Who would win?

[boboyo]

If...

WoW
EQ2
Ultima Online
Lineage 2
and
Age of Conan were all free?

Who would win?

[xXxRyaNxXx]

lineage 2 for sure

[Stranger]

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.

[Coldcut]

WoW for sure, more people pay for it then any other MMO so...

[darknight55]

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...

[kingdomhold]

i say WoW because i did the free trial and found it most entertaining! i think flying mounts are also a grand idea in that they give a scope of just how gigantic the area of the game really is. i think, they all win, blizzard has the money to make WoW free and NC can definitely make at least one of its games truly free... i think an AVP game would win hands down! either that or an elderscrolls game, but i digress. btw i love your "you shall not pass!" sig theiri have a stop sighn on my block that says "stop voldemort" on it

[Unplayed]

the one i'd definitely play is EQ2 ... the combat system is interesting and there are lots and lots of classes

[Mordar]

AoC by a vast margin, if WoW and L2 attracts kids because they have "pvp", AoC has boobs, blood/gore and PvP, that's a win right there

[XD12125]

Wow. But lineage 2 is on par. Both are great games.. but i'd rather pay for RO :o

[DEMON]

I would win.

Agreed, it is the players who would really win.

[UnchosenOne]

I would find that WoW would be more adaptable to a mature audience by experience, yet it does take it's wide share of children that every Free MMO has at the moment.

[lumyn]

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.

[Zato2p2o]

WoW 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.

[beanpaste]

maple story would win

[KaPiTaL SiN]

do bears shit in the woods?

L2 for sure.

[Anrick]

do bears shit in the woods?

L2 for sure.

I think they shit on the Earth... it would hurt their asses to shit on a wood... Damn, thank God I aint a bear, thats why they are so agressive and such...




L2 would win tho.

[Jrgsubzero]

Yeah, i'd probably ditch my L2 P.server and move to retail if it was free. They're getting an exp boost wih the Gracia update anyway.

Until then they go free (which they won't) *Huggles his P.server*

[elazulblack]

WoW.

I would say AoC, but not many peoples' computers could run it. At least, not as many.

Dirty, diiiiirty girl

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.

[Anrick]

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".

[Jrgsubzero]

L2 is a ROUGH place

Quoted for truth. Most of my friends just get to 30 and quit. If even that. One of my friends got PK'd everytime he left town. No clue why. I rarely get pk'd and so do my other friends. Poor, poor him.

Yea, but one thing is being under 18 and managing to get your hands on the game(buying it)

Other thing is having the game to be free, but still under that rating ;P

Anyone can buy the game and hand it to a 12 old kid.

[MoonSoul]

The kid still needs that anyone lol

Besides, most grown ups are stuck up with the ideas that games **** kids up, so it could be hard.

Mmmm.. So buying AoC from stores and selling em higher for 12 year olds can make me some profit..

Hehe. Imma be rich. Hey, dont steal my idea!
