MMOG Subscription Analysis Provides New Insights

Posted by simoniker on from the many-graphs-better-than-one dept.

Thanks to jer0 for pointing to SirBruce's updated MMOG Subscription Growth analysis page, which tries to "chart the trend in active subscriptions" for major MMO titles using public and private data. This "major revision" has the "chart separated into three tiers" dependent on subscription size, and shows Lineage as the worldwide MMO leader at "just under 2.7 million" (though this may be reliant on bulk 'PC Baang' subscriptions in countries such as South Korea, and the game has "only 7,000 [subscribers] in the United States.") Other notable entries include City Of Heroes ("surpassed 180,000 subscribers... proof that a well-executed MMOG can still garner substantial numbers even in the current competitive climate"), and the also recently launched, but less successful Horizons ("After peaking at around 35,000 subscribers, they have since fallen to somewhere between 20,000 and 25,000 subscribers.")

    Anyone else think this is a "miracle of freedom"?

    More like yet another machination by the sick Bush administration.

    i will fill your asshole with the best cock of your life. i'll splooge up inside your shitbox and my powerful seed will bring your feces to life. you'll birth it and we'll have a shitbaby son. i'll name him rob malda and you'll take him to church to get him baptised. the priest will quietly molest our little rob in the backroom then, after fucking rob, baptise him in the big bowl of holy water. unfortunately, since he will be a shitbaby [thus, composed of fecal matter brought to life], he will disintegrate in the bowl.
    we'll go home and i'll fuck you in the ass again and start the process all over again.

    sometimes i think about cutting girls' tits off, scooping out the inside, and wearing them as hats.

    fuck you bitch. slashdot is for dudes. fuck off.
