What MMO should I play while I wait for AoC?

Like most of you, I'm waiting for AoC.
I have not played an MMO in sooooooo long but I need to get my fix until AoC comes out, so what do you all recon I play until then. I've grown tired of the old MMOs, but everything else is boring me also. I figured a good recommendation can turn me in the right direction.
I like fantasy, nothing too futuristic, a nice leveling system, and some dope scenery to look at.

Just don't expect to be competitive in pvp in forever amount of time as you will never catch up.
It is overwhelming at first, there is so much to do. The graphics are well done and the combat is fun.
If you do get sucked in and want to spend money I'd like to remind you, you will never catch up even if you dumped in $5000.
Once you try and play the catch up game it turns into a chore and you will burn out everyone does but it is good enough that many players will go back and try again. Anything but the PvP gets boring but I will find that with any game. I like a gear carrot just as anyone else but the road has to be entertaining.
I'd take it on the approach not to min max and don't spend your time grinding because you are playing casually not trying to catch up. The PvE is mind numbingly boring as the AI is really basic.
Casually gear up through the main quest line it will take you to all corners of the world. Dabble in some of the life skills. Check out all the world bosses. plenty of content for $13. You can PvP with trial characters in an arena most players who hang out there will switch to a trial to accommodate you.
Play what ever the newest class is if you want to play something brokenly OP.
Tamer, Ninja, Sorc and Warrior become busted in pvp once you break 250 frames. due to animation cancels being client side.
I would 100% be playing if I could make as much PvPing as I could doing AFK life skills. Let that sink in you can make more AFK than actively playing...
They're couple of days from a major patch that will streamline the previous expansions, and remove 30% of unnecessary quests, so you'll reach end-game sooner.
Maybe you can see if any of these fit your momentary needs until you can access to AOC.

While not an MMORPG, some of the multiplayer servers share all the same features of an MMORPG except for population size. But that's okay because the servers are usually smaller so you won't feel lonely. Some servers are very active. Roleplay is huge in some servers, and some focus on PVP. If you like d&d it's worth a shot.
