Played EVE for about a year a while back... the skills stuff was cool but it was damn near impossible for independants and tiny corps to mine (or even move) outside 0.6 without getting ganked to hell. Gave up once I realised we were going to have to buy all the top end minerals from the gankers for the forseeable future :/
Played Anarchy Online when it came out; got bored and gave up, but am now back playing it since they have a 100% free option (you just don't get the expansion content). We'll see how that goes, I'm really enjoying my character at the moment but I have a notoriously low boredom threshold...
Played Planetside for a good while with a bunch of total nutters, in the right company it's as much (or more) fun than Counterstrike. Not as twitch gamey as most FPSs, but battles involving 400 people plus vehicles can get truly epic. They also have a free trial for those that may be interested.
Played World of Warcraft for a good few months (part open beta, part retail) but got seriously bored at the constant grind and gave up. No idea if they have any free trial offers at the moment.
Other than that have also played the usual assortment of non-MMO games, FPSs, RPGs, RTSs etc. I still reckon Total Annihilation and Warzone 2100 are some of the most fun you can have while kicking 7 bells out of your opponents... I'm pretty much guaranteed to buy Supreme Commander on release
