if any one else has bg2 and wants to play let me know, there more people there are the better the chances that 6 of us will actually have a bigger enough time frame to play together.

it is very good, very similar to diablo, except you control 6 people instead on one. and when your not actually moving one of the 6 chars the other 5 are acting a lot smarter that the mercs and minions in d2, but the are still fairly stupid.

wow thats gonna be hard, i mean if ur trying to save one character from dieing, the other one dies, and if one does die, how do reborn him? does he reborn automactially? or do u hve to press esc. and when you press esc dont you go the the exist command for all the othter 5 characters? well this idea doesnt seem that good to me to be honest
at least one of the 6 chars is a priest and can ressurect dead people

well player 1 cant die or its game over, its part of the storyline. he can be a priest and there is also another priest so you have two, and harldy anybody should die before you can use the raise dead spells, but you can always go to the temples and pay to get someone ressurected like mercs in d2. but its usually faster and cheaper to just load a earlier save slot.
Really? no one else other than Katael and ThatDude wish to join me on this epic quest? It is a great game, lots of hours of entertainment, booze and babes galour
the invitation i extended is to all warriors willing, I am looking to put together a 4 - 6 man team as there is safety in numbers, (and I am two or three at least), to go adventuring with me, to defeat an evil once banished Elf Mage and get back what was stolen from me, my soul, to rescue my sister from Spellhold, a prison for the magically deviant (this is the prison that Azkaban prison in harry potter is based on), to defeat the five children of the Lord of Murder
if you are up for it for the challenge just reply to this post but beware, you will be travelling with Elfen Lied, you toe the line!, i wont suffer slackers while im heroing! Butt Kicking for Goodness!
i will inform you as to when we are to embark on this epic quest
(incase you havent figured it out, im talking about the computerised advanced Dungeons and Dragons game, Baldur's Gate 2, you will require several extra content adding modifications to the game)
the game is rather similar to diablo 2, swords, sorcery, monsters, epic battles, intriguing quests and all that good stuff
1. Half Orc Fighter/Cleric or a Half Elf Bard
2. Human Paladin
3. Half Orc Berserker
4. Half Elf Cleric/Ranger
5. Halfling Theif
6. Elf Fighter/Mage or Half Elf Cleric/Mage
those are the classes, i know it sounds stink me saying these are the classes but i dont have time for people to play the game and find a class they like unfortunately.
also you need to set up a virtual private network (VPN) here the link http://www.hamachi.cc/download/ when you install it, and have the games patches, and mods installed in the correct order PM/email me and i will give you the name and password of the network
also it looks like the person with the fastest connection will have to be the host, now.

no we havent started yet, plus Katael bailed on me so its down to me and thatdude, there is no rush you need to get some mods for the game first, some content adding mods, if you have an IM program (AIM or MSN) it will be easier for me to run thru how to install them.

PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
its a social thing we get together and play when ever we all have the time, seeing as the game is fairly linear, so we will start then go as far as we can time allowing of course, then we the next time we all have the time we can pick up where we left off.

1. (me) Half Orc Fighter/Cleric 2. a Human Paladin 3. an Orc Berserker 4. a Half Elf Cleric/Ranger 5. a Halfling Thief 6. An Elf Fighter/Mage
that way there are two priests, a mage who can use armor, a paladin and several tanks (chars 1-3), they maybe subject to change, but the classes are fairly easy to use and not too complicated. I already have the chars made so we can save sometime but not having to sit there for ages trying to get good statistics.
then the other players join my game and pick fro mthe remaining classes. because well thats how BG2 mutlplayer works. either you all make seperate characters (which takes some time) or the host make 6 char then assigns a char to each player.
there is one issue though, the host needs to have the fastest connection, so it doesnt take ages to load cutscenes and movies. so they kinda makes it so i would be the host. it is still possible to be leader of the group, just not the host, i have too slow of a connection. but as i have already made the chars i can just send them to who ever has thef fastes connection.
so far part from char 1. (me) i dont think anyone else has said yep ill take that char... had a few players but they seemed to have bailed on me.
so far the people who have said yes are
myself Thatdude Fuldow and now you making 4, i would like for 6, but if 4 is all there is we will have to make do, some people will be using more that one char.
Katael had said yes but have since left

PhrozenDragon if you are in, you will need some content adding mods for the game
write these down somehere, these are the mods you will want to have most just add npcs, items, quests and make the game run more smoothly. Shadow Keeper (editor in case the game messes up and you cant get the items you need even with reloading the area multiple times)
first you need to get the weidu file, its the thing that the mods use to install themselves or whatever here is the link http://weidu.org/main.html#weidu
the mods are in order as follows;
Ashes of Embers, Ease of Use, Unfinsihed Business, Quest Pack, Deeper Shadows of Amn, Tactics Mod, Edwin Romance, Expanded Thief Stronghold, Level 50 spell, Item Upgrade, Under represented items, Chloe, SOLAUFEIN, Valen, Kivan, Xan, Willy Bruce, Banter Pack, Flirt Pack
i know its a lot that seems like a lot but they are very fun and add so much to the game, some make things easier for new players, that old players will appreciate. they take away some of the frustration.
you can IM me if you have questions with the mods and how to install them, it is kinda tricky at first. (mostly because i have to try and remember how to begin the process, its been almost a year since i started with mods)
the hamachi VPN, you need that so we can all play on the smae virtual LAN. its basically the same as a TCP/IP game except instead of typing in the IP address of the computer you type in the address that the VPN assigns to whoever will be the host.
once you get the VPN, ill let you know what the name as passwords are.

its a fairly old game (96 or 97 it came out a little while after diablo) so it should be too taxing on your comp, neither is it taxing on your wallet, its free to play online and you can find the box set of all four games BG 1 and 2 and their expansions for around the price of a single new game, getting all the mods is time consuming though.
whoever hosts the game has to have broadband or any other fast connection, as loading movies and cutscenes goes by the hosts speed.
