Lord of the Rings online, or LOTRO for short, is rumored to go free-to-play sometime next year.
Much like Dungeons and Dragons Online, LOTRO online has experienced dwindling subscription numbers, despite being a good game, being so good, that I know of a friend who paid a nice chunk of change for a "lifetime" subscription.
However, since DDO has been free to play since September, it has experienced a new amount of growth, and has
received an increase in income, due to their "VIP services" which one can pay a $9.99 optional fee for.
Whether the people in charge will make it free to play is uncertain, but there is a large market for free to play mmos, so it isn't a far stretch.
