 I think I know what  I want for a game now. I'm looking for an MMO without the need to grind Over 9000 hours to actually be good at. Basically, what I'm asking for is...

 

- I don't want to spend hours trying to make money.

- I don't want to have max level to be good. 

- I don't want the grind to take forever. 

- I want a variety of things to do to break from the grind.

 

Overall, I just want a game that doesn't require Z0MG 1337 SKILLS AND OVER 9000 HOURS PLAYTIME to be able to do well. I've never managed to play any MMO for more than 3 months so I'm using this approach to finding a game.

You should take a look at the sims

Thats one way to put it. A roleplay community is a plus by the way, but not an absolute necessity.

Guild Wars doesn't take long to get stuff and is easy to level up.

 Something where it doesn't take you a month or two to reach level cap?

I have to say, there's not many MMOs where you can reach the level cap within a few weeks, unless you play HARDCORE. I dont think you're looking to play 12 hours a day either.

Variety is the spice of life, unfortunately, it's also the bane of balance.

If you don't want to comit time, something that pretty much defines MMOs maybe try FPSs?

Wow, so ArenaNet that develops GW are asians? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my deepest concepts have been shattered! Please, just don't say WoW is just another Asian game too, or my life will end.

 GW is the only game I know as of now that I can create a PvP character at maximum level from day one and go PvP. Just don't expect to one-shoot players in that game or to rule if you are too used to buttom-smashing as the game revolves around strategical play even before you enter the PvP as you have to plan ahead which skills you will take into PvP (or, for that matter, PvE too). And no, not even the GW developers are asians, so you have nothing to base that statement from, as if a game being Asian has to do with "it sucks" instantly, at least as long as it's not F2P you can't assume it follows the standard ;)

Your reasons not to play a game will cease to exist if you don't even have time to think about them - when the game is fun you don't give a crap about thinking if its grindy, lame, unpolished, etc.

GW's is almost the polar opposite of "an Asian game"

And the winner is... Freerealms, from sony online... That is the only game that fits your requirements...

Uhm, Guildwars is american, and it is made by the same dude who made Diablo and Warcraft 3. That doesn't mean that you must like it but the game is far from any asian MMO. It is a mix between a MMo and Diablo, and it is the only game currently without a lot of grinding.

As for a second suggestion I would have to say WAR. While it takes longer to reach max in it, it is a very good game for casual players that like PvP.

AoC might be worth a look too, it have more grind than the other 2 but nowhere near Wow.

glord, it sounds like COX is a game you would really like. It doesn't require farming/raiding to feel powerful and the people who do farm are only marginally better because it isn't a very item focused game. COX also has a very strong RP community compared to most MMos.

Hope it helps.
