Are you on Steam? If so toss me your username. Can see about some sort of muckabout server thing for Minecraft then, though I selectively run my server so it wouldn't be something I'd leave on all the time.
I'd take the eve-o forums with a pillar of salt. That said there's a lot of valid concerns there, but it's like finding a diamond in the pigmuck.
AO does do something things very right, yes, which is why it held me for so long and why I'm not completely severing my ties with it. At this point, however, only the release of the new engine, rebalance and new player experience will make me want to login to take a good look.
In the case of Rift, I avoided the rush to endgame so I could focus on doing everything that you could do beforehand. Sadly many folks I played with were in the initial rush to hit the end so I got a bit left behind, and when they burned out of raiding and moved on I still hadn't got there yet. I'll do a Rift write-up soon.
