Have you played much Dark Souls yet? It's not really designed to play with other people you know. The underlying network infrastructure doesn't really support that type of play and neither does the gameplay. Playing coop requires one of you to be human and one undead. Each play session where each of you are undead will require one humanity from one of you to become human to summon the other. Humanity is a rare and difficult to obtain resource for most of the game, only really farmable in specific areas in the Tomb of Giants and the Depths. Also, the undead player completing a section of the game only receives souls from the play session and will need to progress through that area again as human in order to progress.
I've been co-oping it since demon's souls, multiple play throughs WITH my friends.

it works you just have to take the time to summon the person and have to beat bosses/areas twice. but that adds to the fun anyways.
that and you can be summoned while you are human, you don't have to be undead!
