The best shooter is BF2 mod: Project Reality imo.

I have yet to find a more challenging, realistic shooter.
and it's free! (the mod)

(bf2 costs like 9 bucks now, or get from the bay of pirates)

The mod says it all, it's a mod to make the most realistic shooter ever, and imo they succeeded over any other game.
Very tough, and servers are always full.

Should check it out!!

-Strength of a player is determined by their skill choices (e.g., Tactics, Fencing, Swordsmanship, etc...), not by their level or their gear

why not play team fortress 2 or league of legends or something...

sounds like you want your jollies cheap and easy, don't want to have to grind for em

Except I don't want my "jollies" to be "cheap and easy" and if you had fully understood the nature of my original question, you would've realized that. Or did you honestly think a game like Ultima Online had no grinds in it what so ever, that you start with your 700 skill points all spent right at character creation?

Besides, I already play LoL and I don't intend to ever touch Hat Fortress 2 or any other Valve product after what they did to the L4D franchise, but that is neither here nor there.

I appreciate that some people gave some actual suggestions for Sandbox type MMOs to look at, instead of taking something out of context in an attempt to flame-bait, so I'll be checking those out.

Acquiring a bunch of skills over time is essentially the same thing as levelling; a character with 100 different abilities is going to be more powerful than one with just 10. So what? You don't want levels in the sense of the default progress from 1 to 100 but instead in the sense that you gain more skills or get stronger via gaining experience? What's the difference?

You want a game where player skill makes the largest different between someone who has been playing a day and someone who has been playing a year? Not going to happen in an MMORPG.

play a different genre.

this game http://www.firefallthegame.com/ might be right up your alley.

Trust me you and your friends will not last a day playing UO trololol

Except one of my friends IS a UO vet who originally recommended it, but the rest of us can't stand the old graphics and, even he agreed, how the game was ruined in a later expansion.

Stop with the assumptions, I'm tired of reading them.

Just play an FPS. MMOs aren't known for involving skill.
