Allods Online is A LOT like WoW, and it's free. You can even be "alliance" or "horde" (they are called something different). The grahpics are even better then WoW's graphics.

Take a look at BATMUD. Its a totally free multiuser online FANTASY game which has been created way back in 1990. It is an old game with a long history.
My history with the game starts back in 2001. I started as a giant barbarian and soloed mostly exp and gold to buy better equipment. I bought nice SABLE axes from other players who had gotten them by killing some monsters. After a while I got bored with soloing and started partying with other players. I realized I could gain much more knowledge about the game that way and gather experience more rapidly. I got to know some other players too and partyed regularly with mostly the same people.
Barbarian guild mostly involved stunning enemies with battlecries, then hammering them to death and then burning their corpse for reputation. There were some cool events in which you fought either other players or monsters, but still I got fed up with it and wanted to test some other types of reincs(reincarnations). Reincing in Batmud means that you re-recreate your character from start and you can basically pick different background, race, levels, stats and guilds. You still keep your experience, equipment, name, castle and ship etc...
I tested partying as a mage. It was mostly about being in party's backrow and casting protection spells and offensive blasts at the monsters. Then tested being a healer which was about the same except instead of blasting monsters, you healed other players. Tried being a merchant too... Merchants can provide many services to other players, I tried making chests. First I logged wood from the Batmud's forests to make the chest. Then had to mine minerals to make a lock for the chest. I made few of them and sold them, then thought that I again need a change.
I had always liked soloing, so I thought my next reinc needs to be one where I can solo, party for exp, party for equipment(you kill big monsters which give you nice equipment) and cast spells. Do everything so to speak! For this I picked an undead skeleton caster-tank, where for my tanking abilities relied on to the newly created knights guild which allowed me to use all types of weapons and best of all: mounts. Soon I was riding bears, drakes and griffons to battle. For the casting side I picked bards guild which is a guild which can cast spells which give bonuses for the whole party. Bards work nicely in equipment parties and also in exp parties and soloing too, since they can replenish your hit points and endurance. Thats why knight-bard reinc has been my favourite for the last few years...
During the past few years I've also started to socialize a bit more with other players. I have met(though briefly) several hundreds of them in player conventions. It's very funny too meet somebody in real life you have known for years in the game.
Starting playing Batmud is much more easyer nowadays, because the game now offers a java client which you can use to play the game. Batclient, as they call it, gives you all the necessary features. I recommend Batmud for everybody.
