[POLL] What game would you play if all MMORPGs were free to play?

Lets pretend that all MMORPGs on the market are completely free to play going forward. No box price, no subscription fees, no cash shop, no advertisements... no monetization period. What MMORPG would you play as your main game? For the purpose of this poll, main game means the one in which you spend the most time playing on weekly basis. I'm simply curious what game people on this site feel would entertain them the most if money was not a consideration.
Since there are only 10 options in a poll, I tried to include the most popular games (according to this site). If you select 'Other', please feel free to include your game choice in a reply to the thread.

Probably Ultima Online. The game is a shell of it's former greatness, but I would still play it. It's just not worth a subscription in it's current state.
Currently Playing: DAOC Uthgard
Previously Played: UO, DAOC, Shadowbane, AC2, SWG, Horizons, COX, WOW, EQ2, LOTRO, AOC, WAR, Vanguard, Rift, SWTOR, ESO, GW2.
Probably none. I don't care if its' f2p or p2p I just care if it's fun.
I've played most of those games and left, making them f2p would not change why I left them. They just ceased to entertain me. The ones I didn't just didn't have anything to interest me.
You forgot to put in a NONE option. I hate f2p games, I hate the buying of power whether its weapons or experience or some new clever marketing scam. I hate that the entire game revolves around trying to get you to spend money. Lastly I hate that not everybody is on a level playing field. I will gladly pay $15 a month to have full access and a level playing field in a good game.
So yeah...... F playing f2p games period they all suck.

Ulitma Online and Dark Age Of Camelot.
I pay to play Rift right now.
*If cash shop never happened*
Maaan there could be some amazing games out there right now.
All that wasted energy on cash shops now transformed to something useful,what could it be.
Anarchy Online, we are just invading aliens home planet,heres some new city spots!!
SWTOR,this water is quite warm,come on while sun is still shining, dont just sit there and drink those Margaritas.
I would be playing most likely many MMOs.
Let's internet
If all MMOs are F2P, why don't i just play each a little and see what i like, and decide what i play depends on my mood.
There is no point choosing one over another now.
None. (because i have played mostof those)
As i think about your question, i can't think of any released mmorpg that i actually want to play. I then realized that the sub or box barrier is actually not a problem for me to play a mmorpg. Well, if the future mmorpg are all completely free, i will, of course, try all of them.

I've never heard of that game. How is it? (seriously)
EDIT: Personally I picked EVE just because I'm a slow ISK earner to get Plex.

Dark Age of Camelot
I picked TSW.
Business model does't matter, the game does. Although f2p games tend to carry the payment model into the game itself.
The poll needs multi select though, I also play EVE and AO
Most of the MMOs that I liked well enough have already gone F2P. And my current MMO I will primarily play, Planetside 2 is F2P.
Having any MMO become F2P doesn't make it automaticly more appealing.
all the same games i'm playing now. cost is not prohibiting me from playing any MMO.
(EQ2, TSW, LoTRO, EVE sometimes)

I think you missed the point of his question.
He is asking what if all games were free to play, not necessarily a f2p style game.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
