Re: Looking for a MUD (tired of playing MMOs)
The challenge that I'm having in diagnosing your request is that you want an immersive world without grinding, but not RP-enforced. Most games that come to mind based on the majority of your requests would be level-less games and RPIs. However, I cannot think of a game that is immersive with a non-static world, has crafting, is anti-grind and is not RP Enforced or RP Intensive. Most RPIs allow for players to affect their world (even if it means burning down a village, etc), however they are always RP-focused.
If you were willing to take the learning curve and delve into RPIs or RPEs, I would suggest one of two major RPIs, Shadows of Isildur (Tolkien-themed) or Armageddon (Dune/Darksun-themed), or my own upcoming and anticipated release of Atonement (sci-fi/mystery-themed).
Otherwise, I'd suggest checking out 4Dimensions. If you don't mind a small playerbase, you'll at least find a really interesting gameworld there (with a lot of quests and puzzles) compared to other hack+slash style games.
If you want a lighter RP-focused game that allows for some player affect on the gameworld, you could also opt for NewWorlds or Threshold, though you would acquire levels as per most MMOs.
