I'd be a cuttlefish.

My setup with my lovely kitty.

Hi everybody!!

What has been seen can not be unseen! AHHH!!!

Still waiting on Enigma's  /poke Enigma

I had posted something like this under Site Suggestions a few months back. The second post in the thread explains why it wouldn't be possible. Post Ratings and...

Everyone has their own standards and while yours may be rather high that doesn't make you an ass. What would make you an ass is if you didn't make it clear to her that you and her could only ever be booty buddies before doing the deed. However if she asks why and you tell her it's because of her physical appearance... well you're more than likely going to lose your free ride.

Yeah you can post pictures here, but you can't link them from imgshack. Photobucket works best. Just click on the little yellowish square mountain image that say Insert/Edit Image and add the http link.

I highly doubt many people will be posting here, but I'll encourage it:

You've already tried a good bit of the PvE MMOs that you can solo in. The only ones I didn't see you mention is Lineage II, Vanguard, and Star Wars Galaxies. If you don't mind open PvP then there's EVE Online also, but I think the other ones I suggested might fit better.

These threads are somewhat old, but they do suggest what you're looking for:

LF Hack 'n' Slash MMO

looking for diablo style hack n slash

... or you can check out the thread at the top of the forum and do a find in the page for Diablo:

FREE MMORPG / MMOG LIST

Luminary: Rise of the GoonZu  is the one I was thinking of, but it wasn't developed by Russians.

Your best bet would be to check Astrum Online Entertainment and see if anything rings a bell if others can't find it.

Of course these games won't be exactly like Travian, but they will be closer than some of the others mentioned. These are listed in order with the top being a better match than the last one mentioned:

Ikariam - Comment found here "Those looking for an alternative to Travian’s aggression would do well to check out Ikariam (www.ikariam.org). Although Travian definitely is more mature (and this is reflected by the myriad of well-designed greasemonkey scripts available), Ikariam seems to be much more supportive of a trade-oriented style of play. I’ve been playing for 3 months now, have never attacked another player and still find myself ranked in the top 25% on the s12 server."

Tribal Wars - Very similar, but faster.

Artifact

Rivality

and of course the original Warcraft and Starcraft series.

from what I have read.. this is my biggest worry.. It looks like I would enjoy EQ2 more.. but I dont wantit to barren... I will have a friend to play with throughout the whole time I play tho..

on the most populated server does it still feel dead until lvl max?

Check out these threads on the EQ II forums:

Casual player looking into EQ II

Quit WoW after 3 years, thinking about EQ2

Just like the suggestions on the forums... make a toon around the time you play, pick a server, and check out its population before commiting to one server.

The only western MMO I know is browser based. The West and you can check out a brief review on MMOHub.

If you don't like the other responses check out this link MMO Strategy Games and yes all mentioned are free.

World of Warcraft is the easy choice. Millions of players, lots of raid and dungeon content, PvP can be found in arena duels, battlegrounds, and the latest outdoor Wintergrasp arena. Great for someone starting into MMOs and players who play a few hours a day can progress easily.

If that doesn't float your boat or you have played it already make sure to list the games you have played and any other specifics.

Here's a thread listing what FFXI offers: List of things to do in FFXI

WoW is definitely an item grind, but that is not the only thing to do at end game. That game offers a lot of options which is one of the reasons why it is so popular. If you don't mind a good bit of a learning curve you may want to look into is EVE Online as it offers a good bit also.

You're going to have to be more specific on what you enjoy when it comes to game play. For example the type of PvP and/or PvE, open world or instanced, solo or group oriented, graphic preference, and anything else you find important. If I suggest something now off of the limited information you gave I would be suggesting something I enjoy to be fun and that isn't necessarily what you would enjoy.

There are not many recent reviews for ROSE Online, but you can check these out: Tried it, not bad... or MMOHub Review

In my opinion there are no F2P group oriented MMOs. Your best bet would have been Atlantica Online, but you've already played it. 4Story is your last option and the only reason you'd want to group is because it's somewhat hard to solo as a support class. You may want to give Runes of Magic a shot also, but once again it isn't that group oriented and if you don't like WoW then you won't like this game.

For crafting check out this thread: Best crafting in an MMO?

For a mature community I suggest staying away from any game with cutsey graphics. Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online was pretty good. However it does not fit a few other things you wanted. 4Story's community wasn't that bad either.

Unless you join a server from another region I doubt you will find lots of people who play at night during your time. Also the third post in the first link I gave said the highest population for a PvP server is Tyranny. Here's another thread that talks about PvE, PvP, and English European servers: Server recommendations

Edit Add: Another thread for you specifically asking about PvP servers - PvP Server
