That's right. This is about communication.
Me and Iryan have schemed in secret to bring us all a bit closer together.
So, for those of you who are interested, I've thrown together two groups for us. Let me state that these two groups are made with the idea of being a bit more 'updated' alternative to the IRC chat. Both of these options might be initially ugly to some, but let me explain.
First, Skype.
Now Skype of course does not have to be used for it's Videochatting/calling features which are sometimes, admittedly, less-than-stellar.. However it's instant messaging is rock solid, and you can customize notification settings for the group conversation so that it will only notify you if certain things are said. For example, I can customize it so that it will only notify me if someone says 'Raymus', 'Ray', 'Nafus', 'Naf', etc.
Here is the link to join the Skype group.

Second, Steam.
If you didn't know, you can add your own game to your Steam Library. So those of you (which I'm pretty sure are the majority) who are not using the Steam release of the game but instead use a disc version or a modded executable can still use the Steam overlay. Which is a semi-seamless way of chatting in-game. After all, I'm sure you still use Steam for other games, no?
So I've made us a group for that too. You might've noticed Iryan's blog post regarding the Dungeon Siege community on Steam, I reccomend joining up with them as well.
The Steam group, however, I chose to have closed (invite only) since it's much easier for random folk to join a group on Steam rather than Skype, so you'll have to wait for I or Iryan to accept you. Let us know down below if you requested to join the group and your name on Steam is not the same as on Siegetheday.

Glad to see Siege The Day evolving! I was joining the group right now - but hell, there are only 2 people in there atm? I hope we grow a little bigger in the next few months. If you like, you can also join my "Dungeon Siege 3 is NOT Dungeon Siege!!" Steam group, which is very famous and amusing

So did you guys already try DS2 via Steam? I read that they cut out the Multiplayer?!
