The difficult is recommending one tat is not fantasy base oterwise I would definatly say EQ2, especially the crafting element. Eve is out I think despite it being a great game, Anarchy Online is good if not a little dated, City of Heroes could be fun to try especially as its quite cheap (and better than Champs online imo),.

Dont know any others that fit the bill that I have personally played but I would urge you to try EQ2 despite the pointy ears

He said that he wants fantasy, not sci-fi.

Classes. Utterly ridiculous. Just because your good at one thing does not mean you cannot be good at another. Stupidest Idea EVER.

Especially the restrictions.  Like how one class is unable to hold a certain weapon which is so ridiculously unrealistic.

Beta.
Tested by the public.

Alpha
tested  internally.

From getting your panties in a bunch because SV wouldn't let you set up the beta forums, to leaking beta videos and getting banned from the official forums, and now steadilly trolling as much negativety as you can.
You've really turned into a hell of a douchebag.

"Beta level software generally includes all features, but may also include known issues and bugs of a less serious variety."

My special edition was only $98.  I don't know where you're getting $100+ from.

Maple Story is a pretty successful MMO that I wouldn't classify as a "WoW Clone."

Kind of off topic but I was told that Dragon Age: Origins was like a fantasy style Mass Effect.  After I installed it and found out it didn't have real-time aiming like Mass Effect, I was severely disapointed.

You can run while autoattacking with a bow!!!

After all, aspartame gives you brain tumors.

I'm having tons of fun playing HoN. It da best.

Tennis For Two

The first video game ever.

Right now 99% of mmo are absolute garbage (Not going to argue this point ).  There is WoW  then everything else is an absolute waste of time, and wow itself is not a good game compared to games from any real game genra.  WoW (or any mmo) can't hold a candle to games like Fallout 3, prototype, infamous, Orange Box, fable II, mass effect, etc. 

The solution is simply make better games, and it will happen.  over the next 5 years we will  see  mmos that keeps updated with latest game engines, keep up with graphic "generation's" , updates it lore monthly, has live events multiple times a week, and most importantly removes level/gear progression in favor of achievements/ titles/tabards/ and style based progression (like xbox did and many others have ripped off).  A truelly great game doesn't need gear/level progression to keep players hooked and game like wow that do are not good games. 

Fable 2 LOLOL

I stopped reading there because that game is so bad, I mean you can't even jump.

You can at least jump in WoW, therefore it is a better game.

A big part of Fallout 3 is instanced though.

I can fly across the F3 wastelands in 10 mins with my jetpack anyway.

ReBoot was a pretty awesome show though.

If you played as a cat instead of a human I would play no doubt.

Sims 3 ftw

Limit went away over a week ago, and by flawlessly I mean things are getting fixed very quick and devs are awesome.

MO will reverse Darkfall's effect and make the genre explode with popularity, you are wrong sir.

 

At the moment MO is not fairing to well, so far the beta is actually performing worse than the DF beta was. We shall see though.

As for the topic, Darkfall will not hurt anything. Eve is still a good example of a well received sandbox PVP game, and with time DF has a chance to redeem itself if they go about it correctly.

Beta is going flawlessly, stop trolling and go play Darkfall.
