I played Perfect World for a week. All I did was kill ****.
In DDO, you do actually quests and you can do raids. I think it's a fair substitute for WoW
Perfect World is full of quests. It even gives you a "Find Quest" button and autopaths you to NPCs and mobs to kill. You even get daily quests later on to kill bosses in various instances. It's only once you get into your 60s that you really run out of quests to do. You still get new ones at every level, but they only give you a few percent and you rely on dailies and instances to get your exp.
When I mean quests, I mean like things that don't only rely on killing something.
DDO, RuneScape, WoW and Spellborn are the only MMOs I can think of where there are numerous puzzle quests (where combat and loot farming are not the main focus).
Interestingly enough none of them are from Korea.
p.s. PW bored me to death

It is if you're looking for a simple game with a lot of lore. I played it for a few years, and I still kinda do. It's constantly updated and there's a lot of features. If you're new to MMO's I'd say play that first. Other than that, there's really no reason to not play it unless you've been around MMO's.
Maplestory is pretty much the only MMORPG that I ever got addicted to. Something about the 2D side scrolling gameplay paired with a close, active guild got me hooked. Nothing about 3D MMORPGSs fascinate me.
Also - Dragonica? People actually pay for that? Let alone play it?!

Maple is a purely PvE game with really unintuitive combat. I got hooked for a few months and it lost my interest shortly thereafter, simply because of how much of a snorefest it was to actually kill anything. Only thing I found incredibly fun was jumpquesting, but I could just play a better platforming hell game.
People do play Dragonica. I actually got to visit the studio that develops the game as a contest prize. While the game is broken in so many aspects, it had way more potential than MS. PvP and GvG was mad fun even if it was laggy and glitchy. Sadly though, I know people who spent over 500 USD (a couple I know go into the 1000+ range) on the game. Cash whoring infrastructure.

If you're a greenhorn around MMORPGs, start with RS. Simple gameplay, incredibly addictive levelling structuring, massive game world (larger than WoW's), lots of stuff to do, loads of player interaction and quests that are more than "fetch"/"kill X monsters" tasks. RS is about as simple as it gets. Nothing is incredibly complex but there's enough depth for people to get super serious about the game.
There are other games that do some of what RS does and they do them infinitely better, but RS has a nice package of gameplay features that you could get into.
It's also coded in Java online, so you can access it anywhere. Try it.
