EVE Online: Sci-Fi game. There is only one server, with roughly 20-30k people on it at one time. You fly a space-ship. That's the basics of the game. The backbone of the game is that it is one of the most in-depth games on the market. Beneath the surface is a world of politics, player ran corporations fighting to take control of the universe, a real economy driven by the players, full PvP, space pirates, mercenaries, mining corporations, and fleet warfare. It is a skill-based game. Instead of choosing a class from the start, you just choose a general area of skills, and then take whatever skills you want later on. Very steep learning curve, free-for-all PvP, quite possibly the most fun of any MMO I've played.
Good for casual players due to its XP-system (you set a skill to learn and it learns it for you, even while offline. There are several thousand skills though, and nobody in the game has them all, not even those who have played since its release) At the same time, good for hardcore players because the more effort you put in, the more it rewards you. Instead of killing for XP, you kill for ISK (money). You can gain ISK by mining, running missions, being a pirate and ransoming people, being in a mercenary corp where people pay you to fight their wars for them, etc.. very harsh world that will bite you in the ass if you aren't prepared. People will steal from you, kill you, etc.. as long as it was done using real in-game mechanics (and not exploits/glitches) it is completely legal.
Huge alliances made up of multiple corporations (guilds) will fight to control space, set up stations for mining moons, block access to their areas of space, and will have huge fleet wars to try to push the others out of space that they want. LOTS of different ships make for great variety.
