Trove. If you can get past the Voxel graphics, this game is by far one of the best MMO's on the market. You name it, this game has it, in a simplified and clunky blocky way.
GW2. While I personally cannot stand the way the went with the game, this does not make it any less a great game in it's own right.
BDO (Black Desert Online) Amazing Game, the graphics are outright enamoring, and there is so much to do, you can literally make your own fun here or ride the rails, it's all open to you, this game even has Ass Physics (given we spend 98.275% of our time staring at the back of our avatars, this is a nice touch).
DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online) Not for th Casual, this game forces you to think and play a full one game of planning ahead and being prepared, for Hardcore Boy Scouts and rabid D&D geeks that like 3.5 rules only. The graphics are old and dated, just like the 3.5 game rules it's based on.
Warhammer 40K Eternal Crusade. If you love the idea that no matter who wins a bunch of cheaters will lose, this is the Arena game for you.
I do play Wizard101 on occasion, but not often. Otherwise, I play old MMORPG emulators like P1999 (EQ).

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
Try a new genre, it may broaden ypur horizons. I went back to SC2 and i just downloaded fortnite as im bored of my main genres in MMO and ARPG
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
Trove. It's Voxel, told you that ahead of time.
GW2. (Guild Wars 2) I admit, Core Open World is pretty easy button. Very Casual kind of play, which is what makes it a very attractive game for that demographic. But if you are the kind of player that needs to get your ass beat by an NPC, I encourage you to get HoT and go run around, especially in Tangled Depths. Or if you feel the need to get a beat down by other players, GW2 can provide this as well, with WvW or sPVP game modes. There is no shortage of ways for you to get your ass kicked in this game, if that was what you were looking for.
BDO: (Black Desert Online) There is a lot more to this game than the combat. If that was all you did, you barely touched 1% of what the game can provide, but then again, given your comment about "Farming Simulator" it seems all you want to do run around and kill stuff. So, to be honest, BDO is most likely going to be far too deep and complex game than what you are looking for.
DDO: (Dungeons and Dragons Online) I told you this was not a casuals game, you don't walk into this game and get everything handed to you all nice and easy. While you can earn everything short of the expansions for free, you have to work for it or pay for it. This is not a game for weaklings, this is not the game for butterflies.
But given what you have said so far, that you are simply looking for fast battles and easy access content.
I am going to suggest you give WH40EC a try, and maybe check out Overwatch.
I saw Project 1999 mentioned once in this thread. That is an interesting case, however if you speak to the GMs and ask them whether they adhere to the policies of classic Everquest, they will tell you no they do not, they were too free for them. Hence... too sophisticated for them, they would rather ban players, than allow any kind of social systems to form.
If you think there is a massive audience anywhere for a slightly sophisticated online RPG it is likely an illusion. Depending how sophisticated you wish it to be you might count your fellow players on one hand truly.
Hence any kind of good days of MMORPGs were purely transient. The golden age of MMORPGs was probably 1995-1999.
After I left World of Warcraft in my 20s I played just enough MMORPGs after to realize 1) no good ones were coming, 2) most of the ones I had played in my 20s were not good, and 3) "classic" MMORPG servers were either a lot of hoopla, flawed in some way, or lacking the many hundreds of players needed for the game to function as it should.
But anyway here would be my list for the last surviving rays of hope in MMORPGs:
1) Old Tibia servers (maybe? my experience is limited)
2) Meridian 59 Classic servers (nearly empty though, and not truly classic)
3) Maybe a classic Ultima Online shard, but the main one I found distributed hacks with the client, and was nearly empty.
4) I have heard something about an Asheron's Call classic server, but never played it or know anything about the game. (from I have read, this looks like a bad idea. would probably have the same problem with Project1999 of poor admins)
5) Project 1999 (but the policies are the polar opposite of Everquest in 1999, I wouldn't spend a moment of my time on here, but I list it only for completion)

'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
