And Lineage 2 is the usual dark elves etc. stuff.

I used to play tons of MMO, freeware Conquest being prolly the one I played the most, then got bored to the endless grinding (IIRC, the game was capped to lvl130 with additional 130lvls if you wanted to reborn once you capped).

Then had a break for few years and now playing Warhammer Online, which, IMO, is GREAT! Mostly because it eliminates the need to grind. Of course, you can do it if you want to, but it isnt good for leveling because in WAR, there's 2 ranks. One is the normal rank you gain by experience and the other one is called Renown Rank, which you can only gain by getting renown experience in PvP battles. The Renown Rank pretty much tells you how good gear you can use, some gear have both ranks as requirements, some only have a RR requirement.

Also, there is a 3rd bar you can fill up, the influence bar. On every chapter there is 2 bars of this kind, the public quest influence bar that is filled by doing public quest. And then there is tier influence bar, which is filled by doing PvP.

The tier influence bar and the Renown Rank are two things that makes grinding useless, as you can rank sure by grinding, but you cant get the gear from the RR and the rewards from tier influence (the rewards being very good gear).

This is why I think WAR is better than the rest I've played. Cant wait to see how it is year from now.

If you want to know more about WAR, check these interviews of the Paul Barnett himself:

Pt.1 (check the rest from the play menu thingy)

And here's Paul Barnett telling about the quests of WAR:
