1.) I am WoW'd out, the big plus of that game was interface and I loved the way you controlled your avatar. I hated the graphics, not the quality but just how out of proportion things were.(no one is wearing armor or using weapons that out of scale and I wasn't a big fan of the lore. (don't like guns and robots in my fantasy games)

2.) Already hit LOTRO, it was fun for a bit, but I am done with it.

So, with that said what I'd like is a fantasy mmo, with a smooth interface, realistic graphics, a nice selection of classes and races, reasonably challenging pve and faction based pvp and lore I find interesting. Alganon looks promising, but going to wait for their first expansion before I play. I considered FE, but the fps style combat won't work for me, terrible at fps games, and that was the only non fantasy mmo I was considering.  Anyways, I thank you in advance for your suggestions.

  AION seems to made for you!

Aion, as Coman said, or Age of Conan.

I shy away from Asian mmos; fear of super grindiness. I know all mmos have a grind, but I have heard that Asian games tend to be beyond excessive in this regard.

It really isnt that grindy and the game isnt asian, it was made for a worldwide audience.

Try the games for yourself before you go on believing other people. and what they say.  Your taste differs greatly when compared to other people.  Just because a few people have told you that something is "grindy" might not feel that way to you.

In any case, some suggestions for you would be Age of Conan, Aion, and if you're willing to step back a generation Dark Age of Camelot... though I don't think you'll find it all that appealing.  My only advice is to go out and try things for yourself.  I think quite a few of the games come with free trials so at least give those a shot.

I am not going to go into the "why you should" speech,just download this trail and make your own mind up. You will hear all kinds of comments about this game in these forums,just make your own mind up.

It cost nothing to uninstall or install...
