I've played in quite a few team games, and this is spot on. The whole
purpose of these things is to play as a team, so stick together. Some
recommendations from my experience:
* If you're out front and getting away from the other players, stop and wait
for them to catch up. If you're trailing behind the peleton, quit fooling
around and get caught up to the group ASAP. Fast or slow players need to
modify their play styles to match the majority.
* Everyone goes to town together to repair, sell, shop, etc. No one should
remain in the field killing while a town stop is in progress. But don't
dally in town, do what you have to do and get back as promptly as possible.
* When entering a new area or leaving town after a stop, wait till everyone
is present before starting out. If you start out together, it's easier to
stay together.
* You can appoint a pointman to lead the group for the evening. Or what I
prefer is to have a standard procedure. For example, when entering a new
area always turn left and work the area clockwise (or turn right and work it
counterclockwise). This way everyone knows what to expect and you don't have
to guess what to do. And the party won't fragment when one group goes one
way and another goes in the opposite direction.

Playing a team game is a little different from your normal D2 experience,
but it is well worth the effort.
