MMOG Subscription Charts Updated

Posted by Zonk on Saturday January 15, 2005 @05:19AM from the doing-that-statistics-thang dept.

SirBruce writes "Mmogchart.com has been updated, and Version 13.0 is now online. The charts now include more data for World of Warcraft and EverQuest II. Please keep in mind that this data is still very preliminary and could still change. It is widely believed that many other games have shown a decline in subscriptions as a result of the impact of WoW and EQII, but I have no quantifiable numbers yet for the current subscribers for games such as EverQuest I, Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot, and City of Heroes. The full effect of WoW and EQII is not yet visible and probably will not be until February or March."

If I recall correctly from reading a message board thread with a DAoC dev a while ago, he claimed that DAoC had a huge rate of boxes sold that never made accounts, accounts that played once and then stopped, often without ever cancelling their subscription, and other such oddities.

I can't believe no ToonTown developer has slipped me numbers yet. :( Industry guesses are in the 30K - 50K range.

Saw you registered on the RV forums, Bruce. Are they gonna share their numbers when it launches?
