Being a veteran of several MMOs I find myself most drawn back to EverQuest, and EverQuest 2. Mostly since I played them extensively and its what started me out on the road to playing. My list of pay to play MMO games are:
EverQuest
Asheran's Call
Asheran's Call 2
Ultima Online
Dark Age of Camelot
EverQuest 2
World of Warcraft
Final Fantasy XI
Lord of the Rings Online
Warhammer (Beta and Game)
EverQuest Project 1999 (Not a pay to play, but is an emulated server bringing the classic feel of EQ from its beginning days and stopping when the Velious expansion was released.
To be honest I never had much fun with World of Warcraft. It always felt way to easy to me, but I did play EverQuest from the beginning and questing on that game was far more difficult that most other games. You had to do a lot of detective work trying to figure out who to talk to, what to get, who to kill, and sometimes the quest went nowhere and remaind broken.
As far as I know you can play several games for free that were pay to play. Granted you might only get a few selections to play for free, but EQ2, LoTRO, and maybe EQ are among them.
I'm playing EverQuest 2 again now and they did a good job in making it easier to play solo for people who might not have the time to join a guild and actively do raids. So far I'm level 22 in about a week and am having fun, but we'll see how long that lasts.
