AdventureQuest Worlds is an upcoming FREE MMO, completely played through your web browser.
Its kind of like Runescape, but not so crap. Its actually more like a 2D cartoon version of WoW.
Its only in the Alpha testing phase at the moment, but when it becomes open to the public I think it would a great game for SICK to play. Mainly because its so freaking easy to join! Based on your web browser, anyone can just open a new window and log in.
Of course, Mythos would be great to play too. So all we have to do is wait for Mythos or AQWorlds to be released, then SICK will have something new to play. Yay.
Here's a video of it. There are heaps of other videos on youtube too.
I actually have access to Alpha, but I haven't played it yet cause time zones suck. You need to upgrade your account in one of their other games - AdventureQuest, DragonFable or MechQuest. (I upgraded my DragonFable account).
A few other people here might have upgraded theirs too. I know there's at least one other person here that has (its either AlphaX or Phrozen, I can't quite remember who :()
I kind of lost interest in these sorts of games, not the medieval fantasy, I love that, or othereise I wouldn't be here, but the lack of any camaraderie. While it's actually right up my alley as lately I have been essentually forced to solo, the lack of any really team aspect is largely lost on it.
But I really enjoy being able to see my team mate's ("avatars") beside me as I kill something.
Plus I need story. Mindlessly wlaking from place to place is fine enough, but I need more, I need to hunt down evil soul stealing mages, being tricked into getting items for people who I think are good guys but turn out to he the villian, and let us not forget, trapsing through miles and miles of sand and dense jungle to hunt down a man who fought a great evil in a labyrinth beneath a cathedral.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Well, AQW has the same mix of humour with story as WoW. So whether you think its enough storyline or not is for you to decide.
I just like to be able to visually be in a world with other people, standing around talking or running around fighting. And the fact that its free and doesn't require downloading makes it a great option for the guild.

That is a bonus.

I suppose I can do what I always do in a situation where the story is lacking, ROLE PLAY!!!!! If the sotry is lacking in the name of Helm and Torm I shall add story!!! Yes!!! And our fury will be such that bards will run their quills dry! Ink shall be scarse where'er we go!

If you want to try out the kind of story that this company (AE) makes, you should try out DragonFable. They have a good introduction for the game.
edit: Or at least, the introduction sets the style for the rest of the game. Its very funny, but also has a storyline with characters and events and plot twists and things.
Many of them do appear in my siganture, thanks to the quote a day banner.
Other comes the same game, just different characters.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realise you said you have already played them.
Man, I really feel like playing Diablo I and II with other people right now (or a similar game), but I don't have time nor do I have a fast enough internet.
I might play some Baldur's Gate II (the game where most of my quotes come from) sometime. Got lots of good stuff from Diablo, and if I can't find anyone to join me, well I can take one of the many lively NPC's with me.
The Character in my sig is one of the more well know. Him and his (minature giant space) hamster.
But this looks like a possibility for us to play as a group. though.

Berserk is the only anime wherein the characters use swords bigger they they are,that I find believable, mostly because the main character is using a real sword, a Zweihander. Zweihander is german for two handed.
Little skinny people who look like they play DnD all day shouldn't be weilding big swords. Sorry Bleach fans, but Ichigo looks weird with his big sword.
oh well no matter. always Mythos I guess.

lol, I just played it then. Its only in Alpha stage, so there's really not much to do but... man, I got really bored really quickly. But yeah, as I said, probs just cause its in alpha stage, because I don't mind playing DragonFable.
SO yeah, I guess Mythos is the last real option left.
