Nonlinear MMORPG from the last 5-6 years?

What are some good nonlinear games?  I don't care about any of the other features, I'm strictly looking for nonlinear gameplay.  The ones that immediately come to mind are Darkfall UW, Mortal Online and Eve.  I'm curious to see if there are any others though.

I guess another way to put it would be that I'm looking for a game that's not just quest hub to quest hub.

Dofus has tutorial quests in the 2 starter areas, but they're optional, and it pretty much doesn't have any quests after that.  It's probably older than 5 years but it's still going strong.

"From the last 5-6 years" meaning live and actively developed within that time?

Vendetta Online.

None, other than the ones you listed.  GW2 offered a bit more freedom to go and do what you wanted to do...but it was still heavily streamlined.  I too am done with quest hubs or any required quest grinder.  There does look to be some hope for a few games being released in the next couple years,  that may edge away from this tired formula.

I mean games that were released in the last 5-6 years.  I'm trying to stay away from super old games.

I see. I guess I was thrown off that Eve was on your list.

Haha, I figured someone would recommend it anyway so I named it in my first post to get it out of the way.
