Just curious what games anybody is currently playing with others?
I am looking for any old vets from around here, or new people I have no clue about, who may want to play Mass Effect 3, Star Wars The Old Republic, really those first two are the only I play right now, but I am also considering getting back into Star Trek Online or Dungeons And Dragons Online, I may also get Diablo 3 sometime soon, and for the future anybody that may plan to play Borderlands 2.

I don't have as much free time to play multiplayer games as I would like, so when I do play I stick to playing with friends. Haven't played online publicly since 2005, but that may change within the next year.
The semi-regular games I play with my friends are StarCraft: Brood War, Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic and Unreal Tournament 2004. Probably not a lot of gamers these days that would list an RTS, TBS and FPS in one sentence, but there you have it.
Torchlight II, Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition and Dungeon Lords MMXII** -- coincidentally all fantasy RPG types -- are the only upcoming multiplayer games on my radar right now, but to be fair I haven't been keeping up with upcoming games much lately and I may be unaware of some things of interest. Certainly I've heard of a few games after they came out that sound worth checking out at some point, but I can't think of any multiplayer ones right now off the top of my head.
I still love Diablo to this day and replay it at least once a year, and I (albeit a bit reluctantly due to what I felt was a highly constricting skill system) played about 20 characters through Normal difficulty on Diablo II: Lord of Destruction and a handful into Nightmare, but I decided to overlook Diablo III entirely as I cannot seem to interest myself in playing a game where, from what I understand, the designers crippled the inventory system to ensure it would bury you in garbage just to encourage the use of the real-money auction house.
**EDIT 11/7/12: I felt I should mention, Dungeon Lords MMXII was canceled for release in the US and based on reviews and videos, sadly did not improve much on previous Dungeon Lords Collector's Edition. Not surprising considering the game's troubled development history, but nonetheless disappointing. Despite the game barely being 'finished' in any sense, some aspects of it were quite fun. The potential is there for a great game but this updated version doesn't unleash it, merely changes stuff for no real reason, adds a few new things that make no real difference, and really didn't fix any of the problems with the original. Can't recommend it.
