I dont meant to sound like a complete dumbass or anything, but how in the hell do you join a party (or whatever you join) over the internet? What number are you supposed to put in when they ask for one? I really would appriciate the help guys.

Not a stupid question at all. I've wondered the same myself. I guess we'll both be waiting (im)patiently for replies to this one.

I thought you can only join a M-Player game in the beginning, i.e. not in the middle when the game is in progress. I played other games on M-player but never BGI or BGII since I always encounter problem joining BGI game. Which part of the process do they ask you to put in "number"?

Yes. The manual mentions that you can host a session on your computer and/or connect via modem, cable, etc. Has anyone done this? How does it work? Do you need an ICQ number for internet play? (If so, what is it and how do I get one?)
I assume that this (multi-player over the internet/modem) is all possible somehow, but I've always thought it just a bit too confusing to try. If someone could clear the fog, I'd appreciate it. |

I usually play via modem or IP, modem just dail your friend's phone and wait for reply, IP just dail your friend's IP number. If you host a game, it might take a while for everything to load (i.e. sometimes your computer might "look like" it has crashed, but it really hasn't).
Regarding ICQ, no I don't think you need ICQ for multi-player play. You can talk in the game's console like in Diablo. Hope this will help a bit, but I'm not sure if this has clear or made it foggier..... |

Accord
In the multiplayer section, after you have specified the modem and click the "join" button, it asks you for a number to dial... |

Are you trying to join a game or are you hosting? If joining, just dial your friend's phone number there and wait for his/her reply. My apologies, but I do not have the game with me (I am still at school and the snow storm is preventing me from going back to my 150km away home ) so I am answering based on what I remembered from my past experiences.
