    I guess i would agree on FFXI.. it got enough content to keep one busy, and with FF14 in the start holes its gonna take a hit to the population anyway, sure there would still be enough, but as far as i know a lot of people dont play it cus there are no prepaids etc.

    Dunno how the cashshop would work tho.

    Well.....any game to go P2P to F2P would never happen first of all because thats the whole point of P2P: they want to clean our wallets

    since thats no fun.....if any game, i would choose ether FFXI, Eve, or Aion.

    notice i pick games with epic graphics and good gameplay :]
    well thats my opinion

    P2P games would probably deteriorate if they became f2p. I know it sucks if you want to play a certain game but cannot afford it.
    I played f2p MMOs for years before I started FFXI. I can honestly state that after playing a p2p MMO for such a long time I do not intend to try f2p games again. Community is usually SO much better in a p2p game, regular updates, better balancing.
    P2P games have also actually saved me money as I always tended to buy cash shop items. So the monthly fee I pay is actually way less than I used to spend in f2p games.

    You're right and wrong. There are P2P MMOs that went F2P, but not al lot.

    Eve online.

    Although it is in some way legit f2p, you still need to get to that point where you're able too. >_<

    AoC I suppose.

    The community on my server (pvp) couldn't really get much worse as it is, I kind of like it that way, trash talk is fun.

    None really.

    FFXI being Free to Play would ruin the community, plus a cash shop or anything like that would also kill the game.
    And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear.

    You shout and no one seems to hear.

    Truth.
    Although, sometimes it's go F2P and die.

    Only P2P game I'd want to for F2P is Warhammer.
    Best case scenario, it'd get a higher population and be somewhat fun to play again thanks to more players for PvP; worst case scenario, the game dies out and I'm not bothered because the game is basically dead to me in it's current state anyways.

    Win/win, IMHO.
