Which MMO?

Finally got around to sorting out my recurring bills:
Final Fantasy XI: Cancelled in 2005, I miss the Taru Tarus and the Mogs, but I never liked the combat. My first exposure to "buffs", "mobs" and other such wankmongery.
World of Warcraft: Cancelled. Never got beyond L30, haven't played for six months, a mate now using my account (six months still on it). Always needed a piss half way through the instances.
City of Villians: Cancelled. Flying around in my pants was curiously not as much fun as I thought it would be, haven't played for a month. Everyone seemed to be vastly superior, missions were dull and repetitive.
Guild Wars: Urm, never worked out how to contact 5punkers in-game, so never even saw the guild hall, got stuck fighting Charr in Ascalon and got wanked off with the lack of variation in the scenery.
Second Shite: Haven't paid. First impressions are not good. My greeter seemed to think I should consider myself fortunate to achieve the blistering frame rate of 9fps. It looks like high-end 3D graphics...from the 80's.
Dungeons and Dragons Online: Not subscribed. Played the seven day trial...for two days. I believe it's actually laggier than Second Shite, which is a remarkable achievement. Died four times during the tutorial, it's more like a first-person boxing game than an RPG.
Eve Online: Continuing subscription. Actually considering a second account. Perhaps not even the best game listed here, it does have originality though, and even though you are an infinitesimally small cog in a vast universe you can still do your thing your way. Another big factor is the welcome you get from 5punkcorp, I think I would have been discouraged long ago if it wasn't for them.
