hi, guys.. been reading your thread. Just a suggestion: Why don't you guys start over with new threads stating what timezone you want the game to be in. It seems like there should be plenty of people interested in playing MP, but the time difference is going to cause problems.

Having said that, I live on the east coast, USA, and I'd like to get in on a game sometime if there's room for me. I'm not too IT savy, so I'd need to piggyback on some of you more knowledgable folks to get things set up.

I'll keep a heads up to see if there's an opening in this timezone.. I have kids and a joby-job to deal with, so I wouldn't have the freedom that some of you guys seem to have (how jealose am i?).

thanks for taking initiative, guys..

Wow, looks like you have a good party getting started here.

I've played multiplayer on Gamespy quite a lot. But it is hard to keep the same group together. The most I've had the same group of 4 or more people, lasted for maybe 2 weeks (which was 3 or 4 gaming sessions). If you can keep it together, more power to you. I advise you to take it somewhat like "real world" where party members may unexpectedly arrive and depart, in case someone shows up late so it doesn't ruin everyone's session.

Allow the leader (host of the game) to keep the latest copy of every character.

If you have an extra character slot, I would play sometime. I have not tried the new Gamespy 2.0 but it should work the same.

See the link in my sig if you have problems connecting (firewall/port-forwarding issues).
