looking for a new rpg

Ok so I missed out online games for years due to the black hole of internet connections that is NZ. Now things have changed a little and I'm gaming online, currently playing wow because that's what my mates are playing. I kind of enjoy it, but get pissed off with the limitations. Then again I had a go at EVE, it was quite impressive (oh dear God I just spilt food on my tie) but I found it to be just too big for someone that doesn't have all that much time on their hands. From my brief experience with EVE I realised that playing with my mates, well at least just knowing that they had a character on that server, is why I'm still playing wow.

However to be honest I'm not really enjoying it all that much and want a change. So, I need a game that hasn't come out yet, as I'd rather not play a game where there is thousands of people that have already been playing for months, being able to tell me all the ins and outs of said game. I also need to be able to sell the concept to my mates.

As far as the length of games go, I think I quite enjoy wow for the fact that I can just come along and have a bash for a few hours without having to get too serious, in other words I'd expect a fairly highly ranked/leveled/experienced character in no more than 30 days game time and not have to spend all that long travelling a world. I would like a game with a world, i.e the idea of D&D doesn't excite me all that much.

In short, looking for a game that is-
*In development, so I can learn for myself.
*Is expected to be popular, so I can 'sell' it to my mates.
*Doesn't have huge game time.
*Oh, and isn't toooo ping dependant, I'm in aus and won't be expecting any game to have Australian server/s.
*Any genre, sci-fi/fantasy whatever is cool with me.

So if someone could reccomend some 'in-development' games for me to have a closer look at that would be great thanks.

What's the general opinion on Archlord? Saw a short review somewhere and thought the idea of an 'overall' leader was pretty cool.

    They need to think more about austrailian and eastern world players. I've never seen an MMO make servers for Austrailian players... I'm not from austrailia but I like the attitude and respect austrailians I've talked to give me. They're really nice people and it's such a shame to not see as many.
