If you're looking to pay, RIFT seems promising. Other games like some cool mmo shooters, Global Agenda, Crime Craft (all third person shooters with roleplaying elements, item crafting, etc.) there's an apocalyptic mmorpg called Fallen Earth that I really liked alot. If you guys are into the competitive game scene you should check out Bloodline Champions, it's pretty much WoW arena combat smashed into 3-5 minute rounds, theres objective based like capturing artifacts, deathmatch etc. Let me know if you decide to play, that's the game I'm on now.
