Great info... thanks!! I agree that finding time to play will be difficult... will probably only be a couple of hours once per week. We'll see.
Thanks for mentioning that there is no import option. That means it may make more sense just to play IWDII.
Thanks!

The game runs smoothly if you have a decent internet connection, with just very slight lags in some big battles and a tiny bit longer loading time. But otherwise it was great fun. Quite a nice experience when you just conrol one or 2 characters and the others are controlled by someone else. The fedex quests become a bit more boring, while the battles become much more fun, even the ordinary random monster battles.
Maybe xander can add a few things on how he found it.
The biggest challenge actually is to find spare time to play that would suit all players. It was difficult enough for me and xander to find a 2 or so hours once or twice a week... but this all depends on who you play with.
Just on a side notice, you cannot "import" an IWD game into IWD2. It is not like BG. You do not play the same party in IWD2 but make a new one from scratch. IWD2 uses a completely newe ruleset (though the engine is same).
