Looking For Something More...

Alright.. I've been playing Runescape for the past 3 years. I've done about everything rewarding and fun in the game, and basically got all my skills to the point that they would take months to perfect (each). Now I'm bored with it and I'm looking for a different game. I bought Guild Wars and didn't really like it. I didn't like that: combat is the whole game, there isn't really much to do except quests, and you can't play it solo. Some people have told me to get WoW but I don't know if I'd like that any more than Gwars. I really don't know what game would be good for me. Any suggestions are appreciated.

PvP or PvE centric
Loot or crafted for best weapons
LvlL or skill based
Any heavy turn offs?
the more you can give us the better of a suggestion we can give you.
1. PvE
2. Crafted
3. Skill
Turn offs:
-The whole game depending on whether your Guild/friends are online or not. (I want a game that you can solo a lot of it)
-Games where you must follow the storyline.
Also.. I like challenging games.. not like Gwars where you can reach the level cap within a week.
Wow certainly isn't a good choice then.
Try Saga of Ryzom.
Anarchy Online MAY be worth looking into. PVE centric, a significant portion, but not all of the best gear is crafted, and the skills you invest in are more important than your level as a general rule.
If you have a level 150 going up against a 25 its still a blowout, but I regularly hunt down mobs significantly higher than my own level, because ive invested in certain skills that allow me to solo exceptionally well, even though my profession tends to be a team support character.
You can solo all the way up if you wish, and teams are generally easy to gather if you do want one.
There is an immersive storyline, but it stays in the background. You can do anything, at any time
It is definately challenging. It has a high learning curve, and usually its a matter of years before people get to the max level (220)
Other good points: mature community, a massive world, and arguably the #1 ingame customer service team anywhere
warning, the 3D graphic and animation models are five years old now, even though they were exceptionally good quality on release. Since youve played Runescape for three years, I doubt it will phase you one bit, but still.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

FFXI kinda sounds like your game, apart from you wanting to solo.
the game has many quests to do and a storyline you have to follow.
It's a social game that relies on Parying..meh..just a thaught

party-centric. You spend hours doing nothing but sitting, waiting to be
invited to a group.
