Anyone hear about a game called Demon's Souls? It looks pretty hardcore, and has an interesting online mode. You're always online, and you see other people playing, they leave messages on the ground (hints, false hints, random stuff), and blood (you can click on the blood to see how they died). The reason I'm posting here is because I guess you people aren't ashamed of playing rpgs, online, and would like a lot less obligatory online rpg play (Faf in 2 mins get online!).
To explain it, here's a informative video Preview (stuff is explained)

PVP vid. Looks like Bushido Blade.

I got the Deluxe Edition because it comes with a big strategy guide. (guy sniffing it)

Edit: a better Co op battle. Look like a group used the PSN chat to find each other and play together.
