TL; DR I'm looking for a decent game, preferably adventure(/RPG), preferably Mac compatible, that is preferably either free to download, has a free demo, or some similar deal (if it's not free, then I can probably spring a few bucks, but only on a really awesome recommendation...). I've already played Minecraft, Terraria, and Dungeons and Dragons Online to the extent that I'm going to.

A little over a month from now, I'm going to be moving 4/5 timezones away. I do still need to get a job and such lined up there, but there's not a whole lot I can do about that when it's ~2pm here and everyone there is already home for the day. As such, for the remaining 8-12 hours I'm awake beyond that point, I need to find something to waste my time on.
I recently played Minecraft, but don't have the inspiration/motivation to build much beyond the little hut I usually go with. I expected the recent update to contain more "adventure" content such that I could really see some value in continuing a game past exploring the first big cave I find, but that got pushed back a patch (so it might not even come out before D3).
Frustrated with the lack of adventure, I switched over to Terraria. In Terraria, I found the exact opposite extreme: Lots of great adventure content, but not a whole lot to do back at home. There's also something of a grind factor involved, too, since it takes so much time just to make basic stuff. You basically go through all this for the sake of upgrading your gear to the top levels and then play interior decorator until you get bored. What's more, with the current patch of Terraria, the mid-game content is kinda screwy. The difficulty makes significant jumps from surface to caves to corruption, making it difficult to get into the game for the first time.
When I started getting bored with Terraria, I read a thread on here, remembered an old DDO account I had, and started playing that again. That said, soloing in DDO gets really boring really fast, and the party-oriented content in DDO is, I dare say, vastly inferior in quality to WoW. I know, DDO is free and all, but it came out a couple years after WoW. They should, at least, be able to come close in terms of quality content to WoW, but they really don't. The game is "free" only in the sense that you can get everything for free if you play the game CONSTANTLY, and most of the higher-level content is only unlockable through this horrible grind process, and judging from what I see on the forums, the end-game content might even be worse than what I'm doing now.
