If I did play any, it'd be something like Eve or Puzzle Pirates - the others currently don't interest me because they contain so much grind, even if there is some nice social interaction and pleasant graphics.

EVE is kind enough to let the progress bars keep rolling when you are logged off, at least... Puzzle Pirates lets me grind even with a lapsed subscription, but it's also the very rare example of actual skill-based grinding.
