What about UNIQUE rpgs? They're unique in that it has NO similarities to WoW other than the whole 'rpg' sense, however everything else is completely different. I myself am a fan of unique games, and because I was an rpger before, I look for unique rpgs.
The following I have found to be quite original -
Drift City
Ace Online
Street Gears (No english version)
Drift City is a racing mmorpg, where its as if your 'character' is a car. (however you do get a real character, its just for visual purposes though) You can fully trick it out, make it look sexy etc. Race, do the actual storyline (rpg sense here) which imo is not that long.
Ace Online is a flight sci-fi mmorpg, your character is actually used when walking in a space station, otherwise you're in a sick 'gear' which is the term used for the vehicles in this game. You can choose 4 types - I gear, B gear, A gear and one other one I forgot, they each are like war figures - Sniper, Tank, Artillery etc. You can choose to do the storyline or just help out in current faction wars, pvp.
Street Gears - I haven't actually played this, but imo it looks epic. I'm just waiting on a possible english release, however it release chances are grim. It's similar to Drift City, except instead of cars, it's rollerblades. If you've ever seen Air Gear the anime, it's quite similar. There is a storyline and races, not sure what else. Again, no english version. It's spanish/german only, I think.
-edit forgot to add games of the genre you actually like.
Puzzle Pirates is a unique (remember, I only play unique games) puzzle RPG in the sense that it is actually role play, but in a... hard to explain way. Instead of leveling characters like normal rpg, you sort of rank up your skills, like bilging, crafting, etc. They're all mini-puzzle games which are used in PP to earn PoE (peices of eight, currency) to buy things like ships, swords (for another puzzle game, PvE/PvP, Swordfighting!) and anything else, You can play poker, a whole load of things that I really can't explain. You need to just try it out, I'm sure you'll love it. It is a family based game, so you will see a bit of immaturity, but you could probably hang with the parental/older groups.
maybe Dungeon Fighter? I personally dislike it because I am, really, not a fan of dungeon crawling etc. So boring. But friends who play this say it's unique and deserves a try. I THINK it's like a side scrolling 2d fighting, but thats just what it looks like.
