Yeah, it's solo and small private group co-op, there are *some* open public servers but their admins have to put heroic efforts into anti-grief protections because the default game has absolutely zero defences so insists on server passwords. Gotta shop around for invites on the LFG tab ==>

I thought it was some kin dof multiplayer, my bad

There is a mechanic that allows for non-cooperative play (wards), but the issue is with the way that world difficulty has been implemented. As you take on the individual bosses in the game, the entire game world becomes more dangerous. So in an open server one player or group of players could advance to the end and it would be almost completely unplayable for everyone else because end-game enemies would start spawning in the starting areas.
