I used to play WoW, but it bored me terribly after AQ40. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good MMORPG that is relatively easy to level in and has a strong end game. Player vs Player is nice but I would like to find a solid end game Player vs Environment MMO. Thanks for your time and suggestions.
EVE online is prolly the best for Player versus player in my opinion. but its a space mmo. not a typical fantasy style if you are going for that type. and you dont really level in that game...you can be effective from the start...theres a semi steep learning curve to the game so the community tends to be older and more relaxed people, less emo drama kids.
I heard Tabula Rasa is REALLY good...its also not fantasy style though.

Yeah, I used to play WoW. Lately I have been playing Guild Wars. The PvP element in it is a bit different in that to play it, you need a separate PvP-only character, which is created at max level. When you level, you get skill points which you can redistribute any time you're in a town.
Towns are like Hubs - when you're in a town, the other players are with you. When you're not in a town, you get your own private version of wherever you're playing (anyone in your party shares it), so no walking around and having a bored level 70 Alliance one-hit kill you and corpse-camp you. Stupid Alliance.
Also, you don't pick a race. You pick a class, and then pick a secondary class. I believe you can change the secondary later, but I don't know. Personally, I think that's much more interesting.
Oh. Best thing? No monthly fee. I'll probably sign up for the Stargate MMO when it comes out and forget about anything else. <3 stargate.

heh yeah I started drooling when i saw the Stargate MMO's site the first time. I agree on that one Daz
Personally, Im more for PvEnviroment so I look outside the box as it were, not neccisairly for something with graphics. I like one called Lands of Hope, browser based, but quite good. Good community and all.

I really want a game with a strong group endgame PvE.
I would second EVE online. The player structure there on the high end is pretty fantastic. If you like big battles, corporations can be several hundred members big, and 10 or so corporations can form into alliances. Thus, you can have up to 1000 people doing either PvP or PvE against space pirates and such.
15 day trial is free. Do it and just open up the map. It's pretty amazing.
I have found a really good text based MMRPG online. Its carnage blender 2. You basically hire a team and you just keep fighting and watch them grow. Well worth trying out.

You forgot your referral link ;) No point spreading the word about this great game if you don't get something out of it :)
endgame PVE in almost all other games are 2nd class compared to WoW man. you will pull your hair out with most other games that offer "Raiding" thats why i suggested EVE

I suggest WoW. AQ40 is old news... try Tempest Keep or Zul'Aman. End game has gotten WAY more intense and equally as expansive. Plus with the new expansion coming out soon raising the level cap to 80 and introducing new Hero Classes... the possibilities are endless.
WoW FTW. But obviously, never forget about CB2... or else.

I played in the expansion and did not like it after SSC. Raiding fell off and everyone did to much PvP. Additionally, all of the fights were the same. C'thun was the hight for me. The game lost a lot after that.

For anyone who quit WoW raiding prior to seeing the Black Temple... you are missing out. I've played other MMORPGs but the feeling of defeating Illidan was like none other. Zul'Aman was nice for what it is. Sunwell will be out with Patch 2.4 (www.wowwiki.com for more information). This is as good a time to pickup or restart WoW in my opinion.
