The Secret World.
Modern Horror done right. H.P.Lovecraft meets Poe and King. A zombiepocalyps, black goo, mutated monsters, an evil coorporation, and all hell literally breaking loose.
I know most MMOers will just go for GW2, but Secret world is just...better. Except in crafting, lol.
It has one of the most amazing story lines I've ever played in an MMO, going back to EQ. It has a unique, very creepy feeling, and extreme customizability in both abilities (no classes, every skill is avaliable to everyone if you work for it), and clothing. I love not having armor change my appearance. In the gathering areas, almost no one looks the same, since their are hundreds of different tops, pants, skirts, coats, shoes, hats, glasses, etc. And lots of great weapon skins.
Another awesome feature is lots of original puzzle quests. not all just killx of x (though that still exists), there are James BonD style subterfuge missions, as well as missions that require real puzzle solving skills, and even looking up info in the real world (hence the in game google interface).
I found the 5 man instances to be extremely creative and interesting, and the bosses more fun than any I've fought in years and years.
It had a bumpy launch (rare that an MMO doesn't), but is really hitting it's stride now.
I am not currently playing it (stopped a couple months ago due to being too freaking busy), but hope to again next month, when the family will all get a little more free time.
