Looking for-
F2P
Fantasy
no rediculously priced cash shop, cash shop in general is fine just not so high that it raises in game economy drastically
option to click on map and run automatically to that location, and/or an autofollow option
Many quests with decent experience (minimal mindless grinding, don't mind doing it for a quest)
english speaking and decently behaved GM / Moderators
decent 3D graphics, very few recycled graphics
active economy
a class similar to wizard
pets and mounts preferred
no turn based mmorpgs, no controlling several character games
pvp is ok, as long as there is a turn on/off pk mode option
Already Tried-
Talisman Online- ( poor support, ever increasing cost of cash shop items, bad pk system)
Perfect World International (rediculous cash shop, allowing gold sellers to trash economy)
Dream of Mirror Online (menial and recycled graphics)
RO (free servers, poor support and menial graphics)
Runes of Magic (impermenant mounts and pets, thus overpriced unfair cash shop)
Comments
Most of the features you want can be found seperately in F2P MMos, but to get all of that together you will have to go to a P2P MMO. I suggest you stick with Runes of Magic or trim down the majority of your requirements. Their cash shop is pretty fair considering nothing is required or unbalances the game unlike a lot of others out there. They have permanent mounts in their cash shop and if I remember right it was around $20 for it.

May i suggest Sword of the new World. A great system, amazing graphics, good comunity and storyline as well as weekly updates/ patches. It may seem hard at first to control 3 characters at the same time... althought players will agree with me that the spacebar as helped them a lot in the process.
Quartz 2.0, bonne chance
It looks like you had a bad experience with Atlantica Online o.O
Anyway, I'd have to vote Sword Of The New World (Granado Espada) too. It's a really great game, even though doesn't meet ALL your requirements, you can still really enjoy it. I know you don't want a game to control several characters but in this game is just feels like you're playing 1 character.
Otherwise you could always try Eudemons or Chaos Online, though I'm not a huge fan of these games but these might be your only options unless you drop some requirements as you are simply asking to stop playing MMOs and go outside instead :þ
OK, dropping most of requirements. How about games that fit these-
Free to Play
Tradeable cash shop items
autofollow
benefit to partying
The only F2P MMO I know of where you get an actual benefit while grouping is Atlantica Online. You can give the MMOs that MadnessRealm suggests in this other thread a go, but don't expect them to be anything amazing. I'm looking for a very group oriented game. F2P and group oriented don't go together.
