I have been thinking about this a while, but I highly doubt I will ever be able to get this organized enough among my friends to do it.
 
However, has anyone ever thought about doing a 7-players Let's Play of Diablo II? Each players picks one class, and you go through the entire game on normal with that class. I can easily seeing the problem arise of people not having time, fighting over who gets to be who, and some people rushing. Obviously, guidelines and order would need to be in place.
 
In my fairytale world, people could be split into multiple teams. For example, the Barbarian, Amazon, and Druid could be one team, Paladin and Sorceress a second, and Necromancer and Assassin a third. Each team could have specific quests to complete, and voice chat would be enabled between the teams. Additionally, at least one person on each team would be recording.
 
Actually, now that I think about it, why not just have those teams work separately, and when it comes time to fight the final boss in each act, they work together? That is another alternative that I hadn't thought up before...
 
Regardless, this is incredibly complicated and it would probably never work, but it would be cool if someone could pull that off.
 
What do you guys think? The whole reason I even thought of this is because I was watching 3 people play Hexen and it was pretty awesome...
 
Edit: Necromancer/Paladin and Assassin/Sorceress might be a better pairing, now that I think about it.

If you did that, if you all were in the server, each doing a separate quest so you could get through it faster, the mobs would be suited for 8 players, not the two in each team. It would be extraordinarily more difficult.

especially putting necromancer and assassin together. not the strongest pair

Sounds like fun, gotta say. I never played D2 online back in the day, I didn't realize there was still much interest in it. Though I suppose it's not that surprising, it is a Blizzard game. 
 
Brings back good memories of my defencive Paladin.

If this were to happen, I think IP connections would be best - mostly to help prevent random people from entering, and to reduce the chance of trading/banning (who knows what someone would do).

Sounds like fun alright. I'd love to join in on your shenanigans but I can't since I've got exams to do soon. Good luck with it though.
