Defining Personality and Traits.
Distinctive and relatively stable pattern of behaviours, thoughts, motives, and emotions that characterizes an individual throughout life. A characteristic of an individual, describing a habitual way of behaving, thinking, and feeling.
Projective Tests
Projective tests
Based on the assumption that the test taker will transfer (³project´) unconscious conflicts and motives onto an ambiguous stimulus. Examples include the Thematic Apperception Test and the Rorschach
Thematic Apperception Test Person is asked to tell a story about the ³hero´ in the picture Another projective test Based on Murray¶s personality theory People are distinguished by the needs that motivate their behaviour .
so the things you see must be ³projected´ from inside yourself Sample Rorschach Card .The Rorschach Inkblot Test Ambiguous stimuli Person is asked to report what they see This type of test is called projective No clear image.
Objective Tests Standardized questionnaires requiring written responses. Better at predicting behaviour. . typically include scales on which people rate themselves: µI am easily embarrassed¶ T or F µI like to go to parties¶ T or F More reliability and validity than projective tests.
. Example: Cattel¶s 16 Personality Factors (PF) Questionnaire. clusters of measures or scores that are highly correlated are assumed to measure the same underlying trait or ability (factor).

Environmental Influences on Personality The power of parents The power of peers Situations and circumstances .
The Power of Parents The shared environment of the home has little influence on personality. . there may be little relation between what they do and how their children turn out. The nonshared environment is a more important influence. Even when parents try to be consistent in the way they treat their children. Few parents have a single child-rearing style that is consistent over time and that they use with all children.
Peer acceptance is so important to children and adolescents that being bullied.The Power of Peers Adolescent culture includes different peer groups organized by different interests. . victimized or rejected by peers is far more traumatic that punitive treatment by parents.

Hotel Arca is a ways away from the center of the town, and there isn't much of a sidewalk. The WiFi was so-so and the hallway looks to be under construction. Also be aware that many of the photos on the website are of Spoleto, not of the hotel and are not representative of the hotel or the neighborhood. That said, the owner was really nice and gave me a ride to the station when he saw I had a ton of things with me.
I had a great stay in this hotel. Everything is perfect.

cleens plaque and teeth
I bought this vitamin because there is not enough of vit. K in my multivitamins in order to balance it out. After having taken it for a month I noticed my teeth feel cleener and there is no plaque when I floss. Today the dentist thought I had my teeth cleaned recently. My gums no longer bleed when I floss or brush, but I'm also taking a one a day multivitamin + minerals and extra vit. C. I'm very happy with the result and will definitly repurchase. I'm thinking to add vit K2 in the near future. Thanks for the quick delivery.
good for the price

Stopping dot hemorrhages
Posted by Reviewer2095408 on Jun 05, 2013
Contrary to what's said medically, 500 to 1000mcg of K1 a day works uncomparably better for me than K-2(neither 1000mcg of MK-4 or 90mcg of MK-7 was effective) in stopping dot hemorrhages that kept popping up in everyday life. (I had those weird red spots long before I started taking 100 to 200mg aspirin a day for a reason. I had to raise the dose of K1 after I started aspirin, but it's still helping.) It seems to be doing good to my teeth, too.

As the likes of Jessica, Hannah, Andy and Mo return to their lives after their recent triumphs in the Olympic Stadium, we are sure they will be pleased to know that their legacy lives on. Minutes from the stadium, in Hackney's glorious Victoria Park, members of Team Women and Children First celebrated their own victories having completed the City vs Wharf 5k.
The team members, made up almost exclusively of 'work neighbours' renting office space in the wonderful Busworks Building, all succeeded in achieving their own individual goals - for most of them it was their first race; some just wanted to get to the finish line in one piece, others to get there without stopping - a special congratulations goes to our youngest team member (12) who not only ran in a very admirable 28 minutes, but also made some wonderful flap jack to share with the team after the race. A heartfelt thank you to you all, and to all the people who sponsored you.
One thing the whole team have in common is the desire to raise funds to reduce infant mortality and improve maternal health in some of the poorest parts of our world, some motivated by their own experiences of a safe delivery under the care of the NHS. Read these extracts from a couple of their Virgin Money Giving Pages:
"If we lived in much of Asia and Africa, Amy and I wouldn't be here today. We were lucky to have our wonderful NHS who were there the whole way before pregnancy and most importantly when we needed an emergency caesarian." Sandy
"...it's surprising how many people we have in our lives who, without timely interventions from our NHS, would not have survived the process - in some cases the mum, some the baby, in some both. You probably have the same among your own friends." Caroline
Running welcomes all ages, shapes, sizes and levels of fitness. If you'd like to stand at a start line among 100's or 1000's of others sharing the air of excited anticipation mingled with the waft of tiger balm, put Women and Children First in your own challenge and please please get in touch - we will do all we can to support you.

# Use Headings
Combine headings with paragraph text and other elements like lists:
- It's super quick.
- It's super easy.
# Separating Slides
To start a new slide, simply put three dashes (`---`) on a single line, with an empty line above and below.
# Paragraphs
Use a blank line in between text to start a new paragraph.
You can include a paragraph break by leaving an empty line between the paragraphs.
Otherwise lines will follow on directly like this.
# Large Heading
## Regular Heading
### Small Heading
#### Tiny Heading
## Combine Headings
### Of Different Sizes
# [fit] Make Headings Fit Onto
# [fit] The Slide
# Unordered Lists
- Start each bullet point
- with a dash to create
- an unordered list
# Ordered Lists
1. Start each item with
1. a number followed by a dot
1. to create an ordered list
# Nested Lists
- You can create nested lists
1. by indenting
1. each item with
1. 4 spaces
- It's that simple
# Asterisk Emphasis
Use single asterisks around text to *emphasise it*.
Or use double asterisks for an **strong emphasis** style.
# Underscore Emphasis
Alternatively, you can also use underscores to emphasize:
Wrap text in single underscores to _emphasize it_. Or use double underscores for the alternative __strong emphasis style__.
# Combined Emphasis
Combining underscores with asterisks lets us mix and match the emphasis styles. Play with it — some themes have additional style options for those combinations:
- _**Style 1**_
- __*Style 2*__
- __**Style 3**__
# The same *styles* work in **headings**, too.
# More Styles
- ~~Strikethrough~~

-- Alan Kay
# Inline Quotes
You can also use a quote together with paragraph text or other elements on the slide:
> The best way to predict the future is to invent it
-- Alan Kay
Prefix the author of the quote with `--`, or leave it out if it's anonymous.
# Text on Images
Setting text on images applies a filter to the image to make the text more readable.
# Disable Filter
![original 250%](image2.jpg)
# Zoom In
# Split Slides
Use the `left` or `right` modifiers to place the image in the left or right half of the slide, respectively.
![left filtered](image1.jpg)
# Force Apply Filter
Use the `filtered` keyword to apply the theme's filter to an image that isn't filtered by default.
![right fit](image2.jpg)
# Split Slides
Combine `left` or `right` with the `fit` keyword or a percentage to adjust the image scaling.

# Inline Videos
# YouTube Embeds!
You can also use URL parameters like `?t=30s` to specify a start time for the clip.
# Video Layout Control
Use the same layout modifiers as with images to control the positioning of videos.
- `left` and `right`
- `fit` and `fill`
- Percentage sizing, e.g. `50%`
![right autoplay mute](video.mov)
# Video Playback Control
Control video playback by using one of those directives:
- `autoplay`
- `loop`
- `mute`
# Syntax Highlighting
Use GitHub style fenced code blocks to specify the language.
url: "/api/getWeather",
data: {
zipcode: 97201
success: function( data ) {
$( "#weather-temp" ).html( "" + data + " degrees" );
# Automatic Scaling
Don't worry if your code is slightly too long. Deckset scales code blocks to fit automatically.
def establish_connection(spec = nil)
spec ||= DEFAULT_ENV.call.to_sym
resolver = ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionSpecification::Resolver.new configurations
spec = resolver.spec(spec)
unless respond_to?(spec.adapter_method)
raise AdapterNotFound, "database configuration specifies nonexistent #{spec.config[:adapter]} adapter"
connection_handler.establish_connection self, spec
# Inline `code`
Use code within normal text by enclosing it in backticks.
For example: `func map<A, B>(x: A?, f: A -> B) -> B?`
# Presenter Notes
Deckset turns every paragraph that starts with a `^` into presenter notes and doesn't show this text on the slides.
^ This is how you create a presenter note. You'll see it on the presenter display (with two screens connected) or by using the rehearsal mode.
^ To start another presenter note paragraph, prefix it with a caret again. Deckset will automatically scale the notes down to fit onto the presenter display in case you have a lot of text.
footer: © Unsigned Integer UG, 2014
slidenumbers: true
# Footers and Slide Numbers
Include persistent custom footers and/or running slide numbers by inserting the following directives at the *very top* of your file:
`footer: © Unsigned Integer UG, 2014`
`slidenumbers: true`
Make sure that there are *no empty lines* between the two.
footer: Use *emphasis* and ~~other~~ text styles if you like
# Text Styles in Footer Text
You can use standard text styles such as emphasis in your footer text, just as you would in other places too.
# Link to External Resources
In case you're looking for something, you could use [Google](http://google.com) or [Wikipedia](http://wikipedia.com).
Links will be clickable in exported PDFs as well!
# Links Between Slides
Define an anchor on the slide you want to link to using standard HTML syntax:
`<a name="link-target"/>`
Then you can link to this [slide](#link-target) easily.
# Footnotes
Footnotes are a breeze, for example:
Most of the time, you should adhere to the APA citation style[^1].
Note that footnote references have to be *unique in the markdown file*. This means, that you can also reference footnotes from any slide, no matter where they are defined.
[^1]: For more details on the citation guidelines of the American Psychological Association check out their [website](https://www.library.cornell.edu/research/citation/apa).
# Named References
Instead of just numbers, you can also name your footnote references[^Wiles, 1995].
[^Wiles, 1995]: [Modular elliptic curves and Fermat's Last Theorem](http://math.stanford.edu/~lekheng/flt/wiles.pdf). Annals of Mathematics 141 (3): 443–551.
# Formulas
Easily include mathematical formulas by enclosing TeX commands in `$$` delimiters. Deckset uses [MathJax](http://www.mathjax.org/) to translate TeX commands into beautiful vector graphics.
\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)
# Inline $$Formulas$$
You can also include Formulas in paragraph text. Deckset takes care of adjusting the font size and color to match the surrounding text, for example:
The slope $$a$$ of the line defined by the function $$f(x) = 2x$$ is $$a = 2$$.
# Formula Autoscaling
Don't worry if your equations get really complex. Deckset will scale them down to fit onto the slide.
1 + \frac{q^2}{(1-q)}+\frac{q^6}{(1-q)(1-q^2)}+\cdots =
\quad\quad \text{for $|q|<1$}.
# Use Emojis :+1:
Deckset supports GitHub style emojis: :tada: :umbrella: :sunflower: :cat: :smile:
Please refer to this Emoji Reference Markdown file to see which emoji are supported in Deckset. There are a few favourites that aren't in unicode so we cannot support them.
# Controlling Line Breaks
In paragraph text, Deckset respects when you start a
This can come in handy in situations where you need more control over how text is broken up into multiple lines.
# Use `<br>` for
line
breaks
You can use the HTML tag `<br>` to insert line breaks in elements that cannot contain regular new lines, such as headings or footers.
At times you have to fit more content onto one slide than the default font sizes allow for.
Deckset comes with an option to auto-scale paragraph text, lists, and other body content down to fit onto the slide. To enable this behavior put
autoscale: true
at the top of your markdown file. (Make sure that there are *no empty lines* between any other directives at the top of your markdown file.)
In Presenter and Rehearsal mode, you may want list items to appear one by one. To achieve this with Deckset, put
build-lists: true
at the top of your markdown file. (Make sure that there are *no empty lines* between any other directives at the top of your markdown file.)
Please note that this only affects Presenter (and Rehearsal) mode.
Deckset does store the theme choice as metadata to the file. In some cases, this information can get lost, e.g. in version control systems or when sending the file via email.
To make sure the theme choice doesn't get lost, you can include it at the top of your Markdown file by adding
theme: Fira
If you also want to specify the color choice, you can reference the number of the color swatch as it appears within Deckset e.g.:
theme: Fira, 3
If you want to prevent particular slides (or pieces of content) from being presented but want to keep them in your document, you can do it like this:
This slide will be hidden.

Japan's yen was the only substantial mover among major developed world currencies on Tuesday, rising a third of a percent against the dollar.
The dollar pared losses against a basket of currencies on Monday after a Federal Reserve official delivered hawkish remarks.
The U.S. dollar fell to a more than two-week low against the Japanese yen on Friday.
The U.S. dollar fell against a basket of major currencies on a perceived lack of progress on U.S. tax reform and public spending.
TOKYO, Feb 23- The dollar drifted on Thursday as impact from the Federal Reserve's policy meeting minutes and supportive comments from a top U.S. official faded, while the Australian dollar slipped in the wake of downbeat economic data. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin reportedly reiterated that a strong dollar was a "good thing" in the long run.
The dollar index erased earlier gains after Fed meeting minutes showed the next interest rate increase could be soon.
The dollar rose broadly on Tuesday after two Fed policymakers pointed to the potential for US interest rates to rise next month.
The euro recovered some ground against the dollar after talks aimed at finding a leftist unity candidate for France's election showed little sign of progress.
The yen rose against major currencies as concerns about the upcoming French elections kindled safe-haven demand for the Japanese currency.
Daryl Guppy, CEO of Guppytraders.com, takes a look at the charts of the ASX 200 and the Aussie dollar.
The dollar headed for a second day of losses on Thursday, falling against the euro, yen and the basket of currencies.
Gareth Berry of Macquarie says he expects the Fed to hike interest rates twice this year.
The greenback was previously on track for its 11th straight day of gains.
The dollar rose as investors raised their outlook on a faster pace of U.S. rate increases following comments from Fed Chair Janet Yellen.
The dollar hit a two-week high against the yen with another round of solid gains as investors focused again on the U.S. reflation trade.
The dollar gained in part on expectations of a constructive meeting between President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Michael Preiss of Taurus Wealth Advisors weighs in on political risk and how it might play into the dollar and euro.
The New Zealand dollar was by far the biggest faller among major currencies on Thursday.
The dollar fell pressured by the decline in U.S. Treasury yields as investors have priced out a March rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
President Trump is likely to take an aggressive approach to the yen when he meets Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

The FDA says there is no medical benefit to marijuana. Tell that to the assistant D.A. in this story, who used to prosecute drug busts but who now smokes pot to build up an appetite ravaged by AIDS.
L.A. Times:
As assistant district attorney in San Francisco, Keith Vines prosecuted one of the largest illicit drug busts the city had ever seen. Then he came down with AIDS wasting syndrome and lost 60 pounds over three years.
To stimulate his appetite, he started taking marinol, an FDA-approved drug containing THC, one of the active ingredients in marijuana. He says he couldn't control the dose of the drug, which must be swallowed. "I would be out of it for four or five hours," he says.
And so, instead of continuing with marinol, he started smoking medical marijuana, keeping his head clear by puffing only as much as he needed to get hungry. He gained back all his weight, he says.
Like many in his condition, Vines flatly disagrees with an April 20 announcement by the Food and Drug Administration and several other federal agencies that smoking marijuana confers no medical benefits.
So do physicians who write prescriptions for medical marijuana. (Doctors can't prescribe the plant.) They say the government hasn't done its homework ? and cite a 1999 report by the Institute of Medicine, a prestigious organization that advises the government, that found otherwise.
From the L.A. Times

Excite.com cookie bug plagues Mac users
MacNN Readers Mo Mehlsak and Barbara Riegelhaupt note a very serious problem affecting Mac users running Microsoft Internet Explorer in Mac OS 9: Apparently, the newly reborn Excite.com deposits a cookie for registered users that corrupts Internet preferences.

A MS tech support staffer I spoke to said they had \"dozens\" of calls about it today. The fix is to move Internet prefs and files in the MS Cache folder [also found in the Prefs folder] to the desktop or trash, launch the Internet control panel to create a new prefs file, and either enter a new home page under the Web tab or choose \"none.\"

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

Aeromat Half Round Foam Roller - 36" - The Half Round Foam Roller from Aeromat is made from firm, closed cell blue foam featuring one flat side and one round side. The foam firmness is between soft and high density and offers sufficient support while remaining comfortable for most.
Half foam rollers are great for performing basic foam rolling exercises and for those that might be new to foam rolling. Use flat side down to stabilize your foam rolling exercises, stretches and massages. Using the flat side down is also perfect for balance training while standing or
kneeling on the roller. When ready to progress to more challenging balance training, simply flip the half moon shaped foam roller over so that the round side is down and the flat side is up. This creates more instability than before but still less instability than a full round foam roller. Besides performing
balance training and stretches, half foam rollers also make effective bodyweight training tools for push ups and squats.
Have additional questions about our Half Round Foam Rollers or would you like a customized quote? Call an Ironcompany.com Aeromat specialist today at 1-888-758-7527 or email email@example.com

Theres no such thing. All MMORPG's are a waste of time and space and carbon copies of each other, its an entire genre fueled by lack of innovation and bad gameplay design. Theres a few MMO's with potential but they're still way off.
Just get a real game worth your time for a console or whatever.

though it isn't what OP asked for I must agree with Sety
there are hardly any good mmorpg's out there because most carry the same "quest to kill stuff" technique. You can never find an rpg that has "less grinding" lol

unless you find some friends to play with, i don't suggest mmos
you wont enjoy the game play at all, and no MMO to this date has ever given "immediate meaningful short term goals'. that defeats the whole purpose of sticking with the game in the first place

No MMO exists that meets those criteria.
I guess Guild Wars doesn't have much grinding, since you can start at level 20 for a PvP-only character, but it doesn't meet any other criteria.

I see but its OK. I did have the feeling that there was none. I've already tried many mmorpg's and have suffered boredom throughout. I guess I'm going to stick with ps3's interesting yet repetitive shooters. Although it makes me wonder why none have tried to pass this criteria...

you can't have everything that appeals to everyone
quick payoff quests dont work because anyone with decent gaming ability would finish all the content in less than a week and have nothing else to do
same with less grinding. you finish the content, then what.
innovative and interesting is a point of view. most mmos try to update their contents with patches so almost all mmos fit this category to keep players interested

thing is all quests are based on grinding D:
you want infinite quests then you should expect grind quests in return whether it be dungeons or normal area's all quests will be based on grinding
trust me before you know it you feel like there are several other things that seem like fun and before you know it you're doing the same dungeons every day to get the gear you want so that you can go to an even more difficult dungeon and repeat the process that or you play pvp and get annoyed by your lack of good gear so then you have to pvp-grind to get better pvp gear >.<

right, you can't have lots of quests but at the same time not consider it grinding, but anyways
that list is pretty accurate for top mmos, dont mind the 'game lair' part for when you're trying to look up the games themselves don't know what that is
chances are you'll be looking at a pay monthly game if you want a decent game

My suggestion is the last MMO I played, stopped played for personal reasons.But the best thing about the game was when I was starting out.I'll try and explain why i think it means your criteria.
Firstly Idk what exactly constitues as new in the MMO world, but if by new you mean "out this summer" then no Mabinogi has about 1 year out in NA.The game updates frequently enough as in currently G7 out of 11 ( G = Major Update).The game is popular somewhat its usually listed somewhere on online sites, its no WoW but it has a large player base.
First off on the important ones Less Grinding : This system is what made me stick to Mabinogi after falling in love with it.YOU CAN Grind, you don't have a cap but theres obviously a leveling curve makes it harder as you go up.But theres a twist; Mabinogi has 2 sets of levels.Basically you can level up freely(be it Grinding or carefree) eventually you get the ability to "Rebirth" I.G. reset your level back to level 1 but you keep your skills ranked as they are.You have aTotal Level of the summed up times you've "rebirthed".If you haven't figured it out yet, this means that you don't NEED to grind to get stronger or make progress in the game you can play at your leisure as you will always grow stronger over time, rewarding the people that grind(with faster growth) but not punishing the Average gamer.In other words theres no obligation to grind bears for 3 hours to get one level unless you want to.
When can you rebirth?
*Every one week if you pay( 10$ ) at any age ; you get to change your looks as well.
*Or when you reach age 20 ( this translate to every 3 weeks if you want to be as efficient as possible) for free.
Next is Innovative & Interesting
Now this one is tricky because theres a lot of personal taste involved but I will try my best regardless.
To start with Graphics, the graphics are bit cartoony and resemble Anime in some form.I personaly like them is a change from the Usual Everquest Template or Korean Clone.Some people are put off some people love them, personally I think that even if the graphics arn't your thing the game is too good to pass off.
Customization ; Not only can you choose Race,Gender,Face,Hair,Skin & Age at creation(and when you rebirth with a premium card) but clothing & armor are more about looks than efficiency as an example the beginner shirt & pants are as efficient in combat as the most expensive tuxedo.If you haven't figured it out this means you can dress your character anyway you desire without worrying that you need to get better stats etc.On top of that you can change the color scheme on 90% of the clothing in game.Armor is no were near essential either but still variable and customizable .
The combat pretty much defines Innovative, is COMPLETELY different from any other MMO I've played.I won't go into much details but its about timing and strategy were you are an active part of the action unlike the WoW fashion combat "click & watch".The only downside is that without someone to teach you(or a bit of research on forums) the game can be kinda hard at the start.But again for me that made it all the more interesting.Theres no "classes" you build your character how you want, Combat is divided but not limited to one; Range,Magic & Melee.
Professions ; This isn't THAT much different from other mmos, stuff like Musician ,Blacksmiths & Potionmakers.To me the main difference is the Rebirth system because you don't ever have to slave yourself over gaining levels a player can easily be a social player that concentrates on a profession instead of combat(theres A LOT of people like this).Theres also Part-time jobs that can be repeated and are usually Town oriented tasks a nice touch specially for social players.
Muscians, you can compose your own music and play it game(sorry don't know the details) but you can also recreate your favorite songs from anime and games which is what a lot of people do.
Quests; You have normal quests and you have what is known as G# quest that can unlock special transformation that are the equivelant of Super Sayaian in game, Savage Beast(giants),Paladin/Dark Knight(humans) & Falcons(Elves) as well as narrating a pretty interesting story.
Theres a few other things but I can't keep writing so much @_@
Purposeful quest
Again personal thing but my personal experience was that the quest have a beautiful difficulty curve that rewards with self satisfaction(mostly because of the combat system).The game challenges to keep aiming for stronger monsters starting off with wolves and Bears who challenge your reaction speed and keeness rather than your level and equipment as you push through the challenge you suddenly find yourself slaying a Succubus or a Giant Golem
At least that how it felt for me, It felt like I was getting stronger along with my character, And the satisfaction of climbing over those challenges was some I've never experienced before something very personal and because of it It will remain among my favorite gaming experiences, the feeling of killing that first Bear still brings a smile to my face.
A Few CONS : To balance the bias review.
The community: The game is hosted by Nexon and its F2P, so theres a lot of Maplestory kids in the game.The maturity bar(even if you like dick jokes) is pretty low in some areas, this is of course in general.You can always find good people to hang around if you look for them.
Skill Wise : Again the community is Avg Skill is very low so partying with randoms sometimes can be burdening.So getting a close knit team is advised.
$$$$$$ : The only bad thing the premium serviced had was Rebirth but thats now changed so it isn't so bad BUT things like Housing,Guild management & Pets(ranging from combat dogs to ride-able horses) are all premium exclusive,As well as few unique articles of clothing( good thing its only a fashion statement )
BOTS : And average amount of bots, not as disgusting as some MMOs(IG Korean Grind) but they are still there.
Nexon : Horrible Customer Support, great Staff though
Laggggg : If you have a bad internet connection, you might be screwed and won't be able to fight properly.
Thats about it, kinda wrote on the spot so it might be missing a few things.
TIP : For anyone who decides to play it.
1)Golden rule of Combat : Find a Loop
1)Basic Loop: ...Hit+Hit+Hit + Counter + Block +Hit+Hit+Hit (Repeat)
2)Do those church part times, and stalk those holywaters. At the very least you can make a lot of money.

There were some enjoyable persistent worlds out there. They suffered financial failures though--EQ-style grindfests just sell better to the masses who'd rather slaughter hordes of mindless enemies than contribute to the building a fictional world.

Um...for 3D mmorpg:
1. Perfect World
It's a war based game but not with other but against monsters called Wraiths. I didn't need any grinding until lvl 40-45+ (somewhere around there) due to the fact that you are constantly bombarded with quests that actually mean something later on when you are higher level. . There is only a few character species but they are Winged Elves (yes they can fly), Untamed (can turn into animals depending on gender), and Humans (Um...they can run fast?).
2. Shaiya
This one is also a war based game but you can't fly or turn into animals etc.; unlike Perfect World the war is actually players vs players with two sides you can choose from (light or darkness), both consist of good species of characters however darkness tends to have more 'manly' characters why light is more graceful and elegant looking. The 4 species consist of Elf, Human, Vail, and Nordein (aka Deatheaters). It's fun when warring and stuff but grinding is needed at a really low level and you will spend more time grinding than anything else.

Look into Mabinogi, if you feel so inclined.
The community is nice, and honestly.. there's not too much pointless grinding, because the quests/storyline keeps you fairly leveled. Plus, that MMO has about 7 or 8 story lines by now, so unless you just get too lazy to do them, the game doesn't really get dull.

Yes, there certainly is a MMO that meets your requests, but you'll have to wait for it to get released by the end of September (unless you live in Korea, than you can play it right away). It's called AION, watch the korean open beta teaser for a good idea.
An MMO I don't like, but the concept is seriously perfect is EVE Online, it's an absolute unique popular MMO. With extensive crafting solutions and waaaay less grinding than the mainstream MMO's. The only con for me is that it's situated in space, no epic fantasy setting.
2 other MMO's Are Guildwars and ArchLord, Guild Wars has been mentioned before. Which have an extremely unique skillsystem.
ArchLord is now free to play and to download, since Lotro has come out. It's an amazing game. But the con is that not all epic stuff is gainable, you'll have to buy stuff from an online store eventually, but you can play without ever buying stuff.
The most anticipated MMO at the moment will come out around 2011-2012 (yeah, I know... why even announce something like that) it's called Blade and Soul. But no one really knows what the game will bring. The combosystem seems really complicated, heck even simple running looks complicated if you imagine most MMO are just using mouse clicks or arrows for moving. You should definately watch the whole trailer to get an idea.
Hope this helped.

I've played them all, starting with Meridian 59 like 10 years ago... I don't think there's anything new AND innovative out right now. Most MMORPGS are sort of like WoW and Everquest clones. There are a few innovative ones(I'd like to think) that I've been playing lately, though.
Like other players have mentioned, Mabinogi is quite a unique game. One of the biggest features is that the combat engages the player, skill is a big factor in this game. Fights happen in real time and require a bit of twitch as well as the right strategy. A skilled player with a new character could solo some very difficult dungeons while an unskilled character even with the strongest character would fair very poorly just because he doesn't know how to use the skills he has properly. E.G. When I first started I used to think Rabbie dungeon was near impossible to take on solo unless you had an end-game character or a big party, but now I can clear the dungeon out solo with a brand new character(Even well built characters could die to mobs in just a few hits! But a skilled player can avoid getting hit altogether if played right). Level doesn't mean as much as it does in other games. Still, there is a lot of room for improvement, the rebirth (leveling) system is unique and you could literally spend years trying to max out your character.
The graphics would usually be a con, but since I'm on Animesuki forums, the graphics, which are very anime-like, might just be a feature. There's no subscription fee and you can play at a high level for free or pay for some additional services that mostly just make the game a little easier. The game is unique and a nice change of pace.
I will mention Entropia Universe as an interesting 3D mmorpg you could possibly check out. It's a very open ended RPG that uses real money as money in-game. There are a lot of professions, the main three are hunting/mining/crafting, there are no quests. You just log-in and do whatever the heck you feel like doing. There is no subscription fee, but just about every action costs money to do, which has led the game to being compared to a casino by some. To be honest, most will lose out in the long run. Myself, I originally just wanted a cheaper alternative to poker to satisfy a gambling habit I had built up. I'm actually one of the lucky ones who have been able to make a profit and I ended up paying my college tuition from playing the game! It also helped keep my MMO subscription fees quite low since I started playing compared to previous years. I guess, iit's a bit like Mabinogi in the sense, you can choose how much you want to put and what level you want to play at.
Back to the game, hunting is fairly mundane, I would say the monetary aspect of it is what makes it interesting. You'll need to know your monsters and your equipment to excel at it. The graphics are decent compared to other 3d mmorpgs. It should be getting a major graphics lift hopefully in the next year. They are also looking to introduce new planets, which to me, seem like individual MMOs within another MMO, where they might be related to the characters' skill/equipment... to what extent, I'm not sure. You can also own property, houses are cheap, but land areas, which can be used to tax other players who hunt/mine on your property, cost about 20 grand(It's so expensive it's probably not worth mentioning) . It's such a high price because this is what other players will pay for it, the land is completely virtual and doesn't have any fixed monetary value.
Personally, I like this game because of the freedom it gives me. There are no skill caps, so anything I do, I feel like I'm progressing. The economy of the game is very interesting too... there are some opportunities shall we say. Anyways, it's a game to keep your eye on at least, some interesting things will happen to it in the next year, I believe.
