Ever wanted to piss the codexers off by asking something which've been asked thousands times already? Thie is the thread for you.

I want a MMO, because reasons. Last one I tried has been Rift today, a disgusting experience.
I wish for something huge, complex, with tons of stuff to do and try. Customizability galore. Something which should keep me busy for hours. I want to be submerged by skills, equipment, numbers... Eve, Guild Wars and Atlantica come to mind, but I've played them to death already.
The grind is not a problem if the game is as deep as Atlantica or as fun as Tabula Rasa.
Money could be one, if its system is retarded like SWTOR's. The same SWOTOR could almost qualify, because its boring fights and few skills are balanced by the ship, its loadout and crew, many related activities and stuff. Almost. But "pay for every little shit you could think of" kills it. Also EA.
Also Defiance almost qualifies, even if it's definitely not a deep game it's fast and furious and has one of the best gunporns I've ever seen.
Unfortunately, I've extensively played The Secret World, Star Trek and Neverwinter already.

Is there something which could entertain me anymore?

Lost Ark and Chroma are both coming up. Skyforge looks interesting. EVE is supposedly awesome, but I don't want to get sucked into an amazing game with monthly fees, that drains my time from work and other issues. I am also interested in how Jagged Alliance Online and Shadowrun Online turned out, if somebody has a clue fairy to whisper in my left ear. :)

Sounds like you have a taste for sci-fi - in that case I recommend Star Wars Galaxies. Still one of the best sci-fi sandboxes ever made - nothing else has come close. You'll have to use the unofficial emulated servers as the official ones are gone forever. Look up SWGEmu.

I've heard good things about Ascent - the space game but haven't played it yet. Is 270,000,000,000 star systems to explore enough to keep you busy? :)

I read about a MMO where you could participate in a courtroom or smth.

Anyone remembers the name of it?
