Is this game active?

As the title suggests, is this game still active? I've never played FoG before but the screenshots looks like the kind of game I want to try, just curious as to what the status is of the multiplayer community.

Thanks

Huge, you'll never be short of a game!

However,

we are currently stuck between two versions. The old version remains active, but the new one is having trouble getting off the ground. If you are a new buyer, I am not sure you have the option to choose.

I think every new buyer can download or ask for the 1.81 version, which is mandatory (and extremely fun!)

[therealevan]

Yes I just installed the 1.81 patch and have already started a game with a player on MP.

Unpassworded games are snapped up quickly by players so it's often best to issue your own challenge.

How is the match difficulty handled? I want to buy this but have read about the issues of the new one. Mainly I play solo but seems this one mostly shines in MP. As a newcomer is there a match mode for the less experienced played to get their feet wet?
