Stardew Valley, but I'll go back and play farming sims I played when I was younger too even if they're much more limited and clunky! I grew up with Harvest Moon 64 and Friends of Mineral Town, so those titles are nostalgic. I also like Harvest Moon DS Cute and Rune Factory 3.
Ragnarok Online is also a fluffy nostalgia blanket and way back in the day I played on the official iRO servers and then on a good low rate private server for a while. But I've accepted I will probably never play this again and it will remain a nice memory, because present day private servers are just kind of a mess - they'll pop up like daisies and then die soon after, they're all 1000x rate and people hit the level cap in a couple of days and just spend their days using it as a glorified chatroom while doing occasional PvP.
I'm glad someone else mentioned Ultima Online! But I would personally put it in the same basket with Ragnarok Online up there - I've tried a few shards over the years and none of them compared to the experience of playing the original game, so I think it will stay a memory. The few private servers I tried were really funny, basically 100% population of really nice middle-aged housewives who spent a lot of the time chatting and playing interior designer.

Diablo 2, .hack//IMOQ, Chrono Trigger, Ultima Online
Diablo 2 Resurrected lately, they did a good job with it and I personally love it on the switch, exactly what I wanted back in 2000! The original .hack// series has always held a special place in my heart, i bought them as they came out and I used to imagine being in the world a bunch when I was in early high school. Chrono Trigger is just so awesome. Ultima Online was my first true love in video games and Ill still come back to it from time to time (private pre-aos shards).
