I would love to play a game that is NOT about the grind OR has very little time required to level (I can deal with hundreds of levels as long as you keep dangling shiny new skills in front of me). Classlessness, player houses, weird places to wander through are great, non-combat skills are amusing for a while.
I need something with a good community... none of this keep to your mob-killing bullshit.
The only game that fit both of these was SMT: Imagine (for the first 30 or so levels in closed beta)
I seem to have a one month attention span with MMO's (I would really like to break that)
I thought Face of Mankind was great but I haven't got a closed beta pass and so I at least need something to hold me over until that or Pre-NGE becomes playable.
I prefer Sci-Fi and Cyberpunk themes as I've played billions of fantasty grindfests.
I will not play chibi MMO's
I will disregard anyone who suggests a browser based MMO (RS included)
I would rather not play a space MMO but I could be swayed on that point.
CS, GUNZ and any other game that runs through a million little matches =/= MMO
If asked I can TRY to make a list of all the MMO's I've played but otherwise I'm gonna go with the excuse that I'm too lazy
