Sounds like you would have liked Lusternia, maybe.

At least, I think it was Lusternia. Umm, player run economy. Everything was done by players, from material collection to making parts, to putting the parts together.

Crafting was more like combat than usual.

I wonder what happened to it. I tried it once, but there were very few players and I made a bad class choice.

Still, you should try sticking with games for a while before deciding you need to try a new one. A lot games (Especially RP ones) take time to get going.
