I have never played D2 online.

I also only have 1 character on the go that i "stole" from my cousin.

He is I think level 25 barb

Sounds good. I'm just a little worried that 011284mm might have problems to catch up, if we are playing two or three times per week, because he wanted to play only on Saturday and Sunday.

As I said in the OP, I'm also pretty new to multiplayer.

I was thinking of starting with level 1 characters.

I could perhaps make my teamspeak temporarily available

Today, 9:30 pm CEST, is currently the plan for the first session.

I'm unfamiliar with voice com systems. Plus, I don't have a microphone.

Awesome, I should be able to make it.

Thats 10.30pm GMT?

No, 8.30pm British Summer Time, which is 7.30pm GMT.

I will make an announcement, with the name and password, once I'm ready.

For now, however, I have two questions for everyone.

1. Hardcore or Softcore?
I have no problem with the possibility of permadeath, as long as the death was due to my own stupidity. Loosing a character due to lag or a disconnect, on the other hand, is something I couldn't stand. So, I would opt for Softcore.

2. What is everyone playing?
I'm going with my usual Summoner Necro.

If you guys are up for a BlizzOrb Sorceress, I'm in.

Oh crap....they kinda rain on Necromancers' parade, a little....I can go fire, I suppose.

I am willing to play when ever I get a bit of free time. Also do not worry about leaving me behind, I will find a way to catch up.
As for the time. If you guys can decide on a time, and I am free I will try and join if you put up the information required. :-)

As would I.

Hmm, damned choices...
Bow-toting Amazon, perhaps?

Id prefer softcore for the reasons of Lag etc, im not in a built up area so my connection isnt great.

Im thinking support paladin or conjuring necro. Been a while since i played those types

A Paladin would be great. Especially because of the Conviction aura (reduces both enemy defense and resistances).
