Is there any MMORPG That can Quench MY Thirst? This is for everyone.

I've been in the mmorpg scene for a while now .. 5+ years dont really remember when I started .. anyway
I've been hopping games ever since the only one I really stuck to but got repetitive after a few years and quit for months at a time .. heh WoW. But now i'm at the point Where.. jeez. There really is nothing. I've played a ton of mmo's and blew a ton of money on them.. example of the one out of thousands of games i've tried.. Warhammer. Bought the CE and the Prima Guide, Now sits in my rooms useless as ever. 200$ Down the Drain.. Before I was comfortable money wise. Now it's the near-depression I can't afford to keep throwing money down the drain.
There is no game that can quench my thirst. nor have I heard of a mmorpg that will do so.
I want a game that supports player housing, tons of furniture, interactive furniture.. etc.. open opportunity for friends/guild/squad/clan/team mates etc etc to just come over have a sit and hang out instead of a city -.-
Iwant a game where PVP isn't Completely broken.. such as.. If i'm A Melee class and I go after B caster class I have the abilities to address the situation as he/she does too. i.e Who has more skill? Not who is the counter and who's more OP.
I want a game that doesn't 100% Revolve around quests.. Quests were a great idea but come on MMO Creators use your noggin's. Create something Else.. Level Skills (farming or herding there's millions of things) for Real Levels.. Events I can give a bunch of ideas on what to do -.-
I want a game that takes medevil / Sci-fi either or.. or both! in a GOOD direction. Everquest had a great idea. 20+ Classes. Tons of abilities armor weapons a bunch of stuff for one class but obviously lacked ideas. =/
I want a game that has more to combat than.. swing.. melee.. cast/shoot for ranged. There's no LIMIT to the human mind.. come up with something better.. Magic Arrows? What about mages who use their powers to powerup their weapons or a bow and arrow character who uses alchemic concoctions to .. do things. etc
I want a game with a huge open world, go where I want do what I want not follow some boring quest / story line.
If I make a character that's a Holy Knight and Kill some Civilians and do some Evil stuff Eventually my class Should convert to a (use your own creativity) Evil Knight.. etc etc. My Skills should change color or Change Completely and get more evil moves.. Or both!
I want a game where ANY class Can WEAR whatever they WANT.. Just because some guy said magicians only wear cloth doesn't mean anything. What if he wants to wear plate or chain mail and wield a magical sword or axe etc etc instead of a staff or a lil wand. He's a magician He can teleport or still move Freely as he wishes. So he becomes slower.. Can use a power to speed up.. just saying.. use your imagination
This is just a handful of things I'd expect to see from some company who has half a brain to create something people want. These mmo's go Under development for years and yet they come out with None of this? Like Seriously?
If I ever get the chance to produce an mmorpg, there would be no doubt in my mind that it would be the best MMORPG in history.
Anyway I've got millions upon millions of ideas I could type out but I already indulged you in a Wall of text. Thanks for reading. Let me know your opinions too!

well you say you want either fantasy or scify, but you only give fantasy examples.
well if you do wanna try scyfy then I would suggest eve online (internet spaceships ftw!). it has no classes or quests or XP bars. it uses a skill system. if you wanna fly a frigate, you need to train frigate to lvl 1 for example, and that will take 5 minutes. for every lvl you train you get better bonuses, bu to train it from lvl 4 to lvl 5 it will take 7 days. you don't have to be loged in, you can shut down your PC, and your skills will train. at first skills can take a few minutes to a few hours, and for bigger ships it can take a month or two.
so you don't actually have to be there to progress, meaning you can do other stuff as well.
and since this is the progression system there are no quests are XP bars.
admittedly this system is not for everyone, some like being rewarded for their hard work, on the other hand, some hate grinds and just love this system.
the game has the best PVP ever. I mean 1000 player fleet fights are just awesome.
so yeah, its something different like you were asking for, but I think it wont work for you because atm you cant get out of your ship and walk around the stations. you can just fly different ships, and pvp in them or do industry or whatever, but you cant get out and walk as an avatar.
there is an expansion coming out at the end of this year which will allow you to do that though. I know a few people who have decided to wait until it comes out, because not being able to see their avatar walking and doing stuff in bars and so on was a deal breaker for them.

EVE or Darkfall.
There's this new fangled Forsaken World
Don't know if it's got housing, but it's got fantasy with elves, a little tech with Dwarfs, giants and frikkin' Vampires.
Boasts PVP and crafting and is currently signing up for Beta, impending release. It's done by Perfect World and will be a F2P.

DAoC has a nice mix of PvE and RvR imo. I would like to see an updated version of that game (with a number of changes ofc).
Housing is nice, RvR is great and even the PvE is ok. Too bad it's dated in more ways than one but I'd definately try DAoC 2 if there ever is one.
Tried: Most MMO's, Playing: EQ2
EVE doesn't really have the kind of housing the OP seems to have in mind. I mean I guess an outpost would do some of what he wants, but that's a p. big project for a new player to do. Plus it will get taken from him in a few days unless he's part of an alliance.
Maybe when Incarna goes live, that would change things. But until then... eh.
Still, there's a 14-day free trial and it would at least be different from the other games he's tried.
Give me liberty or give me lasers
