Biggest Growth of MMO Titles Still To Come?

Posted by simoniker on from the sky-is-the-limit dept.

ShannonA writes "Dave Rickey examines the growth of the online RPG industry in his newest Engines of Creation article, 'Age of Discouragement?'. Based on his own analysis, and SirBruce's MMOG subscription chart, he projects that the best growth for MMORPGs is still ahead: 'In truth, we are solidly in the growth phase of our market, and our largest related markets have yet to really open up.'"

    DAoC now has housing. It's a free download.

    How many hours did you put in during your two months of either DAoC or SWG? I put in quite a long time in the first and am satisfied with the hours I spent versus the money it cost. I'm probably approaching my two months in the second, and I'm happy there as well. When I'm not, I'll leave.

    One last thing - this isn't a math equation, it's entertainment; it would help if you used "IMO" occasionally.

    I recall seeing a statistical analysis on /. a month or two ago explaining that the MMORPG market was already oversaturated.
