Well, we started at around 4 pm est and we played for about 6 hours in total over three modules. None of the modules were completed. The first wasn't completed because some of us brutally slew two plot-important statues, so we couldn't continue :p
The second campaign caused the server to go down because of the HUGE citymap. It took my computer over a minute and a half to load or unload the citymap, and when I finally unloaded it the server had gone down.
The third module was one filled with traps, and eventually we all died and ended up in a little Area full of lava and a sign that said something along the lines of "Welcome to Hell, Pop. 7,384,495,302,172". We ended up whacking the sign for about 15 minutes out of boredom :p

Despite the misfortunes of our adventuring parties, it was a lot of fun. Especially the part where our Halfling (hah!) Rogue got into trouble -every single time- by stepping onto traps that teleported you to some other place was funny.

The beginnings of modules were rather awkward though, since we basically didn't know a thing about the module's start and we sometimes had a little 'difficulty' in finding a reason for our characters to adventure together.
Perhaps we should set up some kind of 'database' of characters, and each time we play together we all use the same character? That way we'd have a basis of knowing eachother. It would basically be a bunch of multiplayer games with some Campaign elements.
Doing so would also open up new interesting oppurtunities, like creating a Portrait pack, so everybody can use their custom portraits.

Anyhow, I had fun. Now I'm off designing a new outfit for my characters. It sucked to have two near-identical characters running around. Especially if both were mages of some sort!
