Ok i'll try and make this as short and sweet as possible so i'll start by listing the features i like and which games i like that have best utilized them.
PvE- what i mean by this is you can go out by yourself and have a bunch of fun just killing things to level up, get gear and money. WOW, and Runescape(blah)
Dungeons- i love dungeons no matter how difficult. Solo dungeons would be nice- WOW, DDO and last chaos for the solo dungeons
Crafting- I love crafting, absolutely love it. and i love grinding for the supplies. Runes of Magic and WOW did awesome jobs with their crafting system. i dont like half assed systems that let you make a small handful of things only you can use. this is my favorite aspect of the games
Level/Grind- like i said i love going out and farming mobs for exp, gear and money. but what i mean by this is i dont want the level cap to be 20 like Guild wars or have it be in the 700's or whatever it is now like in Runescape. And i dont want it to take me months and months or just a few days to reach max level. i should mention i only play like 2-3 hours a day.
Economy- I love a player based economy. and this goes along with crafting because part of the reason i love crafting is making stuff others need and making a profit. an auction house would certainly help, not just a trading system. WOW was the best, Runescape in 2nd place.
Full loot- i dont want to get every item or piece of vendor trash from a completely rare and random drop. i love looting everything like in WOW. EQ2 did a good job as well
Gameplay- The type doesnt matter so much to me. as long as its not text based or point and click im fine. i like using the wasd keys to move and turn and i like the camera behind and slightly raised. but if a good isometric game like mythwar piques my interest ill play it. i dont mind a good turn based game, in fact i thought atlantica was awesome but had to wipe my comp
graphics- it can be a kids game like fusion fall, be more geared towards adults like EQ2. it can be fantasy or sci fi. as long is it isnt 2D or anime.
performance- i CANT play fallen earth or Warhammer. i CAN play and EQ2 smoothly with medium settings. if i can tweak or just completely drop the settings ill go for it.
price- i played wow for 2 years and im not sure i want to shell out anymore money unless it has a trial and i end up loving it. ill try any free game, even if it means ill suck because i cant afford the item mall
a small list of games i played
LIKED
-wow, Runes of magic, Atlantica
DIDNT LIKE
-Runescape, Anarchy, City of heroes/villains, Guild wars, Jade Dynasty, Silk Road
TESTING NOW
-Cabal online, Last Chaos, Perfect World International
I'll try anything at all, but these are just what i prefer. the most important features im going for are crafting, pve with item drops, and a decent level cap, like 40 - 200. thanks

well, so much for short and sweet
Vanguard:SOH would fit most of the criteria you have. My only concern would be whether you could run it. Also, just from what you said it sounds like you solo a lot and that might get frustrating, but not impossible, in VG.
Since you havent tried LotrO you should download the trial. Good crafting, lots of solo content including instances and it doesnt have high system requirements.
If WoW = The Beatles
and WAR = Led Zeppelin
Then LotrO = Pink Floyd
Allods ,pretty much wow where you can modify your character stats and f2p.
Generation P
I agree, also maybe check out aion?
alright, in the process of downloading and signing up for Allods beta. but LOTRO, which i forgot to mention i tried, wouldn't for some reason, play on my computer on low settings, idk why but it wouldn't. and it wasnt the trial either i splurged on the full game. but if the crafting is decent ill try the trial and go from there
