Phantom, there is a good thread going on over at FoH about what makes a good MMO, I think you really should read it since I suspect you missed out on the golden age of MMOs and do not understand.

There's a lot to be said for this. I don't know exactly how it would work, but I played EQ starting a few months after launch and quit about a month into SoL. In that time (about 3 years), I never had a max level character (max was 58 or 59 I think, with cap being 60). Not a single one. But with that said, it was by far the most enjoyable. Despite not being max level, I also was able to do end game content (Plane of Fear/Hate, NToV, etc).
I'm currently playing TERA and I was max level in a week. At this point, I log on to do daily quests and every once in a while run a dungeon. But for the most part I'm bored.
I can't put my finger on why exactly I was so satisfied never grinding out to max level in EQ, but for some reason it worked.
