Despite the difficulties of development during the 2020 pandemic lockdowns and beyond, Guild Wars 2 still remains as a contender for best MMO, in almost every metric - by far the best aspect of it is how it balances the content available to you, while also allowing you to play as little or as much as you want, due to a horizontal-progression based system. Your level and your equipment maxes out at 80, but there are so many viable variations and skins that there is always something to do, something to hunt for - and this has created an MMO who's players are largely supportive and eager to help out or group up with new players or old players who just havent been around to learn the ins-and-outs of particular sections of the game.

Would strongly recommend picking up the Heart of Thorns + Path of Fire expansion if you are curious, as that will provide you with a huge amount of content to work through - though it does miss out on not having Seasons 2 and 3 to provide deeper context to the start of each of the expansions.
