Time consuming MMOG?

What are some MMOGs, other than Runescape, which take a long... long time to level?

Runescape's community is utterly revolting, and the graphics are quite the eyesore to anyone not living in a cave for the past 10 years, playing games from the 90s. However, I love the skill system. I love how it takes months and months on end to get to a high level with any given skill.

World of Warcraft is just ridiculously easy to level skills in. And with the recent patch to it, leveling your character is even easier. Anyone with money can get to the maximum skill level in every skill possible in less than a day.

Other than those two, I've never tried an MMOG. Any suggestions to get the best of both worlds? By the way, the community of ANY MMOG is going to be a joke, there's no getting around that, I know.

One I played was EVE. Not a bad game, but it was a slow paced one at the begining. You can get a trial on gamespot. The patches have improved the game since its release.

Lineage II is like rubbing your face on concrete, so if you're the type of person who enjoys that - go for it (basically your typical Korean MMO grind fest).

Eve is pretty much the game if you want something with more length to it; I guarentee you will never see cap. I'd say you should try out all the MMOs you can get free trials for (EQ2, Conan is doing frequent technical betas, LoTRO).

Yup, EVE. You won't be leveling any faster than others.

I'm troubled by your misanthropic Weltanschauung and by what appears to be a severe time-management capability dysfunction. But if you're independently wealthy and/or immortal, then by all means enjoy your peculiar taste in leisurely pursuits.
