Perhaps maybe Civ game? I recently got Civ5 and it is decent. I don't enjoy it as much as Civ3 but that doesn't mean I still had fun. Perhaps getting Civ4 complete (with all the expansions) would be a better idea. You can play online together and just team up against everyone. Pretty much you could be allied and the other players wouldn't even know. Used to do something like that in Starcraft 1. Me and friend would join a 4v4 comp game or whatever and act like we didn't know each other. Then one of us would un-ally with everyone (thus the map going dark so they knew you are no longer ally) and then people would be like hey that guy is trying to kill us get him. We would then wage fake wars against each other or whatever. Eventually the other person would un-ally and we would kill them all. So they were going into the game thinking it would be an easy comp win when they end up with a loss (backstab). Was a dick move but would always crack me up seeing people bitch at me.
Not sure how you played Diablo 2 religiously. Perhaps, I did at one point but after my billionth Baal run I pretty much got tired of it. Once you get to lvl 92 or so it takes way too damn long to level up. Perhaps I should do the hardcore mode where you die once and you are dead (but I would probably lag and die or some bs and that would piss me off).
