Why an MMO specifically, what's so different between an MMO and any other non-online game out there if it's solely for entertainment? Truly the only thing MMOs have over non-online games is the community which, for the most part in most cases sucks due to the lack of consequences on the internet. Also, e-drama. Guh.
There's always the US version of DFO I guess (via US proxy I guess, there must be at least 1 foreigner on SP.net playing US DFO right now), have heard alot of gleaming reports of the game itself and there's an active community here on SP, but Nexon sucks, as is the norm around these parts. Unless you can't access it that is in which case I'd probably just stick to MS, levelling is nowhere near as painful as it used to be. Assuming you are NXless, Level 70 in a week is doable on 1x. 4th job, probably a month on 1x. Past that it's mostly up to you how you train. Merchanting is not required for funding. Scroll quests alone would most likely get you decent equips. I have no experience with the other games listed.
If neither of those is an option, I have no other ideas other than suggest you broaden your horizons for computer-based entertainment past free MMOs which are *usually* artificially lengthened and repetitive in nature to make you pay, of your own free will of course, for advantages and such.
