Yeah. Whatever single-player Eastern Sun characters you make, you can use them to play multi-player Eastern Sun on Hamachi.
Just make sure that you have the same version of Eastern Sun installed as the other people with whom you play (the current version is R6D).
Also, DO NOT attempt to access your shared-stash during a multi-player game; you'll crash the game, and may corrupt your files.
Only open your shared-stash when you are in single-player mode.
That is a big thing, but also, Cherie and I found out that just having stuff in your shared stash while being in a multiplayer game highly increases the chance of a crash. What I suggest is just to use shared stash ONLY to transfer items, and never to actually hold your stuff.

Yeah, Cherie and I have had that conversation more than once , 'cuz I have yet to be convinced that simply having stuff in your shared-stash causes a problem in a MP game.
I keep my shared-stash limited to roughly four pages (relatively small, IMO), I don't open it when I'm on Hamachi, and the only time the game has crashed for us when she and I have played has been when either one of us left the game while we were still partied.
Tsuru only warns against entering into a multi-player game with a LARGE shared-stash (I doubt four pages qualifies as large), or attempting to open your shared-stash while in a MP game.
I emailed him to ask him to clarify "large," but he never responded.
In the absence of a response from Tsuru, I've agreed to use the stash-switcher in the future, to switch my shared-stash with an empty one before joining a game.
(I still think I'm right, though.)
@Spedron - You can talk with people on your Xfire list while playing ES - I do it all the time. It works the same as if playing LoD, but ES registers as LoD on Xfire so your time spent playing ES will go towards LoD time.
@Murder - Hurry up and find it already - hehehe!
@Anakyn - YOU need to get playing more too damnit.
@Kyle - I miss ya buddy!
I will probably play some tonight 7ish EST.

And Cherie, I miss you too =( And even if I managed to download ES onto one of the computers I do use, I'd need Hamachi as well, in which I'm sure no one woulld allow it to be downloaded. >< So I just need to wait to get my own computer.

I figured that, but what i want to know is.. that do you need the lan connection provided by hamachi to play with other people? Or are you just using hamachi to speak to others?

Hiya Spedron,
See my post, here, (and click on the link within, as well).
That should answer your question.
Basically, if you aren't hosting a connection via a router, as is detailed via the link in that post, you will need Hamachi to join another ES game.
You can't join an existing ES game using Xfire.
Edit: At least, I'm not sure, after thinking about it. I asked Stormy what she thought, also.
Given how ES registers on Xfire as D2:LOD, it might be possible, after all... it'll take some experimentation (see Stormy's post below).
I know that ive been using xfire for about 2 years. And im guessing i cant play eastern then =(. Im not allowed to reinstall hamachi... so.. im kinda screwed in that catagory.

I'll be on a little later tonight prob 1-2 hours if anyone else thinks they'll be on. stormcat 7est is like the worst possible time for me lol is that when you guys all come out cause I haven't really seen anyone on this forum except hex.
I just started a sorc as half of a tag team fire and ice duo with my friend. shes only lvl 5 or 6 and my Druid is somewhere in the low twenties so I should be able to play with any new chars u guys are starting up. haven't played barb lately but he's 93 now

I'm not sure if Xfire will let you join an ES game. I would like to try it with someone, just to see if it does work. I wonder if you would still need the host person's IP or not???

Well, I can't be around alot of noise and bright light, so I am stuck at home for awhile. I will most likely be on Friday night so maybe then. I am guessing you are PST.

Hehe, I'm level 48 now, but I still got mediocre items.
I'll be on around 9:30 - 10:00 PM PST and will play awwww night.
hmmm - that's 12:30-1 my time - sorry but i'm in bed - i get up at 6 - maybe tomorrow night

Alright man, I'll hit you up.
Anyone know any good runewords for a Frenzy Barb? I'm level 71 now and I still got crap items but a shitload of runes.
Damn Ody, you leveled up quick. You will be in hell soon.
I mess around a lot, level a bit, then mess around some more trying to get more stuff - hehehe. I went back to NM and tried Naruko on players 8 - woosh. Metalsparks and those damn wyverns kicked my ass.
I have lots of runes too, I haven't made anything worthwhile yet. I want to try out all the sets first and am trying out different weapons for my frenzy/concentrate/plasma rain barb. I have Sarevok's now and just need the helm for Hurja. I know I have gambled millions upon millions just trying to get that helm. lol
I also am trying to NOT use any warcries (I haven't put any points into them) - I'm not doing too bad, the plasma rain helps alot, but I do need to get more life leech.

Where is the best place gamble? And where do I get the gold to gamble for that much..?
Do i need hamachi to play with other people on east? no one answers me >.<. Xfire is strictly for chatting purposes so it does nothing with your ability to host games.

For me the best things I have gotten gambling have been through Gheed in hell A1. Get you some gold finding charms (I may be able to give you a few I think) - or dstone to some pieces - there are a few rune/gem words that will give you high gold fiind too - richesdotcom, cherry blossom, greed - are a few that I can remember. I have around 450 GF and 350 MF - I get plenty of gold. I usually get up to $4 million then I start gambling - this takes maybe a few hours of playing at the most, I only pick up rares to sell back and of course the gold that drops, but if you pick up the exceptional and elite magical items you could probably get more quick cash that way too. Also, Fake Note Factory, each note is $50k - but whenever I go there I usually only get 1 or 2 if that - Murderface used to get Fake Note jackpots, but I never did. Cows will net you some cash too (both secret level and Lost Farm in NM.)

You cannot play ES on bnet - so east and west have nothing to do with ES. Only way to play multiple player is by hosting or joining a hosted game.
There is a setting on XFire that lets you "join" friends game (which I didn't even really think about until Anakyn mentioned it) - but I am not sure if that works with ES. Nobody has gotten on for me to try it with.

At this time, you can play multi-player ES via TCP/IP, or Hamachi.
