First I'm going to tell you about the browser based MMORPGs, then I'll mention somewhere you can see the downloadable.
To play games in flash, there are Dragon Fable and Adventure Quest (In both you have to pay to have full access to the game, and notice that Dragon Fable is still under construction and that it's hard for non-members to login into AQ). There are also those community based flash games (that some people consider to be MMORPGs) that are becoming really popular: Gaia Online (that I already played and that is really cool), ClubPenguin, PuzzlePirates, and i think that Habbo goes the same way; in all of this games you create an avatar and play games like fishing to get money and personalize those avatars.
There’s also the pure browser based ones: Tibia is a fairly popular game, BiteFight and Knightfight are OK. Travian is a strategy MMOG, also pretty good. There’s also pokemon crater (but it has a lots of publicity) and, my personal favorite, FallenSword (it’s much like pokemoncrater, only that it doesn’t have lots of publicity, and has a guild system that stimulate interaction, not to mention the lottery and the auction system).
The downloadable... well, i think it's harder to speak about them. I'll also give you a link for the "List of free MMORPGs" on wikipedia, where you can see the downloadable games out there (in this list you can read about other browser based MMORPGs as well). Take a look at the websites and check the screenshots, maybe you'll find some that interest you. My favorites are MapleStory, Anarchy Online, Monsters and Me, Flyff and Silk Road. Seems like Rappelz is also pretty good.
See you.
I'm still waiting with expectation for the day when we see some sort of d20 adventure module or a new style RPG “published on the internet” in TiddlyWiki.
I've played 2 of the three games you mentioned (FFxlll and darksiders) and although they put up a challenge at some points in the game, they weren't the hardest game i've ever played. I think that once they allowed games the ability to "save" a game, they have made games a bit harder for the gamers, which is fine because if you pay 60 bucks for a game and it's so easy that you beat it in 3 hours, your going to be pissed. plus, there's some sense of pride once you beat a game that has a record of being hard. once i beat ninja gaiden on the xbox and when back to gamestop for another game, they looked at me as if i was unhuman and wanted to hear my testimony on how i did it. to a gamer that has been playing games for years, were just glad that we don't have to leave the system on overnight to save our spot in the game anymore. beating ghouls n' ghost only to find out that you have to beat in again and find the princess's ring if hard. darksiders is a walk in the park compared to that.
