I agree with the idea to really build up a party of level 1 rookies and just have some fun without trying to level up and collect equipment at all costs.

How should we proceed with this? It seems that the interested players will cover almost the full range of time zones so I guess during the week it will be rather difficult to get all people on board.
Should we try to setup something for the weekend? Or should whoever is setting up an MTW/Diablo game just post here and see if anybody is going to join?
