Less people on the server means that i actually can do quests without having to wait on respawns. I love the MMOs that no one ever plays.

I liked NeoSteam, although the character creation is way too limited for my liking. The gameplay is decent for what I experienced, but I think after about an hour or two, I went back to my MMO stand-by, Mabinogi. (Which is a very lovely MMO, by the by.) Earth Eternal... I didn't like so much. I don't know what it was that I didn't like. Maybe the gameplay or the fact that it was a browser based MMO, so it lagged like all hell on my "fucking download only" PC. A few of the MMO's I'd actually give the time of day to are Mabinogi (as stated above), Dungeon Fighter Online (which is like an arcade brawler game), D&D Online, and MAYBE EverQuest on a good day. Though, around... October? I'm going to be a happy MMO enthusiast. Vindictus will be coming out around then and from what I've seen in trailers and screen-shots, it's going to be a godtier MMO. Looking like Oblivion but MMO, basically. I actually tried out both of those a little while back. I liked NeoSteam, although the character creation is way too limited for my liking.

It is true, most MMOs are pretty damn linear, myself, I like a fair few, but I do have a problem, and that's I get so involved in it, the game feels like I have a goddamn JOB. It's like, I feel obligated to punch in and grind for 8 hours straight, which is the point I tell myself "step away from the laptop and go back to casual gaming." I know how you artists feel now. Ouch. If it's story though, something that's not your typical dungeon crawler, I can recommend either NeoSteam, a fantasy Steampunk mixture that's got some really cool features, or Earth Eternal, in Open Beta, with a REALLY immense (when I mean immense, I mean 145-pages-and-counting-backstory) story with basis in several religions/mythologies, and it's all centered around animals. Unfortunately, the furry stigma's attached pretty close to that, so, not recommended if you're anti-fur. Anyway, I think the biggest problem with MMOs is that they start as a good idea, but then when you get to a certain point, it's like, the creators just got bored and now there's nothing left for a high-level to do. But still, anything's better than WoW, right?
