Yes, you don't need it but for newbies it is a good way to bring up nuetral MP environments open to the web. The other method is hosting it or connecting to a host. Private MP games. Much fun but bear in mind the game was never real designed for MP and you have to put up with some annoying things like dialogue pausing. The community may have patched stuff in for MP to avoid these things.

That said, I don't think they have a BG room in Gamespy anymore...I know the IWD ones were closed years ago.
