There is no alternative to Vanguard on the market, and no MMO that meets my minimum requirements (probably something like: great classes, great dungeons, good high-ish challenge level, good group play).
It has all been downgraded and simplified to hell.
So I rotate through my other hobbies now.
You are correct, there are obviously games with more polish but none with the size / depth and complexity of Vangaurd. The classes were staggeringly fun and complex to play, nothing even comes close. I like you should of stopped trying to find a suitable replacement, because there is none, but still I dabble in MMO after MMO only to be bored and disappointed after a short time.
I listen to audio books at work all day, while typing away. I could catch up on Movies/TV shows more, but meh, GoT made me want to swan dive off The Wall. Video games are my favorite hobby.
My problem is there are too many good games that I should play, already bought and waiting for me in my backlog. While at the same time, I keep rotating through my usual suspects...
I would assume that you mean Fallout 76 and that your excitement might have died down a bit at this point.
Though the amount of bugs that Fallout 76 has amusingly reminded me a lot of how many bugs Vanguard had at release.
There's always EverQuest Next don't give up hope.

I guess this thread lives on 5 years later.
I pretty much left mmorpg scene entirely and am doing single player RPGs since there is still creativity and good game design there.
Mmorpgs haven't innovated much in the past 20 years and also they ve gotten abandoned by the large studios.
But mostly I just cant stand to run the stupid irrelevant quests anymore and talk to irrelevant dumb NPCs anymore in a world full of other players that are doing the same 20 year old kill, fetch and run back and forth from NPC to npc clicking on boring dialog choices that don't make any difference in the end.
