Multi-Player RPG

Looking for good, low key Multi-Player RPGs. Something along the lines of EQ, WoW, Runescape, Final Fantasy (Online or traditional), Etc.

I want to do LAN-Style group play tho in a controlled environment with friends/family. So I'd prefer to be able to setup and run my own server/clients.

I've found Crossfire and think it might be along the lines of what I want. (http://forum.metalforge.net/) I'm having troubles getting it working properly (Probably my fault, but I'm still fiddling with it).

Graphics aint' really a driving issue. Runescape is fine, although if there is anything with graphics around Warcraft or NWN2, I'd be willing to pay for server/client.

Hope I'm giving enough info for this, because I just started searching and was wondering if anyone here had good suggestions for games I may not heard of or found.

Uhmm you could try neverwinter nights, it lets you do LAN games with keeping the single player story i think.
