lineage 2 for sure
WoW.
I would say AoC, but not many peoples' computers could run it. At least, not as many.

WoW
Age of Conan
Lineage 2
EQ2
Ultima Online
How I see it anyway, based on no personal preference because I don't like any of them all that much.

WoW for sure, more people pay for it then any other MMO so...
I would say... Lineage2.
Once a game goes F2P, lots of kids will join in an ruin it. And Lineage2 has good graphics + open pvp to solve kid-problems...
WoW or AoC. Maybe L2 but L2 already has too many illegal alternatives with all the kiddies on them. Are they gonna leave their 30x server for the official server? Don't get me wrong WoW has those alternatives too but they're really buggy, not scripted properly, barely anything works, etc or so I've read.

Reputation: 8WoW would win by far. They have the biggest subscribers now, and they'd stay more than likely if it went F2P, plus gain a lot more (players).
L2 = No way, not EVERYONE plays on a private server because they can pay or don't want too. Some play just because they don't like the grind. And the grind in L2 IS hard. Sure it would be popular, as if it was a new game going into open beta, but it would soon be deserted, back the way it was before, and I can guarantee you they won't leave their high rate server for official. Example: RF Online
AoC = I'm sure a lot of people would play it if it went F2P, but not everyone has a super computer to play it on.

L2 for sure.

wait, what's wrong with saying comfort?
Anyway, you're right
WoW or AoC would win, why?
No one would trade their alternative server rates for retail's rates, no one sane that is(not even with the Gracia exp boost methods tbh)
WoW is easier to get into and lets face it, L2 is a ROUGH place
AoC, even tho I always thought that it would have a terrible community due to his PvP nature(?) seems to be a land of "peace" and all kids would want to try it, even if not only to break the +18 "rule" and watch some C cups and higher.
Quoted from House, works for AoC:
"Why does this thing requires being 18+ when all you gotta do is to click, "Yes, I am older than 18"? Even Seventeens can do that".

WoW. I mean,if people are paying now alot of money for WoW right now,imaine if it was free. It will be lagg-otastic
Man I still didnt find the fun part in world of warcraft
I played retail and private server
ok the mounts(wow a saber or a noob dragon)
In linage2 you can have real Dinos that really looks like a dino and not some retarted looking animal
The pvp in world of warcraft is lame
in lineage 2 the pvp is epic
I played Lineage 2 x35 private server( with 3 servers all with 1500 players)
I was really addicted to that server it still took a lot of time to get 50+ but with all those dungeons it was really amusing because your Dino can fight to Yes and it has a level 2
Castle Siege is just Epic Wyverns(Big flying dragons Yes they are mounts) are flying all over the place
The new Areas that just came out are epic.
I would say Lineage 2 for sure if you get lvl 60+ World of warcrap cant compete to that
Reputation: 8This isn't a discussion on which game you think is better based on your personal experiences, you only say Lineage 2, because THAT'S THE GAME YOU WOULD PLAY if they happened to go F2P, because apparently you had the most fun on L2.
I'm not trying to bash on L2, but it's just a cold hard fact that WoW would win with its already HUGE playerbase.
EDIT:
... Again: This isn't a discussion on which game you think is better based on your personal experiences.
They all would lose because they would be out of money sooner or later since they don't support a f2p business model...
Lineage 2 and Everquest 2 would win cause I could see it opening up a cash shop or something...
Ultima = insta loss (for me don't say anything...)
I don't see WoW doing it though cause if you look at the reason why people are so addicted to it is the gear.
If it set up a shop it would be dumb because they can't sell equipment or exp boosters because what would be the point of playing if you could buy your gear plus the exp boosters or anything to enhance gameplay would result in loss...
EQ2 and L2 may win if they rework their content a bit but I would say L2 out of the two.
