I have played WoW, AoC and WAR and none of them have grabbed my attention.
I was looking at everquest 2 but don't know if i should try it out or not.
Anyone have an idea of an MMO they could recommend?

If none of those are grabbing your attention, then its doubtful anything will. I suggest trying games besides MMOs for enjoyment. Or I hear going outside is fun, though I wouldnt know :P
Currently restarting World of Warcraft
haha trust me im usually always outside. I just play MMO's for fun. But no i would hate to play RoM
A good MMORPG for fast paced gameplay, fast travel (very fast), and grouping with others, is City of Villains/City of heroes.
And they are about to come out with the latest update which will give the players the ability to create missions (instances).
Small but stable population.
Yeah, nothing really remarkably different than AoC/WoW/Warhammer are out or are coming out soon. I suggest if you are looking for some video games to fill time for the price of a MMO subscription buy a console and grab a subscription to gamefly.com. Check out the MMO market in late 2009 and 2010 - lots of promising new games coming out then. RoM probably won't interest you if WoW didn't, since it's basically a free version of WoW (similar UI/similar combat/similar graphics/similar gameplay). GTA IV multiplayer can feel like a MMO environment with enough friends so check that out if you need a multiplayer fix.
It might help if you had some idea of what you liked. You make it sound like you played the games so briefly as to not even know why you didn't like them.
But in lieu of that, I'll say go play Guild Wars, since it is the best game on the market.
It's tough, right now. If fantasy is your style, and those three games aren't appealing to you, I'd sit out the MMO world, at least for the next half year. By that time games such as Aion and Mortal Online should be out there. EQ2 will just be more of the same for you. If you want to get out of the elves and orcs monotony, there are some promising ideas coming out in the next year, such as Fallen Earth, Global Agenda and The Agency. If you want to head for deep space, EVE Online is well established and polished, and Star Trek Online and Jumpgate Evolution will be out in the next year.
In the meantime, as mentioned above, maybe get a console and try those games out. The problem with most MMOs that you don't have with rpgs(or most good games) on a console, to me, is that they aren't as polished or complete-feeling as, say, the newest FF is. Most MMO releases have fallen back on online updates as a crutch for shoddy releases, instead of releasing a game that works well. I know MMOs evolve over time, but I feel like they have the development of an 8-year old when they come out.
In short, either way you should give it 6 months before you shell out that $15 a month for a game.
Mortal Online just opened up beta signups today. Set to release in June.
They will also have an open beta soon so I would say you should definatly check it out.
They just came out with a new in game video to show you some aspects of the game. This game is using the Unreal Engine and a whole bunch of top of the line game developer tools. Made by a professional and totally competant company.
You can even login to their IRC chatroom and talk to them yourself.
Definatly a game to checkout.
Hope this helps. See you over in the MO community maybe. My name is Ritual over there. Check out our guild FreeCaste as well we are recruiting,
Give Runes of Magic a try. F2P (sort of) and quite fun if you chose one of the PVP servers. PVP like WOW should have had IMO.

Well you can doubt no more! Personally, WoW, AoC, and WAR (especially WAR), never caught my attention but I LOVE LoTRO. So yea.. you always have that option. www.lotro.com/trial
What are you looking for in a mmo?
Your personal taste and what you find the most fun in a mmo also dictates which mmo you should try out.
