UT2004 demo might not be a bad idea. As long as we could all chat and just goof around. I know Z doesn't play FPS games, so as long as we make it fun.

Well Acclaim offers 3 totally free (adverts in game and on load) MMO's 9 Dragons, 2 Moons, and B.O.T.S. I thought the bots one looked like a fun night bots.acclaim.com/bots-3.htmI've played 9 dragons and 2 Moons they are both decent in their own way but it does take time before you start having fun.

You forgot Dance Online: dance.acclaim.com/I think we could use a big CoT-style dance party. Oh yeah. The key is a game where we can all be in the same place at the same time. Preferably a private spot (e.g. in an instance or a not-to-trafficy public spot). Are those games instanced (like guild wars) or are they open worlds (like WoW)?

haha yeah totally forgot about DANCE! They are open worlds like wow unfortunately with instanced content.. as for BOTS I can't say for sure.. the team pvp is probably instanced.

If anyone has a server.. you could run just about any FPS that has a free multiplayer demo. You could just make a map with all of us vs. a horde of really dumb bots. Thats always fun. oh man.. bf42 with knives ONLY. Best. Time. Ever Or we could just get in planes and try to run into each other..

Thats always fun. oh man.. bf42 with knives ONLY. Best. Time. Ever lol that would be fun. can you host a game on the demos? Dance! online? what is that DDR? Yea any instanced game that allows alot of players in one instance. FPS servers are great for that, but I don't know if we can get one. I know in Soldier Front(free from ijji.com) you can create your own room and put a pass on it. *shrug* it's an ok game. I think in WarRock you can do it to. That game has classes at least lol. Combat was weird and not really fun though. If we could create a room in UT4 I think it could support enough people. How many people? 20? 30? Bots are fun. Or put one really really hard bot vs. all of us lol

Another option would be a rpg game that can handle private servers (e.g. Diablo, Neverwinter Nights). I have both of those games (ver 1 and 2).

Um.... could be cool but I've gotten hosed once this month (right now actually I'm stuck at an airport because of weather... Mid july - maybe - right now.... not so much (plus I'm actually traveling the previous week on business). WORST case senierio we've still got a chat box here on the boards no? we can all get RL beer and just get drunk and slur our speech in text what ever everyone else wants to do or sounds cool - well - I can get behind it.

Drink every time you die in game for FPS games? Drink every time you get an item in Diablo or DR?

I'll do Dungeon Runners - still working on getting that set up. It hasn't been a huge priority for me lately. I should get that up in time FPS - well, it'd be a little more difficult to get that on my to-do list in time. I wish everyone had Guild Wars. Chat room works for me as well. We do have a TS too so we can do real or chat. whatever works. I guess we have to nail down a solid plan here soon though.

I have Guild Wars, but aren't the groups limited in size as well?
The best bet might be to do Dungeon Runners, make as many separate groups as necessary, and play in the smaller groups while we chat in TS.
We could always do some musical groups as well (play for a while, then switch up groups, etc.). As long as we are all on TS, it should work.
We pretty much need a traditional MMO or FPS to get a bunch of people into a private play area.

Does the EQ2 trial let you go out of the starter zone? I seem to recall that when I tried it, that was a long time ago though.
