My exams are close to end, and i'll have a little time enough to play on my laptop, so... I want to try something different, funny, entertainment and original.
I have been researching on the MMORPG list, Youtubin' them and so far for those:
RappelzCabal So, tell me in your own opinion in which game should i spend my time and why. Hopefully, this will help any other people who may like those game listed. You may mention another game, but my priority are those.

If you're willing to pay, then Aion by FAR. If not, then all of those mmos are huge grindfests as far as I've played. And Knight online is just total trash, not even worth mentioning.
Download the client from gamershell.com as the others are either corrupt or not complete, furthermore the downloading program that they supply is slow. And make sure you follow the directions for registration in this link:
From that rappelz ( even though i havnt played it ) I didnt like cabal, maps are relativly small, quests repeat, and it gets boring after like level 10 imo.

I haven't played Rappelz so i can't say much about it. But Cabal is great if you are all about flashy looks and cool looks. Leveling is mostly grinding, but i can't say how easy/hard it is because when i played cabal, it was in a private server.
let it gooooo let it gooooOoOooOOOOOO
Let her suck my pistol She open up her mouth and then I blow her brains out
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Don't, just don't. Shaiya, Rappelz, Perfect World, and Cabal all blow.
Shaiya: Terrible, just terrible. You have to play the game twice to unlock hard mode, which means you have to train 3x as long as normal mode (which you have to level to 40 and then start the **** over) and the quest system is horrendous. You run half across a map (literally half way, one half of a Farking big map) to get 30 (not a typo) xp. With a broken quest system you have to grind, um... yeah, don't do that. Grinding is hell even with a party. As for pvp, since I didn't level that much I went low and semi-mid level pvping. It is not as good as all those crap online reviews tell you, it's terrible. Low level = 4 hit KO, high level = 2 hit KO, mid level = 6 hit max unless you're a defender class, then you can have, again literally not a hyperbole, 15 people slamming arrows and spells down your throat and survive with just one priest healing you. Of course defenders have crap damage since they tank like God. If you can't tell, the classes are really not balanced at all. Graphics aren't that great, spells are kinda flashy but it's not as good as the hype. NOT worth your time.
Cabal: Looks really good at high levels but it's the same stale crap over and over. Out of the 4 I mentioned, also in your two, play this. It's completely broken at high levels (from what I've read) but it's fun at the beginning. The PvP is fun at mid level (low-mid since I didn't play for that long, gogo powerleveling) and you'll have fun for maybe 2 weeks...
Rappelz: Oh god no. Tutorial island was fun for all of 6 minutes. The spells looked pretty and the damage numbers were flashy, you get a pet and a mount really quickly and you see people spamming globals (or w/e they're called) to give the illusion people actually play this game. However, the second you're off that island and enter your first city to do what they call 'quests'. Imagine silkroad but instead of kill x, you have to kill x, y, and z in three different locations making you run all over the place. And you don't move onto new cities for a long time. The good part is the spawn rate, monster spawn is instantaneous, which is great if I wasn't having so much fun running across maps trying to find the same monsters over and over and over and over and over again. Yeah, you fight the same monsters for the quests. x, y, and z are random, it gets old after a few quests. But I stuck it in there, powered to 50, got my second job, and checked our their PvP. It's hell, first the game doesn't get more fun at 50+, you just sit in a dungeon all day. Like dungeons? Don't play Rappelz cause they'll ruin the image of dungeons for you forever. You sit there and fight the same crap over and over and go room to room without anything exciting or unexpected or surprising that makes you go in the part chat "OH SH%$!!! HEAL HEAL HEAL HEAL" or anything even close to that. Boss battles is just tank and spank, new bosses might as well be old bosses with one more spell and a new skin. Just don't.
Perfect World: Ugly characters, really really really ugly characters and exp rate is abysmal. It's a grindfest and having a part does not make the grind any more fun. Dunno at high level because I didn't want to stick it out to at least mid-range, got my share of crap free MMOs.
Playing Reqiuem: Bloodymare right now, it's alright even if the map and pathfinding is ridiculously bad and the quests insult your level if intelligence, as well as the skill system that destroys you for f*&@king up (much like SRO). But if you read the forums while the 2.2 gig dl runs in the background and plan your char a tiny bit, it's actually quite enjoyable. Of course, reading the forums also has the impending doom feeling where DJ and Sacc say level 35 means grindfest, but it can't be worse than the aforementioned games.

When did an MMORPG being a "grindfest" become a bad thing? Probably about 95% of MMORPGs are grindfests so I don't see why that should detract from the games. Most of the games listed so far lack any real game content so getting capped isn't necessary to have fun. Quests are pretty much the same whether you're playing a F2P game or P2P game. The only difference is P2P games tend to sugar coat it.
I suggest you try out Requiem and Cabal and see which one you prefer. The gore isn't too bad in Requiem. Based on the quality of content they have so far both of them are good enough to be P2P games in my opinion.

When the hours spent leveling exceeds hours spent having fun; this includes party time and chatting with friends while grinding, which does make it more bearable.
I copied from what Cpi wrote, and he edited his post lol
