This is mostly for Sci-Fi fans.
I play
www.anarchy-online.com
The main world is free and you can optionally buy expansion packs of the game.
The game is old more than 5 years. Its graphics are
outdated -but a new upgraded graphics engine is in development..
Its professions are not the usual Fantasy-RPG types. Eg It has Engineer,Doctor,Nano Technician,Meta Physisist etc..
I am a Sci-Fi fan and this is the best Sci Fi game I seen so far.
Eve online is I think the top SciFi game but from what I read (=not sure) you control a spaceship -not a character...
Another game that seems interesteing but haven't tried it yet is Tabula Rasa (

Comparing to WoW I can say that I know at least 5 people that left AO, played WoW until they reached top level to one of their characters and came back to AO .
Some other friends I have ,said that AO stats are more complex than WoW..
If you're a sci-fi fan I suggest you give it a try (download the classic-free version) .
If you want to just laugh (and know good english) try a browser mmorpg text-based game :
