Looking for an MMO to lose my life to

World of Tanks...

muh life

RIFT,
if you ever liked WoW, you'll love RIFT.

Has crafting, and best F2P model i've ever seen too.

Warframe is great, even though it may not be a traditional definition of an MMO.
Also, if you're really up for trying everything, maybe give Wurm a shot. Notch worked on it and it's kind of like Minecraft mixed with DayZ...kinda...it didn't draw me in but it's very unique, and it also has a great community.

TERA and Aion have alreayd been mentioned. I could also recommend The Secret World. It's not Free2Play but Buy2Play (€30 on Steam but cheaper on eBay for sure) with a couple of chapters (4 I thought) added already for €10 each. It has also crafting (a bit like Minecraft), dungeons and a pretty good community. Big PLUS TSW has compared to other MMOs out there is it's own leveling and skill system. Biggest CON is that you're up to your neck in zombies for the first couple of days/weeks (depending on how fast you level your skillwheel)

I played Voyage century online years ago. a hell of a lot of crafting and ship boarding

Even within MMO, there are a variety of game styles.

If you're looking for something WoW-like, Rift is alright.
More into Diablo? Play Path of Exile.
Or, or FPSs more your game? Firefall.

All three of these meet your critera (MMO, F2P, Crafting) with Rift having the worst F2P model, and PoE the best, but all playable without spending money.

Honorary mention: Robocraft. Not technically an MMO (more of a 3PS-MOBA) the crafting system is also highly non-traditional but you might find it interesting.

Phantasy Star Online 2...oh wait it's not out in English yet :/

I used to play Flyff a long time ago. It's F2P and stuff you can buy with real money (stuff like costumes, high level armor upgrading stuff, pets etc) can also be bought from people in game with in-game currency. Not much of a crafting in it though. Community is good, very mature people, last I checked. Good music, lots of places to go and you are never disadvantaged if you don't spend real money. The quests though suck, it's mostly kill this monster and collect whatever they drop. This stuff might have changed by now, it has been a long time since I last played it. Take a look around if interested.

Wait for ArcheAge
It will be F2P and with super awesome crafting system, even with building houses, ships, flying gliders and so on

Heaven and hearth and you will thank me later, get in the forums and enter a village

ps. truly forget IRL, you have been warned

Forget f2p. Play World of Warcraft.

Ingress

I know you asked for f2p and a new one but wow. I mean WoW. Why not? The only game I quit 5 times and decided to start again.. It was, is and always gonna be the best MMO imo. Also, if you have friend to play with, It's gonna be the game taking most of your time. However, if by any chance you decide to start WoW, be careful with your realm choice. Whichever game you choose, Have Fun!

Tera sounds fun but I dont have time for it :<

Have you tried ArcheAge? Some new casual mmo that everyone is fond of right now.

Path of Exile,SWTOR,Cabal,Shaiya ^.^ p.s I don't like WoW :P

Guild Wars 2, once you buy it you don't have to pay anymore, and the crafting system will have you hooked for months/years. And let me add that by paying the initial price you get so much more than you would if you played a F2P, it's completely worth it, and you can get it for around 30 bucks on GMG, or even cheaper some times.

Awesomenauts is worth a good 100-300+ hours Any moba is worth 5k+ hours

Tibia :D

Runescape

Warframe, it has a good bit of grinding if you dont intend to pay real money, its free, and you can get all weapons/frames the hard way, besides cosmetics witch are, as far as i know, useless

there is also spiral knights, good game, fun, hasnt got much to do when you reach the endgame, but theres an ingame market where people sell the real money currency, however its not a necessity you can get everything via crowns if you use the auction house, doing runs is free, 5* gear can be a pain to level at the moment, but its gonna take a while to get there anyway, theres 4 bosses and a fifth one is on the way, i suggest you try the game see if you like it or not, also most armors/weapons/shields are acquired by crafting them (or getting them as a reward from missions but thats just starting equipment)

City of Heroes!

No, wait, that's gone ;_;.
