It's been several years since I've had an MMO to call home. I've played all the AAA MMOs that have come to the NA market. Unfortunately, out of the seemingly endless sea of MMOs, I've tried, the only ones that felt like home for any period of time since my WOW days were GW2, EVE, ROM, WAR and AA. With EVE being the only sci-fi title among them.
There's a particular blend of gameplay needed for me to find long-term satisfaction in a game. A compelling mission system that provides progression to max level or whatever is considered end game. A sense of exploration, where I can wander freely while traveling, harvesting or completing quests. A robust crafting and/or trade system on which to hang my character's hat in her adulthood. Regular injections of new content, abilities, professions and economic opportunities. And although I'm not a classic RPer, I enjoy good lore - deep backstory and context that gives meaning to what we're all supposedly doing in that universe. My Holy Grail MMO needs to have all of the above or at least, a majority.
