Ragnarok Online was pretty great and you can still play it with private servers. This is a very chill game, mostly about the vibes and hanging out, you'll probably need a friend to enjoy this with because IDK if you'll get much out of it just grinding with random people. When you pick a private server you should probably find one with low exp rates, like 10x or less, if you've never played before.
Phantasy Star Online isn't really an MMO (it's pretty much a clone of Diablo except 3rd person and sci-fi) but it was heavily marketed as one. Grab the "Blue Burst" version for PC and play on a private server. You'll probably want to use a controller for it. This one you could play with randoms.
City of Heroes was awesome and it holds up today, but is only available on private servers.
CoH was so cool. I'm not typically a big MMO fan but that was definitely a good one. I did also play on the private server briefly when that came out. This thread was about pre-WoW though so it doesn't qualify.
CoH was released before WoW. In fact, WoW pretty much killed CoH. The servers went to full all the time to barely populated. I migrated over to WoW myself.
Holy crap that's surprising to me lol, CoH seems so advanced. I never got into WoW
