Any playable(not utter garbage) mmorpg came out recently?
I dont want to play games which are out for years and everyone has full chars,i prefer to lvl up with others,enjoy low lvl content etc.
But i dont want a game which most likely closes in a few month or clicking games,browser games,cartoon games.
Is there any what you would recommend?

I would say that since the buy to play shift in ESO, its probably the game with the most new players in it at the moment, the game has a pretty solid player base so im sure it will be around for awhile.
If you dont like any of the new MMORPGs out there maybe give Smite a try, its a 3rd person action moba, and its probably the most fun game ive played.
With the metas shifting all the time and the skill of many players, it never gets old for me, its like playing a sport, even though its the same game over and over, theres always room for improvement and its always a challenge.
Theres also a few different game mode which are alot of fun, the game is pretty big and the competitive scene in it is growing fast.
It completely depends on what type of game you are looking for. If you are looking for an oldschool hardcore MMORPG, you will not find one that has been released in a stable state everything seems to just be in early access, or under a giant paywall to get access to it in an early state.
If you are looking for a themepark game, there are plenty that have come out recently that are really fun. FFXIV is what I am currently playing as my main MMORPG, it has a large population, and a lot of fun content but it can get really old really fast if you don't like to repeat content. Guild Wars 2 is B2P and has a healthy active community and is pretty enjoyable. Same thing with ESO, although ESO tends to have a bigger community as of right now because of the recent B2P conversion, and will get even bigger upon launch on the consoles. If you are okay with a low population Wildstar is still pretty fun, but it lost a lot of people since launch.
In FF14 ARR,
which is a great game for me, you will always find player to lvl up or zone to lvl up with other 50 who are doing they quests and they have to do dj or quest which are as well played by low lvl but for other purposes, aka top gears quests.
It is designed in a way that not a single place is geting empty, and dj are cross server for each zone; EU, US and Asia.
This games never sleeps and I loved it.
Get prepare for first add-on on june 2015
Greeting from Hydranya Tinwe, Cerberus, eu.
GW2 would be my recommendation for the time being (note that I haven't played ESO).
High level characters get downleveled when visiting lower level areas (they're still a bit stronger than regular level apropiate characters, though) and receive rewards based on their level, so that plus the daily achievements that send players to lower level maps, the meta events (big boss events) in almost every map and the megaserver system makes it so you usually meet people in most maps as it is.
A word of warning, a new expansion will come "soon" which will probably be mostly (if not all) meant to be done by level 80 characters, but it's probably still several months away (no date announced yet) which means you'd have plenty of time to level one or a few characters up before then.
What can men do against such reckless hate?
EQ is starting up a new progression server.
Everyone starts new characters on an equal footing.
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.

Until the way we play the games changes (technology, hardware etc) there will always be these types of games being released and you will more or less get the same experience from these games.
An example would be Virtual Reality. This technology changes the way we perceive the game and how we play it. With that being said, the way we experienced the played games changes. Hopefully it's a good change.
Until then you will be stuck playing these types of MMOs that are currently being released. The games are basically copies and reskins of already implemented media and gaming concepts.
I have been searching for a new/interesting experience from MMOs lately and I find they all give the same feeling. I guess I got bored of this.
Looking forward to VR technology.
Today most new MMOs can't do really new feature but small adjustments to what have been in other games. There are some upcoming games that may interest you.
I won't recommend Heroes of the Storm or FFXIV because there will be not data wipe anymore which mean there are lots of people in these games are in max level.
Here are several new MMOs you may like to check out.
Tree of Life. A sandbox survival MMO with deep building, crafting system. Coming later this month.
Dragon Nest Labyrinth. Dragon Nest's mobile version. If you like action or cute game.
Forsaken World Mobile. Forsaken World's mobile version. If you like grinding game with mount system. Coming this month.
Shadowrun Chronicles. Not strictly an mmo but a tactical rpg you can play with friends. Tons of gear and skills.
Tree of Life
Interesting. That game completely flew under my radar.
I might check it out
The issue the OP brings, about games that have been out there for a long time and are full of maxed chars is an inherent problem of the genre that wants MMOs to survive for quite a few years. It is something that can't be solved, cause even if the developer rolls new servers, new clases, new whatever, worth for people to roll new toons, the problem is still there, cause all that new toons will be played from OLD, experienced players. These players will be getting like 3x times the XP a new player would get with that same character, cause they know where to go and quest/kill etc, they know what to avoid, who to group with, they know the dungeons, they know everything... the toon is new, but the player is old/experienced. The global chats will be full of jargon and terms the new player will have no idea about. A new player in such an environment feels kinda alienated and lost. Take any old game and you will see the pattern there.
So it's not about levels - you might have a maxed character, and still being a "noob", and at the same time, an experienced player rolling some low level alt. It's the experience gap between the players, not the characters, that is problematic.
Its getting harder to keep going back to EQ and its clonies....Once acceptable graphics are now far outdated and the animations are even worse...I liked the EQ games at one time but no way can I recommend them in 2015.
