Not sure where MMOGChart.com gets the data from, but they have an interesting break down of MMO players world wide.

Not surprisingly, World of Warcraft has an apparent 62.3% of market share! But when you look at the Asian Market graphs it's apparent that WoW's success will only get bigger once the Asian countries began to play it as much as their local MMO's. promoted forum item

Steam player stats for comparison

i have a hard time believing mmogchart.com stats.

It's funny if it's true, the only games on the rise are wow and runescape. Runescape for f***s sake lulz.

Is there a reason to doubt the accuracy of the stats? I've looked at that site a few times over the years, and its always seemed to be pretty accurate, and it currently has wow sitting at about 10 million active subscribers, which fits what blizzard said...

I don't really have a reason to doubt it. Seems in line with the numbers which were reported for various MMO's a while back?

Now that I'm Eves bitch, it feels good to be one of the people not playing WoW ;)

Now that I'm doing Black Temple, I'm happy to be one of the people playing WoW :)

Black Temple is bad mmmmkay

You can, by merely clicking on a link on a web page (traumatic) find out more about how they gather their stats on this page.

that guy has FAR to much time on his hands
