TOG - The Older Gamers

Do any Toggers still play? I love the single player but would really like to give co-op a go.

The short answer is, "Yes - but it depends".

You can always "go public" if you want, but if you really want to enjoy your BL experience then you should get together a fixed/known group of friends. Some questions to help you organise a co-op group:

In what time zone are you located (ie., are you looking for EU/NA co-op players or AU/NZ)?
Do you just have the base game or do you have any of the three DLCs (affects who can host, where you can travel on Pandora, etc)?
On what platform are you playing (PS3, XBox360 or PC)?
If PC, do you have Borderlands from Steam, retail or some other method (ie., would using Steam to co-ordinate with other players be an issue for you or do you prefer Xfire or something else)?
If PC, do you have an external voice app (TeakSpeak, Ventrilo or Mumble) that you use with other TOG divisions (because in-game voice for Borderlands isn't generally worth the effort)?
What up/down speed is your broadband connection (again, relates to who can host)?

Sorry there's a bunch of questions there, but most of these generally come up when trying to sort out co-op groups so it's easiest to just get 'em out of the way at the outset.

Okay, I can't recommend anyone specifically from NA playing Borderlands (though I know of one who recently got the game via Steam - I'll point him to this thread) as most of the folk I know/play alongside are in AU; hopefully one (or more) of the NA/EU-based players will pipe up soon given the answers you've provided.

Either way, have fun with the game!

I have it on PC and I'm in NA. I haven't had much game time due to a new little one. But I would be up for some co-op. What time zone and when do you usually play? I am central and I can squeeze some time in between 9-10 Central time.
