What are the best games for connecting with old childhood friends (casual gamers) that have drifted apart? (self.gaming)

Like we're not triple-A machine possessors at this point. A friend and I played in the era of the original Age of Empires, and StarCraft; Worms, and Dune. We were core SNES-PS2 era. We were never the ultra competitive hotkey speed run strategy types, but just played for fun.

Anyone out there in your late 30s to early 40s that have managed to connect to old friends despite long distances, what are you playing now?

MMOs like FFXIV and Guild Wars 2 are good for casual content while you hang out. don't need powerful rigs to play them either

there are also lots of ways to take old games and play them multiplayer nowadays too

I came here to suggest FF14 but GW2 is an excellent choice as well since there's no monthly subscription. There's so much content to check out in both games both solo and as a group.
