    So the 18th is my half-sister's birthday and I need to go to my fathers in order to give her her present, so I'm not sure when I'll be available that day.

    No worries. We may spend a lot of time trying to see if it will work, and I kind of suspect it won't at first. Hamachi only lets you have 5 people on a network for instance, so that is bound to lead to issues if we choose to use it. I guess the 6th person could just connect to the Hamachi network address, but idk how well it will work out regardless.

    Its better now but I think its best we wait. Just figured I'd inquire as to what the status of our group is.

    Considering @xxxsmb1987xxx, and @Ascerion haven't been online for 1-3 weeks I think its likely that they aren't coming back. So with that in mind ( @MedullaOblongata , @LordsDarkKnight185, @Miahkai) if there is anyone (and it doesn't have to be just you three) that is still interested in just trying multiplayer out let me know.

    I'm up for a game @elmister, been waiting for a group to get together myself, but with the holidays it may take a while. And since i have all the time in the world right now... lemme know what you need in terms of character if you'll have me.

    I'm still interested, and I'm off until the 2nd of January. After that I'm free almost every evening. Got my halfling F-T, been playing with her on SP, she's a tough cookie!

    elminster-Shapeshifter-(half-elf)-Neutral
    xxxsmb1987xxx -Fighter-(Human)-Chaotic good
    LordsDarkKnight185-Cleric/Mage-(Half-elf)-Neutral good
    Ascerion-Berserker-(Half-Orc)-Neutral good
    Miahkai-Wild Mage -(Elf)-Chaotic good
    MedullaOblongata -Fighter/thief-Halfling- Chaotic good

    I'm assuming Miahkai and LordsDarkKnight185 are still interested even if it is on weekends (with multiple people fetch and carry quests should go by quickly).

    @Liberelli It looks like ideally we'd have you doing some kind of melee role. You don't have to of course its just more of an issue of balance/needing a meat shield. What time zone are you in? I think the rest of us are in Eastern US/ Canada or Central US/Canada (so like -5 UTC to -7 UTC).

    I'm still up for some Multiplayer, just been caught up with Xmas crazyness
  • elminsterelminster Member, Developer Posts: 16,317
    I entirely understand. It is a hectic time of year.
  • LiberelliLiberelli Member Posts: 170
    I'm in UTC +1 but i work nights, so even in the holidays im pretty much on PST time :)
    I could do a shapeshifter, i've never actually played that before... i do love me a nice set of armor tho...
    Hard to decide, i'll roll some characters and see what strikes my fancy. Even after all these years i dont think i've ever once played as a gnome or halfling either :)

    I'm interested, I'm in GMT +10:00 time zone (+11:00 day light savings) which may be a problem. I am however willing to play any character build.

    @Pasidious

    I appreciate your interest but I kind of feel like that if you are 15+ hours ahead of the 4 of us (so other than Liberelli) that is going to present logistical problems. If someone in the current group who is living at -7 utc (there is someone I think like this in the group) were prepared to play at 7am (local time for them) that would mean that you would be starting to play with us at 2am (local time for you).

    I think most of the groups (1-3) who have been writing here have also been North American.

    I thought it would be a long shot but I keen to give multi a go BG is a killer game and I can only imagine that it gets better with multi.

    You're going to see a lot of this while fooling around town:

    "Party has gained 10 xp."
    "Party has gained 10 xp."
    "Party has gained 10 xp."

    :3

    I'm torn between an inquisitor, a shapeshifter or a F/M, these can all handle themselves well in melee. Any preferences from the group?
  • ilihCilihC Member Posts: 2

    Major thread bump

    Good news! It only took a year to get matchmaking. Any of you guys still up for multiplayer? hehe.

    @elminster
    Hail ye chosen of Mystra

    I was thinking about casting Raise Dead on this thread as well. I have been waiting anxiously for this feature myself.

    So I guess the plan is for us not only to play through BG:EE but also BG2:EE as a group?

    I'm not going to commit myself to something that is more than a year away lol. Don't get me wrong, I just can't guarantee anything :)

    <.< Just leaving this here for irony sake.
  • elminsterelminster Member, Developer Posts: 16,317
    Haha...yep. Funny how things turn out.

    Oh damn, Hey guys. Is it actually working with multiple people now? I might be up for giving it a go. Though I likely wouldn't be a Wild Mage, I find myself drawn to the Archer.
