I think that is the saddest thing I've heard today. 200,000 players on Battle.net at any given point -- and we opt to play on-line and alone.
Oh, well. I've done it too. :)
To answer the original poster. I'd say it depends. But, more on your bandwidth and whether you can find someone you can tolerate to play with online. In open realm games I just got tired of never getting to pick up any of the good loot, potions, or gold. I always end up funding the resurrection of my merc and repair of my gear out of pocket, and somehow leave the experience poorer, but richer in experience. But, if you can find some mature folks who will actually act decent and share with you (like the folks at AB), then it is more worthwhile than single player.
