Oh, Eppie's post reminded me of a big reason I enjoy this game as much as I do and it might be good to note as a selling point.
I also play pretty much on my own. I do so partly because I'm sure I would embarrass myself but also because I am up and down a lot, usually fairly urgently. I am never sure how quickly I will get back to the game, so I love the fact that the game doesn't have an idle timeout. As long as your toon is parked in a safe spot, so a wandering mob doesn't have free shots at her, the game is likely to still be where you left it, even hours later. I've actually had a game sit idle for the better part of 2 days. As long as your connection holds, and they don't take the servers down for patching or maintenance, your current zone stays just as you left it, even loot on the ground. Of course, the 8/15 minute rule still holds for previously visited zones
