Honestly Guild Wars if the best option imo. I play every now and then and every time I do play I always enjoy it. The great thing about that game is you don't have to spend an entire month nerding it out by playing 12 hours a day to get to the max lvl like you do in WoW. Guild Wars only goes up to level 20 so people can reach max level quick so that they can enjoy the game more. It actually takes skill in not just PvP, but in PvE as well. The GvG system (Guild v Guild) is tons of fun if you do it with people you know and there are lots of guilds out there that give new players free stuff to join so that helps a bit.
Story is excellent as well but honestly the best part is you don't have to pay a monthly fee. I think it's a better game than WoW and it only destroys your life, not your wallet, although I don't find either game very addicting anyway, i can only play about an hour at most before getting bored.
But if you want to get a game that'll be coming out in the near future, get GW2 and don't bother buying all 4 GW expansions. GW2 will be even better.
Or you can be a real man and go to your local gamestop tonight midnight and get SC2.
