MMOG Subscription Charts Updated

Posted by Zonk on 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."

    The MMORPG chart lists WoW at having 350,000 users, while more than 600,000 copies of the game were sold during the holiday season alone (not including retail during the initial week).

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