It doesn't need to be an MMO, just allow us to play with a handful of friends. Co-Op is really the way to go. Want to play solo? then play it solo. Want a friend or 3 to join with you for dungeon spelunking adventures? Then do that too.

Choices and options are always best.

No thank you.

would be cool. but not going to happen
