Decent MMORPGs?

I dont see Tera, Rift, or Swtor being anything amazing, ever really. Rift pretty much IS WoW but with less areas to visit, Tera seems very grind-heavy and more of the same, and Swtor is barely an MMO at all. So many zones and instancing, felt like Kotor 3 but with a thin facade of MMO features shittily interjected wherever they could squeeze them in. Zones are linear as fuck and the stories arent anything special. At least for the classes I played (Jedi Consular, Smuggler)

I would try out Shaiya. It's free, and the upgrades you can pay cash for are optional. They're mainly for higher level toons and for PVP. It can get kind of grind-heavy with the higher level toons and the more solo classes, but that, I think, is pretty much standard.
