I have no personal experience with co-op play, but I keep files on issues people have with this game, so here is the stuff I've collected from various threads over the years:

From a 12/5/2020 thread:

..........the test servers domain I used at that time, has been replaced by the offical lobby address which is already known by the game by default, so adding a lobby domain is not needed anymore (and for the "hex41" address, probably won't work anymore ;)), you can just go into OpenNet and will be able to use the multiplayer without doing extra stuff (if you have no mods installed, otherwise see below):

1. Launch Sacred 2 and go to Multiplayer > OpenNet
   If there is no OpenNet Button, download this file[darkmatters.org], copy it into your game directory with the same folder structure and restart Sacred 2 before proceeding.
   
2. Create a new account:
   You need to fill out all fields, but may enter whatever you like - but: please do not enter your actual cd-key or real email address, just use fake data instead as it does not matter and I dont want to know those anyway, I just can't prevent the game on your end asking for it and sending it to me ;)
   
3. Enter the lobby with your credentials and select an existing character or create a new one.
   
4. Join any server which matches your game version (see server title and description).
   Joing a non-matching server will crash your game without further notice, so go to a "vanilla" server with an unmodded game and to a "cm160hf" one with the CM Patch installed for example.
   
5. Loot Ancaria :)

First things first, this is still very new and needs further testing so consider this a work in progress which may have downtimes and save accordingly often. If you find any bugs or crash the lobby or single gameservers, please post here as it may help me in getting this working more stable:

1. Ensure you have either the latest Version of Sacred with Ice&Blood (2.65.2) or CM-Patch 1.60 with hotfix.

NOTE FROM HIFIVE:

ITEMS 2 AND 3 ARE NO LONGER NECESSARY PER LAIN@X ON THIS THREAD, DATED 9-17-2020:

2. In your Explorer navigate to "C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred2"
3. Create a file there called "OptionsCustom.txt", insert following single line and save it:
network.lobby_ip = "hex41.de"

*******************************************************

4. If you want to use the CM-Patch, copy these files[darkmatters.org] into your game directory.
5. Launch Sacred2 and go to Multiplayer > OpenNet
5.1 Create a new Account:
Please do not enter sensitive data into the account registration form (I.e don't enter your actual game key and alike; also you do not have to use your real email address as it does not matter). I will look at the related log files and database entries for debugging purposes sometimes so again don't put anything private in there.
5.2 Enter the lobby with your credentials and create or select an existing character
5.3 Join any server which matches your game version and have fun
If you get a black screen or "connection aborted" message while doing so, you have most likely tried to join a cm-patched server with an unpatched game version or vice versa (or, the server previously crashed but was not unlisted from the lobby).

For more on this if you are interested why we even have a lobby back online, read this thread in the community forums[darkmatters.org].

Or just join the multiplayer servers through Open Net.
