Default thinking about trying Player-vs-Player?

There are some half-way options for people who are considering multiplaying (MP) Dom3.

In the MP subforum there are often requests for "substitute needed". People who are in games and have to quit for abit due to real-world reasons. That can have advantages for people who want a taste of MP but arent sure. You are taking someone elses position and their choices in their god-build. If you do well, fantastic. If you dont, you have a ready made excuse. But be sure to check the games thread, usually in the first post of it, to be sure you understand the parameters and everything you will need to play (map, mods, rules, etc)

Also, you can join cooperation games. These can be team games, or ones that stress vets paired with newbies, or games where all human players are going up against allied computer players. Games such as this can provide you some hands-on mentor help from the other players.

Also keep in mind that there are people you can bounce questions off of. Either by PM, email, or in chat rooms such as here or on IRC.

You can also get just a couple friends to try out the multiplayer action. On Dom3Minions there are always open games. Grab one and get a couple of buds to try it with you.

Or start a game of your own with your own settings for you and some friends. The are a number of servers which will host such games. such as www.Dom3Minions.com http://www.dom3minions.com/HostingGames.htm or www.LLamaServer.net
