EverQuest is the next legacy MMO to get the "classic" treatment after WoW Classic and Old School RuneScape, but with a genius twist: it knows all of us olds don't have time for MMOs anymore (www.gamesradar.com)

This. I switched to GW2 from FFXIV and WoW and the difference is great. Just the fact that you have like 15 years of content that's actually still relevant, no subscription and I can just drop it for another 5 years and get back without missing anything I can slowly experience and catch up on is great. Also, they actually do interesting stuff with i.e movement and exploration that I haven't seen anywhere else.

Returned to WoW to play a new expansion with friends, and it sucks. I missed two weeks of launch and I'm so behind on gear there's a chance I won't be able to keep up with my guild's progression unless I farm almost nonstop, which after chilling in GW I don't really want to do, so I'll probably just drop it.

And if you want something more classic, there's GW1 Reforged now.

Huh? WoW gearing is easy as hell this season. Yeah it's not 2 hours until max level but there's more easy ways than ever to get good gear. Hell, you can get a piece of the second highest level armor every week doing solo content

Some friends convinced me to try GW2 and I had the opposite experience. Everyone had all their fancy mounts and stuff from past expansions and I couldn't do shit unless I went back and did the relevant campaigns...each of which is several hours. I got close to max level and quit. The combat is also painfully boring IMO

Depending on what you think of the combat (however it is getting reworked eventually.. apparently), ESO is another really good horizontal progression MMO which I've poured thousands of hours into over the years

EDIT: Although haven't played for a bit over a year now, can blame WoW for that
