I think Myz's idea is the best. Take all the game suggestions and just go read up on them.
Contrary to the name Guild Wars 2 (it is a reference to the previous game and the history that shaped the world) does not require you to be part of a guild. It is more of a social group which allows you to easily get access to people if you need company or help with something. You can play almost the whole game on your own and if you don't want to pick up a guild you can use the lfg (looking for group) system to pick up a quick party for quests that require a group. It has a persistent world (the game is constantly changing). There is a bunch of events that are on a cycle but then others that follow the Living Story that causes the world map to change permanently and those events are accessible for only a certain period of time.
The game has tonnes of casual players and gear and loot is easy to come by (just some smart gaming required). You can customize your character (height, weight, face type, hair, ens) after choosing from 5 different races. There is lots of different armours and weapons and since the skin update you collect skins and then can reapply them easily to a new weapon or armour received. You can also redye all your armour pieces (sadly no weapons and you have to use gold to redesign your character)
Hehe, I wrote too much now, but it helps you to get an idea of what gw2 is and if it is a game you can consider. I fell in love with it because it is a really visually appealing game with realistic combat and cool races (not your normal elf, orc, dwarf types)
