I'll go with none. I have to be really, really bored to want to re-read the same book I enjoyed 10 years ago. Same with MMOs for me.
Give me a new one with interesting new things I haven't done exactly that way before and I'm happy.

None every game that is dead imo is not worth bringing back because i know NONE of them would receive the upgrade the need.Vanguiard is already a complete game and as good as most out there,however the market obviously doesn't want another Wow clone.
The focus as put out by that TGN guy has seemingly turned to pvp and imo that is a real cop out by developers,might as well admit you can't make meaningful content,so you just flag players for pvp.
There is a HUGE design flaw in almost every dead game and why they should remain dead.The two biggest flaws is not allowing me choice,i am not going to chase around yellow markers all game,no way in hell.The second is super FAKE worlds,just full of meaningless backdrops that you cannot touch or enter,just a simple model with a texture slapped onto it.
If you make a building in my game,i want that building to have doors and insides and interaction,perhaps even elevators or stairs,i want it to feel REAL in the world with npc's walking around,perhaps a npc behind the counter waiting to help you or sell you something.
These dead games are all meaningless to play,simple pvp is not going to save a game.
Now IF someone were to say pour in 50+ million to an older game,even then likely not enough,but perhaps AO or SWG or VG but in case of VG i would want a restructure not more of an EQ2/Wow feel.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

The only huge design flaw City of Heroes had was that it was published by NCSoft.

A surprising lot of cancelled MMO's have that flaw.
I'ma be like bill and pick two that i KNOW i would play.
1) Earth and beyond. I remember exactly where i was when i heard it got canceled. I love my eve but E&B was my first space MMO love.
2) Shadowbane. This one is different for me than E&B. I know i would play it... because i didn't play it the first time around. It's a big missed opportunity to me and i'd love to be able to play the game so many of my online friends still rave about.
RIP Ribbitribbitt you are missed, kid.

1) Vanguard. Played about a year after release. No game before or since had the same diversity of classes IMO. Diplomacy was also a stellar feature.
2) COH/Villains. This was my - go to - brainless button mashing kill stuff and unwind game. I loved jumping over tall buildings.
3) SWG.

You'll probably need some 3rd party mods to get it to look right in 16:9 16:10, though.
And Dragon Ball Online but that one is coming back so just CITY OF HEROES DAMNIT!!!!

Shadowbane-the best PvP game ever made, despite the bugs
COH- best combat
The Matrix- loved the kung fu
