Hello
New Version and Old Version Multiplayer-Online-Cross?
Can i play online (Old Version) with other people (New Version) online?

Sry bad english :D
I doubt they can work together. What I'm much more curious about is whether this'll be gutted for non-steam users because they might do multiplayer via Steam. :s

As bad as GOG Galaxy might be, in its beta state, it'll always have that over Steam: it's cross-platform. You can theoretically play any game that has online functionality with people who have the Steam version -- this can already be seen in select titles such as Divinity: Original Sin, Aliens versus Predator, Double Dragon Trilogy, Rise of the Triad (2013) and a few others. Admittedly, there are not that many games on GOG right now that take full advantage of this feature, but it does look promising and it is, in fact, something Steam doesn't cover, as of now -- you have a Steam version, you can only play online with people who also have the same Steam version. Like I said, theoretically, buying the game on GOG means you could play it with people who bought it on Steam, but that's *in theory*. It remains to be seen whether Team17 will take advantage of that GOG Galaxy feature or not.

[EDIT] According to GOG's official pre-order video, Worms World Party comes with full GOG Galaxy support, which means that it does, indeed, support cross-platform play with people playing the Steam version. As for cross play with the classic version of the game, I don't think that's possible, unfortunately...

For sure this is going to have multiplay compatibility with steam clients? I want to buy it here at GoG but I don't want to lock myself off from a large population of online players.

I can't say yes at 100%, but GOG officialy said : "Worms World Party Remastered multiplayer will be powered by Team17's infrastructure, with GOG Galaxy support for remaining features." so it's very likely (it's at the bottom of the official announce of the launch of the game, they updated the text) (). And look especially at this [url=http://www.gog.com/forum/general/preorder_worms_world_party_remastered_662b9/post72]particular message from GOG staff's member.

You can look at this thread too there will be (may be) more informations. And if you have any doubt, it's a thread where there is a representative of Team17 who try to answer to our questions, and where he give us some news.

Hope all of this will help :)

Edit : I just noticed one thing... Here I'm talking only about WWP Remastered (and compatibility for multiplayer between GOG version and Steam version), not about the compatibility between the old one and the remastered version : I have no idea at all for this ! But at first glance, I don't think the Remastered and non-remastered will be compatible. Or it would surprise me...

Online multiplayer between Remastered and original won't be possible for one reason - in the original, the number of worms per match is limited to 18. This restriction is not present in Remastered - you can place 48 worms on screen (maximum possible number).

Multiplayer between original and remastered is not possible. Game will told you that there is no free space in the game for you... Already tryed :) I have only old one working (new one has that water bug).

Another think is that old one is going to different server then new one. Old server is empty but if you made some small change than you can connect to new server and there you can see all players but you cant play with them.... only with those who are there with old wwp too like me :)
