I don't know if it's still active, but someone had resurrected Toontown Online a couple years back. It was fun to go revisit that for a little bit.

Ragnarok Online? there are tons of private servers. MuhRO or MindRO are great for instance.

Ones ive played on and liked,

Marvel Heroes - Project TAHITI server. Its a Diablo MMO with Marvel characters. Game was shut down years ago, but since then has been revived by the community. Project TAHITI is the best server, but there will be a wipe coming when it hits 1.0

Phantasy Star Online - Ephinea server. This one gets mentioned alot, and its really good. Player base isnt huge, but you can almost always get people joining to do runs. Theres even events going on too. Controller strongly suggested.

Final Fantasy XI - Eden server. Got all the way to max level on this server. Its classic FFXI, but theres still plenty to do and level. The game is very grindy, and it can be hard at times to find people, but eventually people will join you to do the content, just takes patience.

Monster Hunter Frontier Z - Rain Frontier server. MHFZ was a Japan only MMO, it was shut down, since then the community has translated it and started hosting private servers. I havnt spent a whole lot of time playing on Rain, but its got a active community, theres announcements on the discord almost daily about updates or events.

EverQuest - Project 99 server a classic server for EQ, and plays much like classic FFXI, so expect very grindy, group focused content. I only spent 2 weeks on this server, but it was active the further i got. But im a FFXI baby, and EQ while being very similar, is far too clunky in comparison for me.

I remember playing this and thinking it was pretty fun, this a good to see. Thank you for the heads up.

It's not a fan server but Guild Wars 2 doesn't have monthly fees or P2W and it pretty fun for the money. There's also usually a sale on the expansions a couple times a year so you can get it fairly affordably if you like it. The original core game is also just free to play.

Aion has got fan servers floating around. I was drawn to their mech class which is pretty unique in the MMO landscape but it doesn't make the button rotation MMO style combat any less of a slog. There are a variety of servers out there since the files for hosting have been around for awhile. These are mostly deserted with pops of ~100 online at best.

City of Heroes has some servers that are pretty active for fan hosting. I was able to find other players to do content with even at the earliest levels.

I haven't tried it but I know Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine fan servers are floating around out there but again, expect low playercounts and to basically do everything solo.

I played /v/scape for awhile, it's Old School Runescape stuck in an outdated version. I saw ~30 people online at a time pretty consistently, and there's global chat so it doesn't feel so empty all the time.

Finally, there's World of Warcraft: Ascension. It's classless WoW where you build your own classes, level by level, picking what abilities and traits you want from the existing classes with some entirely new abilities, talents, and traits thrown in for flavor. I liked this for letting me fulfill the fantasy of a playable necromancer class as their version of Control Undead works more like hunter taming.
