I've just about stopped feeling like playing anything that doesn't use time-based advancement (TBA)--this isn't "rest XP": you get XP/character points simply by existing, logged in or not. Of course, I play MUSHes, where the point isn't combat but RP. If it wasn't TBA, it would probably be a nominate/vote system, so there still wouldn't be an "accomplishments-based" XP system anyways.

And even if combat is a primary concern... I'll mention Eve Online, which is probably considered the "best" PvP MMOG out there at the moment. I don't play it, mostly because I can't stand PvP, but it uses TBA for its skill system. It has a subscription base of around 200K players.
