So if you want to go online and play - you could see if you could join Larian or Larian1000, if not you could start the game. It's still hard to coordinate times - Mslynx and BeeGee and I played for 2-3 hrs too. It's always better to have characters fairly close to the same level (more fun) - but you can always start a new character if needed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> or bring a lower level character you control. If none of you have the quests then you all get the quests if you solve them together - must be in the same general area to do this.
Hope this helps rather than confuses. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
