You sound very much like me. Like Saire mentioned, New Worlds Ateraan is your best bet. When I found it, it was the ultimate in intensive roleplay with a myriad of choices, easy to start and get going without a bunch of hogwash and garbage to weed through.

The best thing about NWA is that the staff and players are super helpful. Try it out it is far and beyond the best roleplaying game on the web. You can get to a play link at the website at . Make sure you start your first character in the North though as it is much more helpful and ask for a tour once you get out of creation. The tour is not automated, one or two or more players will take you around roleplaying with you and showing you the town. It's pretty cool. I'd ask to take a ride on a ship, it will floor you! LOL
