Rappelz
Probably the fastest rising f2p MMORPG out there. The graphics are sweet and the game play is fun. It's almost too good to be an f2p. Therefore I wouldn't be surprised if they come out with a "special membership fee" or start selling expansions. (I say, that Rappelz could become Guild War's up and coming rival in no monthly fee MMORPG game arena.)
Flyff
Another f2p, but unlike Rappelz Flyff is about f2p quality. This game is very time consuming, and a game that I would suggest not to play unless you got alot of time on your hands. But, Flyff has been very popular, I think people like the light hearted play, and how it's such a "cute MMORPG" Therefore, this game also is on the rise. (It's a good pickup game, as long as you're fine with your character getting stuck at level 20 or so.)

Guild Wars
Not a f2p, because the game is too good to be one. Guild Wars is probably the second most popular MMORPG game. With good reason, because it has; Good and deep game play and pretty good graphics. (I don't suggest buying the Eye of the North expansion)
I would say Guild Wars was probably the fastest rising MMORPG out there, but in my mind it has kind of peaked out and is now starting to decline. Therefore, I don't think Guild Wars will start to rise again, until the release of Guild Wars 2.
(The people in Guild Wars American Districts are not the nicest peeps around, and beware there are fake girls everywhere.)
World of Warcraft
The leader in MMORPG games, with good reason. Great graphics, and great, deep and entertaining game play. So entertaining that it's addicting.. 0_0 As we say here at Teh Geekopedia, "WoW is a drug."
It isn't a f2p and they charge a monthly fee, but it's totally worth it, if you can afford it.....

Runescape
This game was rising fast awhile ago.. But has also peeked out awhile ago. The game is basically a pitiful attempt to copy WoW. But it's free, therefore it did very well.. But now, most of Runescape's players are quiting and not many new players are joining.
Everquest
Everquest was probably the first big MMORPG game to hit the market. But now years later, it has lost alot of it's popularity, due to WoW and Guild Wars. Therefore, it has peaked out..
Knight Online
This game is on the rise fast, but I think it's gonna peak out soon. Pretty good game play considering the fact that it's f2p.. But there are so many hackers in that game, it's sad.
Final summary regarding Knight Online is, it's gonna go down soon, it just isn't a well run or maintained game.
Things to keep an eye on:
NC Soft, they have been producing some good, solid and popular MMORPGs. Also the game.Last Chaos they are growing, they'll either become big, or fade into obscurity.
