Default Re: Wow, and the games grind to a halt.

You can download a turn to your machine then quit dom3. Re-enter dom3 and choose "play game" instead of "network" and you can work on your turn all day without uploading it. Only by going "network" again will your turn upload.

There might be a way to switch to offline play without quitting and re-entering but thats the method Ive always used.

Thats because so many have forgotten how to pay for free things.

Yeah, I know how to play network games Gandalf. And I still like them. It just seems that the pbem game, with it's little bit of extra hassle, has come to be the preferred way to go.
