I've been playing online some more and I must agree - the connections are usually pretty stable. Most servers I connect to are at 200ms ping, and while I do experience -some- lag (no more than when I tried dungeon siege with somebody who lives around the corner) it's pretty bearable.

I tried my hands at making a module and I might finish it some day. I mainly got stuck at scripting, which I know nothing about. Simple things, like getting an NPC to approach a player or getting some monsters to kill some commoners when the player gets closer. I'll probably need to dig into the official campaign to find out which scripts I need for most things. Unfortunately, that means it's going to take a pretty long time to get anything done, which probably means I'll end up not making it :)

Ah well. Just felt like posting something.
