Looking for some advice on choosing a MMORPG

Hi, i'm new to the forums but i have seen many topics like this around, and i hope you help me too. Te features im looking for are these:

-Action RPG, i dont want just numbers and strategy to decide combat, but also my own reflexes and skills. This implies full control of the character, no "click on stuff" thingy. Something like The Elder Scrolls or Gothic, but online.

-No monthy fee. Ill pay for the game (buy it) if neccesary, but im not going to do it every month (not only for the money, i hate online transactions). If there are free private servers, i dont care going unoffcial.

-Nice graphics. Not last generation required, but they must look good and be functional.

-Since im from Spain, it would be also a good thing if the game has servers in Europe.

As you see, im not much a hardcore RPG player. Thank you all in advance.

    1: Not so sure, you mean more FPS style? If so there's planetside and SWG but they're both run by $OE so I would avoid them.

    2: Guild Wars sounds like your cup of Tea here, but AO and Shadowbane are free.

    3: Guild Wars fits the bill here too.

    4: not sure where the GW server is situated, I know the EVE server is in London.

    In all I think Guild Wars might be a good game, but give all the free ones a shot first and there's loads of free trials knocking about.

    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

    GW have data farms all over the world but due to their natural there is no WoW style server system.  The Europe Datacenter is in germany however for each instance you enter the game hosts you on the best datacenter be it in europe or korea or any number of places.

    I live in the UK and play GW. It has EU servers with plenty of people on them.

    In answer to your question for a game, i would say GW.

    -It has no monthly fee

    -It requires skill to play, not time invested into grinding

    -It has EU servers which are largely populated

    -Great graphics

    -It suits casual players aswell as hardcore MMO players. You can just go on for 10minutes and have a blast or play for hours and still have just as much fun.

    I'd suggest Shadowbane too.
    Well, you have nothing to loose here: It's free to download, and it's free to play. The game is centered around PvP though, and it's Free For All. Want to find out more about it? Look at http://chronicle.ubi.com/
