Fable was only fun for maybe 15 hours. After you beat the story (good and bad), you're basically godly strong and killing everyone isn't all that challenging or amusing. At least The Lost Chapters adds another...maybe 6 hours.
As for an MMORPG with depth, I gotta reccomend Anarchy Online. It's got a story (Clan v Org and it even gives real story updates daily and it's pretty interesting), some of the ARCs (Player GM like staff) host in-game events fairly often and it's got, without a doubt, THE most in-depth character customization I've ever seen in any MMO. Not to mention extremely indepth crafting.
You can play it free, and it's perfectly fine that way. But if you pay for the expansions (I think it's $9.99 a month) you get basically double the world and double the items, but what's great is the free players are at NO handicap against the paying players except at end game. (Free guys, or froobs, get to level 200, paying players get to level 220)
