So far the only one that has come close to it is LOTRO... and look what's still going strong.

I'm also with this same mindset. I like to see something is going the distance before I commit. I played LOTRO in open beta, and to be honest, I really didn't expect it to last. It was extremely buggy, the combat system felt clunky, but the quests were involved and gave an immersion not in other games. At that time, I wasn't looking for immersion or RP, I wanted to kill stuff and raid.
.... long story short. After breaking from WoW this last time, I gave LOTRO another shot and found it to be a great game. The combat is much smoother than it was in beta, the bugs are squashed, and the immersion/RP factor is even better than I had remembered.
I may try out Aion, but I'll wait for the trial as well.
