Reccomend me a MMORPG
Postino:
If you are looking for a game that has quest grinding, and the quests are actually interesting and entertaining then LOTRO is the way to go. WoW's quests at times can make me chuckle but for the most part they are boring, tedious and monotonous. I am not saying that the quests in LOTRO won't be monotonous at times, but the main difference is that they have crafted it in such a way that almost every quest seems to have a purpose.

There are actually certain servers that are known for their RP. I believe the most popular RP server is Virtue.

Instead of doing an in detail comparison of all the MMOs I've played (and I'll include GW since its not really a MMO but still):
FFXI > Planetside > Guild Wars > Lineage 2 > WoW > Earth & Beyond
I'm currently playing Middle Earth Online trying it out (aka Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar). I don't honestly know where to put it, I'm level 25 so not highest level yet, but I've walked all the way to Rivendell and to the opposite side, as well as made it to a good portion of Angmar on foot at my level alone. To me that bodes bad for the game - that and the fact that they are very very strict to the Tolkien lore which is a nice thing, but means there is absolutely no magic in the game, no fights with Balrogs in end game dungeons, hell even the giant spider you can't fight. They'll be in the game, but you can't fight them. Which makes your character the single most powerful/glorified BOAR killer in the game. That is a bit drabby...
Edit: I forgot to mention I heard Age of Conan was looking good, but the appeal of the game to me isn't sticking so far. I think I need to go read more up on it for it to really grab me. Eve Online definitely tempted(s) me, but I'm worried about the long travel times which were rampant in Earth & Beyond and the fact if you're not in a Corp the game is boring. I don't mind being in a group/linkshell/guild/corp/whatever, but also at times I like playing the game solo.
And the one MMO that has me twitching to play *pun intended* is Huxley - but god knows when the game will be released. Its had more delays than even Middle Earth online did, but the videos of gameplay and the game itself are just gorgeous and tantalizing to me.

I've been enjoying Vanguard for awhile, but there are still problems with the UI crashing, and there is no high-end raid content. Also, membership is seriously declining. Which is a shame, because Vanguard is an absolutely gorgeous game, with well balanced classes, and a HUGE world to play in.
However, as much fun as Vanguard has been for a casual MMO-er like myself, I'll probably end up switching to Age of Conan when that comes out. It'll give me an excuse to install my copy of Vista Ultimate that has been sitting around since March. It's a Mature-rated MMO, with advertised features like graphic violence, nudity, prostitution, and drug use. Can I get a hell yeah?

Well obviously as it's rated M for Mature, it's intended for an adult audience. I'm interested to see how tasteful it will be in regards to the story and world in general, as opposed to just having it there for the sake of having it there. Hopefully the rating will keep out the afterschool kids screaming "OMG FUCK YOU NOOB" (in pre-adolescent soprano) into their headsets. That's one of the reasons I didn't stay with WoW after my trial ran out.
