I've only played Everquest and I only played it for ~3 months at the very beginning when it first came out. I find MMORPGs to just be time wasters not really games. I really enjoyed exploring in EQ but since the game is built to not really reward that all you end up doing is level grinding. Even by the end of the first 3 months Everquest was becoming ridiculous as every little spot I had found was always packed full of players camping monsters. It was especially annoying when there would be anonymous high level player who would monopolize spots because he could kill everything in a few seconds. Stuff like that still happen?
The real fun is working with other players to overcome challenges. The key to enjoying MMORPGs is socializing I think so if you don't like to group don't bother playing them. Morrowind is basically a single player MMORPG so play that instead.
Personally I doubt I will ever play a MMORPG again if they continue to be level grinds without real gameplay. That's the reason I quit EQ because I died and lost all my items. I could not get them back because my body somehow disappeared. Few months of work down the drain for nothing. Progress Quest is more fun.

The main reason people play MMORPGs for a long time imo is the people they play it with. Because you play 10-20-30hrs a week the people in your guild become quite good mates, especially after 3 years+. Exploring only last so long, getting the phattest lewt (kekeke GIVF ITAM!!!!!1111) can be stressy. PvP is fun too, I don't like fighting against an AI as I can exploit any weaknesses too easily, humans are more unreliable, and i don't have the twitch reflexes or the low maturity level required for decent online FPS games.

Aside from that... I can't think of any that really appeal to me. I know not many people here play MMORPGs, but maybe someone here who's atleast been following them some more can fill me in on what's been happening with the games, or recomend a good one. |
Ive gotten back into playing Ultima Online. I've yet to find a good shard with enforced RP. I know of one that I like, but my conenction to the server sucks, lags like hell. The few shards that I can play on have too fast of skill gain and stat gain, too much non-roleplay non guild/faction oriented PvP (ie, people go around killing each other just for loot. not even the nooBs are safe), poor quests, and no story. (well the best story I found on the shards I can play is "OSI CLONE!")
I downloaded a server emulator (UOX3) as well. You have to build the world pretty much from scratch, doors, tables, vendors, monsters, treasures, street lights, you get the picture. Also an offline server is destined to be severly lacking in players.  Its a fun project though.

what I'm asking is what you guys do in MMORPG's.
do you just go around and kill things? Do you explore? trade? socialize? |
all of the above. Its like a chat room/rpg. Unless you get into the more action oriented ones such as WWIIOL, then its pure combat goodness.  I miss WWIIOL.

do any of thes games have good quests to do? Is there any rewarding storyline? |
Depends on the server.
