Looking for Borderlands friends (XBOX)

So, I bought Borderlands the other day for 25£ which I felt was a bargain for a game that new. Yesterday I finally decided to put it in my xbox for the very first time. I was thrilled at the start, but as I started to level up (level 14 now) I really figured why people say you're supposed to play it in co-op, cause the singleplayer (I found) really challenging and not very exciting as there is nearly no plot whatsoever.

I decided that it might would be more fun if I played it on live, so I figured I'd host a match and let people come into my game and share my adventures, the problem however was that all the people who joined either left, or got kicked (by me ofc) for just wanking around doing nothing other then making life harder than it already was before they joined (not to mention the explosive people who thought shooting me was fun to lower my fps...)

Bottomline: I'm looking for some team-mates to play Borderlands with. Starting again on level 1 is not a problem since I've only spent a few hours in the game anyway.

About myself:
I'm a friendly guy who enjoys teamwork. I've been raiding alot in WoW (but got tired of commiting to a game 4 hours a day, every week.) I live in Norway, but my english skills are fairly good and speaking/understanding english is not an issue (except when people from the UK are mumbling :<) our time is UTC/GMT +2 hours (To prevent timezone fuckups with US people)
I am available pretty much all day long (atleast until 15th August).

EDIT: For convenience...
Gametag: Fuglestad
If you want to play add my Gametag and send me a message either here or on the xbox.

2nd EDIT:
Getting 4 guys together would be pretty sweet (I didnt expect to get replies that quick tbh ;o)
Nr.1: Edorf
Nr.2: The Rookie Gamer
Nr.3: The Ambrosian
Nr.4: MercurySteam / SomeBritishDude (There might be some issues finding a good time to play at if you're 10 hours infront of us Mecury ;O)
(I've not listed the people who 'might' play
Please note that even though you're not on the "team" you are still free to send me friend request and we'll see if we cant find some time to play together ;)

I'll play every now and then. I'm English not on Xbox much but I'll come every now and then. I'm 15 in September, not squeaky or anything. I'll play if you get another couple of people in. I have a level 40 something character and one in the teens I think.
Gamertag: DannyG259
Message me on here if you get a couple of other people in and i'll play.

The General Knoxx DLC kinda pissed me off to the point of putting it down for awhile, but I'm always willing to play with good people.

Gamertag: MercurySteam04
Time Zone: GMT +10
Characters: 61 Soldier + 30ish Siren.

My soldier is a great support character as my abilities allow me to heal the entire team at once. Plus I have +17 ammo regen.

Fair enough. And if it's any help I don't have the DLC and i'm GMT +0
So I guess i'll play with you later.
Also Spain will win the world cup.

Ok, I just checked my character and he's good to go. With 4 people in a team, Pandora's monsters are really mean so even a 61 Soldier will have his work cut out for him. My mods increase team accuracy and my team ammo regen is so high you'll be regenerating ammo faster than you can fire it.

Feel free to add me to your list.

I'm in exactly the same situation. I bought Borderlands for £15 the other days and after only 3 days I already feel like I wasted my money (especially considering Death Spank is coming out next week for the same price). It basically seems to be Fallout 3 with a less interesting setting and exploration and an over hyped multiplayer.

Would love to have some escapians change my mind. Friend me, my gamertag is Bloodhound125. I'll jump on right now if anyone's going to be on. My character is a level 16 Hunter.

Alright, We should discuss some times and such... I neither have the DLCs, but I have no problems getting the add-ons.

How's 21:30(GMT "UK")- right after the match has finished ^^ tonight (Saturday) for you guys?
If this time doesnt suit you, please tell me what times which are good for you ;)

Also, where do people want to start? I'm a few hours into the game, but I dont mind starting right off the bus either.

It looks like you solved your problem, but just a heads up, when you want to do something like forming a group for games you should check for a user group based around said game.
Here's the one for Borderlands: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Escapist-Borderlands
