Yeah, I am getting pretty over it for now.

There are a lot of f2p and they can be fun but I wouldn't want to try 
and see them as long term.
With wow you go away and come back and everything is still there, 
completely morphed, strange numbers, but still more or less there.
Not so much with f2p.

I can't recommend any for your request.
Planetside 2 is okay but total pvp. I hate pvp on wow but there it -is- 
the game, not so bad. At least you can go play tourist and not be 
guaranteed of being wiped out if you set foot out of defined progress zones.
   Pick any that look like they will be fun for a while. Read reviews. 
Repeat every 2 weeks. Provided you have enough quota for the 25 gig 
downloads.

Just don't get sucked into the money tornado.
   Really, they are designed to suck you in.
Or you could try solitaire or long walks, gardening, reading books, 
clearing out the backlog of things you meant to do.
Seriously, it doesn't have to be online mmporg.

Come back to wow in a year, or two, for a week or a month, it will still 
be there.
