Text adventures. It's not out yet, but I've been following the development of taustation which will be an in-browser space adventure using text as a medium to tell the story. It is multiplayer of course. There are a few games like this within a fantasy setting, but none Scifi that I've seen. The team does bi-monthly blog post updates going over everything from in game lore to artwork to code testing and architecture. The games creator and lead is an expert in the Perl community and wrote one of the best programming books in my rather large collection. So not doing a huge amount of playing at the moment, but eagerly anticipating. Check it out:

League of Legends is my jam, I love the split second mechanical strategy that has me constantly trying to outsmart my opponents. Example: I cant cast my ultimate ability in a team fight until two specific opposing champions use their interrupt abilities. Opponents building Magic Penetration items? Magic Resist items won't help me, time to build straight health items.

The other game I play is Battlefield 1942. I've been playing that game since 2002 and there are a number of communities keeping the online scene alive even though Gamespy shut down their master server browser.
