The question I have is whether you like having crafting, etc. side systems as enjoyable play, or whether this was more because of the dislike of having combat as the sole XP generator.

If the latter, you could give the MUSH/MUX side of the gaming family a try. Most are very much more oriented to RP without a combat XP system (and thus, usually no farming for XP). Most use either GM awards, player voting, or time-based system for advancement.

Genre is far more important than features in these, so I won't give any specific recommendations. FYI, TMS seems to get less MUSH/MUX listings than TMC.

Also, there seems to be few (to maybe almost none) of these that charge, or even take donations.
