Jorath,
I played a similar game last night, on soft core ladder on USwest. I had a charged bolt/static sorc. I tried moving through travincal and the durance systematicaly while others were charging off and bringing back swarms of monsters chasing them. A couple of us would get the monsters strung out again and kill them, while popping into town for potions while the others waited it out in town. A particularly nasty corridor had a boss pack of blood lords and a pack of stygian dolls led into it. I almost died at diablo, to stupidity (drank potions in the wrong belt slot). After he died I went to Harrogath and exited the game.
I have yet to see a boss drop in a multi player game beyond a flash of yellow items falling toward the floor before they disapear (most don't survive long enough to land).
In most games there is greater cooperation and more of a party feel. Until the boss is almost dead, then one or two people keep fighting and everyone else crowds in and waits for the "uber drop." Also I notice more people willing to visit all the areas of the game, get all the pieces of the Staff, and all of Khalim's body parts.
