You follow a main storyline, and do quests that can be partied, but some quests have to be solo'd. And finding people to party with is easy. Just shout out what quest you are doing and people are always willing to help.
But, the only problem is the content of the game.
THERES NOT A WHOLE LOT OF IT!!!!!
I mean, the game is definetly for casual players. If you play the game everyday for a month, no doubt you will catch up to the very extent of the game. And once you hit like lv. 35, its very hard to lv up, mainly because theres no more quests for lv 35's +.
But, it is a very good game. They even just had a event where you can create your own demon. The event is over, but some lucky person had their own demons created which is cool. And they always have raffles and crap like that going on. And the GM's are pretty cool. Oh, and gear don't make a whole lot of difference(they kinda do if you want to be godly), so you can make your character look like anything. I was going for the luffy look, even though I was a mage.
Oh, and there is no class system, you just make your own build as you go along.

Making it a retarded game. If you level to 35 through quests and afterwards there's no more, they're basically saying "yea, we said it was quest-based, but we changed our minds, and by now you've spent a decent amount of time in this game, so suck it up and buy shit with real cash to level faster".

Final Fantasy XI
Guild Wars <--- all of the expansion packs are great

Might of missed a couple.

I don't believe that by looking for 'free to play' games he's looking for a 'pay to win' one.

dungeons and dragons unlimited is free may be worth a look still has some pay for content (certain characters and weapons/armour.) but dungeons can be solo'ed and repeated meaning armour/weapons are easy to obtain and there are some dungeons with puzzles.

actually Guild Wars isn't a "pay to win" game so to speak, you pay once and then you get the game forever, no monthly subscriptions and no additional buffs for players who pay more for some random "cash" item.

anyhows all of the story driven mmo's that i know of have been already stated beforehand, however may i add Star Wars the old republic as an upcoming mmo that's story driven, as well as Guild Wars 2 which builds on the Guild Wars mmorpg, details about the payment set up is unknown at present, but something to look forward to in the mmorpg industry I guess =P.

Good Luck finding an mmo that you're happy with ^_^
