From the current batch of worthwhile MMORPG's i would definately recommend DAOC too..
Like most other MMORPGs it is a nasty timerobber, and levelling can be an extremely boring activity, but it DOES have some worthwhile PvP that makes it accebtable.
Some of my pet peeves in MMORPGs are Level based systems, crowdcontrol in the form of mezz, roots, stuns etc. I hate these things with a passion...all are in DAOC and i stillplay it almost daily
Stay clear of SWG...way way clear....that game is BAD and extremely boring to boot.
