Call for MMO Recommendations

What with its upcoming closure and all, Tabula Rasa doesn’t feel fun anymore. You know how when you’re playing a game, there’s always a tiny voice reminding you that are real-world things you could be achieving? Mine gets louder during MMO grind-fests and other repetitive games like Spore. When I know that everything I’m working towards will be gone in three months, it’s hard to convince myself that the entertainment value is worthwhile.

So, I’m looking for a new MMO. Any recommendations? I already know LOTRO, WoW and Guild Wars reasonably well. I played the beta of Empire of Sports and tbh, having my character work out in a gym just reminds me that I should be working out in the gym. I’ve just tried Archlord and omg, the serif-font menu design looks like arse so I can’t bring myself to give it a proper go.

What else is out there that:

1. Lets me play a female character in all classes, not just sexpot mage clichés (Archlord = FAIL!)
2. Has good casual clan/social support
3. Works well, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel

Any ideas?
