I'd be up for this (in UK standard time):

I dropped the blue stone a few times but no one summoned me. Is it possible to be summoned in a level where you've already defeated the boss?

So, I got a game going with AnotherGod, and the PS3 text chat worked surprisingly well despite only allowing short messages (I was a bit surprised the system could handle running both things simultaneously).

Unfortunately I had little experience in 1-2 and the dragon got AG.

I think I might practice and level up a bit more before allowing myself to be summoned. Some random guy called chanchan summoned me in 1-2, and I also died quite quickly.

Having turned flesh, I had some really good multiplayer sessions last night, summoning blue souls, again with anothergod (are you on US eastern seaboard time?).

Felt really guilty though, because on 1-2, me, AG and another guy made it close to the boss when AG went down. So me and the last guy enter the world and while he distracts the boss (he was melee), I head up top to take out the archers and boss using magic. So the guy is down below, hacking at this enormous knight's ankles, dropping his HP, and I'm up top firing. The boss is well distracted, and suddenly I think to myself: "No you crazy fool! It's not worth it. Stop taking him on down there and come hide up here where it's safe." Anyway, eventually my helper snuffs it, in the process enabling me to knock off a lot of the boss' HP, and I beat the level. Sadly though any blue souls that die don't receive any rewards after the level is finished. I gave him an S rank though in the ratings screen, because he really gave it his all. Still, felt a bit bad that he'd risked his life down below and I couldn't help him.

I'm really going to try building up my melee stats now. It seems like bad show to cower in safety while my helpers risk soul and limb.

After that, myself, AG and someone else took on 4-1. AG was doing well as melee but died due to lock on trouble, while the other guy guided me through the level, pointed out some secret treasure I would have missed, and then helped me beat the boss. Seriously awesome, and much, much easier in multiplayer.

There was some great teamwork on show.

The chatroom idea is a really good one, but it can be frustrating when one guy dies and you can't stop to talk because you're in the middle of a heated battle. And then that guy has to wait a while before he can be summoned again.

Anyway, assuming I don't snuff it and become a soul, I'm up for trying worlds 2-2 and 5-1 tonight with anyone who's interested.

I've now got spare Gash Resistance and Fragrance rings (Fragrance costs 60,000 souls and recharges magic) up for trade, and I know Stonefang tunnel like the back of my hand if anyone needs any help. I'm mainly looking for a Ring of Avarice, but I'll trade the rings for some Darkmoonstone, especially the bigger ores, to level my Rapier.
