So i have been playing World of Warcraft for about 2 years now, but ive been laid off for quite some time now so i need to save my money. currently i am playing Dungeons and Dragons Online. I have Chronicles of Spellborn and Runes of Magic on my desktop but i seem to have only tried those for about a half hour each. the feature i am looking for are as follows:
Free --- micro-transactions are ok, but i want a decent amount of content without paying
Decent Leveling speed --- i dont want to be stuck at 1 for hours and hours, but i also dont want to hit the level cap within a week
Grinding --- i seem to find grinding very fun, as long as while im doing it i receive exp., loot, materials, gear, so on and so forth. this is the one thing i find myself disliking about DDO, and very much so, no individual exp, or loot
Crafting --- i want WoW-like crafting(recipes, farmable mats, usage for myself and other people)
Trading --- player to player trade of items and gear, possibly an auction house
Classes- melee, ranged, magic and whatever others there could be. plus i would like these to be easy to learn and easy to manage. i despise trying to juggle stances, forms, and abilities in the heat of battle.
Dungeons --- group and solo, raids are fine too
Solo-able content --- im not much for grouping up, at least not from the start, i like to be able to solo through a good portion before having to rely on others
Community --- i would like to be part of a mature, or at least less immature community than wow. i mean the rudeness, the so called elites treating the lowbies and noobs like dirt. we all started in the same place right? well unless you bought the account.
any suggestions would be great, and they dont have to cover every single feature i listed. if the game has great crafting, but no dungeons, thats cool too, i have no problem at all with playing more than one game at a time. thanks in advance

May i suggest atlantica? Spellborn is a great game but many of the wonderful things are fun with a party and if you just want a substitute for wow then runes of magic is what you want.
oh yeah and i forgot to add im running vista 32 on a laptop. i can run WOW, DDO, ROM, and TCOS fine, if im on low to medium settings, so the high demanding games wont work.
i guess the vista part doesnt matter, but im not sure if certain games require vista or xp or something.
