I'd suggest playing something other than the equivalent of the
Hollywood blockbuster. There are dozens if not hundreds of MMORPGs
out there and the variety of gameplay is very large. Compare:

  Everquest
  A Tale In The Desert
  Achaea (blows his own horn, sorry)
  Shadowbane
  Neopets
  Habbo Hotel
  Furcadia
  Puzzle Pirates
  etc.
