I'm a fan of Atlantica. Unlike typical MMORPGs, it's turn based rather than real time hack-and-slash. Similar to Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea, if you've ever played those.

The world, NPCs and locations are also loosely based on history and historical fiction. The main town is Rome with NPCs like Maximus, Julius Caesar and Vulcanus. There's also an in-game encyclopedia so you're never confused about what you need for a quest or what an item is used for.

PvP tournaments are held frequently, and it's not intimidating for a PVP-phobic person like myself! The game is updated pretty regularly, adding in new mercenaries, items and systems. IMO, the only downside is that I think they change things too often, which is a pain if you're trying to sell something on the market.
