AoC... not even worth talking about.
WoW after WotLK has just become more of the same stupid grind, only easier. It took me only a few weeks to turn an old level 63 ret pally into an 80 with full epics. The fact that it's easy is not the problem, though. The real problem is that it combines a heavy required time investment with progress that goes far too quickly.
LOTRO is like a lesser version of WoW - not really worth playing.
The only great MMORPG out there right now is Eve Online. Its only problems are that gameplay can be rather boring at times, and that it's a very specific genre. Progress, difficulty, player effect on the game world, etc. are all executed better than in virtually any other game.
An upcoming game with great potential is The Old Republic. It's being developed by Bioware and they claim it's story-driven instead of grind-driven. If they can keep that promise, it might become the first MMORPG to really surpass WoW.

I don't like all that sci-fi stuff or I would be all over eve online. I'm liking WoW again because it seems like less of a grind now. Getting to 80 was a pleasure. Epics are easier to come by so getting geared takes much less time. The days of feeling like I had to play 8+ hours of WoW at a time just to compete are behind me I think.
I play a feral druid and with the buffs we got with wotlk I am really having fun again. The only classes I have trouble with are plate-wearers...especially those fucking ret paladins.
