Volke, why don't you try WoW? Read the quests, explore the world. You can level up quickly there; the quests are well-written. With Cataclysm, they removed (well, not entirely, but mostly) quests like "Kill 30 wolves." Maybe you'll like it? And it's not expensive; you can play by saving money from lunches.
But thanks anyway, I don't want to. I still don't have time to play. I've even stopped replaying G1 and G2 over and over :D
For an hour, you can inevitably reach level 10, even on official x1 servers, if you're not mentally challenged.
And I still have the problem of a poor internet connection in the province, where I get disconnected every ten minutes, and the speed drops. And LotR and PvP were also laggy because I didn't have a good graphics card back then.
Also, "seeing crap," "worst traits" – I just said that it's a single-player MMORPG. For schoolkid haters, of course, who, at any mention of an MMORPG, immediately throw into the void their very important and original opinion "MMOs are crap, I don't need MMOs!" this is probably equivalent to the worst traits. But not for me. Don't get worked up, calm down.
You bring twenty skins and ten horns to the NPCs, level up your skills, gain a level, and then you can go to more dangerous locations where you used to get killed.
Pay attention to the second quote. Do you think that's interesting? It's for hardcore players. In MMORPGs, there are more interesting things, but you, again, only see "crap."
The problem is that there are few of these "more interesting things" there. However, I won't write the same thing for the third time; you can read about it above.

I only did quests up to level 15, and then I just went through dungeons =)
