Surprised no one mentioned Guild Wars, especially with Factions out now. It's very much like an MMO, but almost entirely instanced (so you don't have to worry about being bothered by huge amounts of people), MP-friendly, and is free after the initial purchase(s). Factions is an expansion pack, of sorts, but it's a standalone product. Purchasing it will allow you to play Guild Wars: Factions, but not the original campaign, and vice versa. Owning both will of course allow you access to all content.
Granted, the original campaign is $40, and the new campaign is priced at $50, like any other new PC game, but for unlimited playing without any further fees, you can't go wrong. Plus, there's lots of people in the community that still play, so it may be worth your while to check out, especially if you're a fan of Diablo.
