You cant have LAN parties with people with demo, i tryed he couldnt find the Lan Server, and we was using hamachi which works fine (used for other games). It was a LAN server =[.

Badspot said specifically in several places that you cannot use Hamachi.

Also, Hamachi is not LAN. It creates a VPN between computers, which is "LAN-like" but not the same thing.


Well, you have a few options.

1. Purchase a copy of Retail and host a server. Any other computers on your network will be able to play LAN.

2. Run hundreds of miles of networking cable from your home to your destination computer.

3. Similar to two, but more reasonable, if you live next door to someone you want to play with, you should be able to run a temporary cable out your window and into your neighbors house.

4. Similar to three, if you are stealing the Internet from your neighbor with a wireless connection, you will be able to play LAN with them.

So theres no point in the LAN if there in the same house as you or near you >=[ thats a bummer.

Of course there is, you can play with family and friends without buying more than one copy.

That's almost the definition of LAN.  To play with people on the same network, which is most likely in your house.

with the cost of cable and the speed and reliablity of stealing wireless and not to mention port forwarding. i would think the 1st (buy a copy of BLR) would be better...

You can get 100 feet of cable for anywhere between 9 and 20 dollars.

I'd recommend buying Blockland instead.

You can have a LAN game with the full version of the game hosting and any number of demo players connected. 

Hamachi is not a LAN.

Buy the damn game.

yeah. what Badspot said. besides, it would help Badspot alot.

I have bought the game, he wanted to play the full game, Im sorry.

Well, concerning hamachi, if you use it and give another person your key, you can both play the full version over hamachi but not on the internet.

 :cookieMonster: Thanks for buying the game. 

Not letting demo players play over the internet is a necessary limitation, unfortunately.  Otherwise there would be no reason for people to upgrade.
