A streak of bans? :O care to elaborate? I feel like I missed some juicy drama ;P

I appreciate the info though

Thanks for the heads up.

I dont think that changed the games much.
What changed the number of games here IMHO is that Dominions 3 is no longer sold by Shrapnel. So whether its an opinion of Shrapnel, or support of Illwinter, or just because we need to migrate while we can.... the emphasis has been to use the new official forum at Desura.com for all new posts.
