Conan was dying! The smartest move they made was moving to Free to Play. The publisher released a statement recently that Free to Play basically saved the game, bringing in 4 times the players and more than doubling revenues.

There are several companies in the free to play market that are becoming juggernauts. Nexon for one...

With games like these:

Vindictus - http://www.mmoden.com/reviews/vindictus
Combat Arms - http://www.mmoden.com/reviews/combat-arms

Then you have more and more games that were once purchase or free to play migrating:

Team Fortress 2 - http://www.mmoden.com/reviews/team-fortress-2

Just to name a few. MMO Games will all be free to play soon. The revenue is better for the company and that in turn creates a better game for the end user.
