guild wars (i would happily pay for a client rather than download one on my crappy internet)

Runes of Magic

Bounty bay online

those are my top 3

I am not a big fans of item shop game but anyway, f2p is a model totally different from the subscription model, they have different ways to develop your char(which is the main point of MMO), so you can't just say "a f2p is good enough to be p2p".

Dofus is also worth a look if you enjoy the Atlantica style turn based stuff.Lots of classes and skills,crafting etc.

Mabinogi

This is quite a unique MMORPG. 

There are no classes. 
If you want to be a warrior, you pick up a sword.
If you want to be an archer, you pick up a bow.
If you want to be a mage, you learn magic.

The battle system is not just "point, click and watch the mob get killed".
It requires some tactical thinking when fighting the mobs.
Even low level mobs can kill you if you don't fight correctly.

I'm very impressed with Atlantica, having downloaded it this morning. It is a really polished game, full of nice touches, and different from any other MMO I've played. I'd even suggest people who might be put off by turn-based combat give it a go. I was unsure about that myself, but Atlantica is the best new MMO I've played for a long time. And definitely the most polished 'F2P' I've tried.

Ok so far I've noted:

PWI, Mabanogi, RoM, Atlantica, Sword of a new world and Requiem

And someone mailed me saying Asada story and 4 story were decent.

Im going to give each one of these games atleast two weeks and let you know what I think.

I've done a good amount of cash shop bashing in my time and I think its time for me to actually try the next generation of these mmos and give my 2cents.

Thank you all for the info and you will hear from me soon.

mmosite is holding a contest about this matter. seems u could get some info from their result

runecape is ok .

puzzle pirates is kol but eventually thats a P2p but easily the best f2p ive ever played is without a doubt... Last Chaos. the download takes a while but omg the gameplay and everythin with it... best game ever!!!
