It's not perfect, and has its issues. But I've become quite fond of this one:

I wouldn’t recommend an mmo if your looking for quality, they kinda have to be dulled down to support the scale

Really depends on what you are looking for. ESO, FF14, and SWTOR have great stories. WoW in mythic+ and heroic (and mythic) raiding are mechanically more challenging than most single player games (although a big part of the challenge is coordination between players). Warframe (if you want to ♥♥♥♥ it as MMO) has probably one the best traversal mechanics of all time. Runescape is an absolute horror for completionists and will keep you occupied for a long long time. GW2 and DAOC have great PvP experiences (WvW/RvRvR).
And finally there is EVE. If you call that dulled down, you probably play Hearts of Iron and the like on a toilet break. :P

Recommending an MMO can only truly have one answer: what are you looking for in a game?

TBH there really isn't a lot "BEST" MMOs with lot of people as the TOP well known MMOs, but if want can consider trying other games that PVE/PVP games such as Warframe lots of people, and it's cross platform with cross save progression which is one of the best F2P models I seen for many years that hold it spot for long time.

Anyways I would say try out Elder scrolls online maybe, or maybe Star Wars: The Old Republic. Guild Wars 2, or Black Desert Online, not sure if they float your boat.

There's a few on the horizon but they are mostly a shadow of a dream, if you never played
Ultima Online, give it a shot, its still one of the best MMO's ever made, or you could be able to get something from runescape or albion online.

I second ultima online. That or runescape classic version.

Eldar Scolls online is ok, fallout 76 is pretty good too, but Bethesda are masters at getting you invested to the point you need to make compromises or pay.
Not a problem if you aren't a hoarder.

Honestly the MMO genre is just dead. Gaming culture is too different from what it used to be. Back during the height of games like WoW you could have a real community, say whatever you wanted, joke, and have fun. Nowadays MMO's are policed more then the steam forums where most people are just too afraid to even speak in fear of getting banned. Aside from that the genre doesn't respect your time and is the equivalent of having a second job you don't get paid for.
