    14 million registered accounts for Lineage II seems kinda low.

    “With over three million registered players in North America, the global user base for MapleStory has reached almost 60 million,” says John H. Chi, chief executive officer of Nexon America. “When you take into account the stunning viral success of our titles, as well as the Item Selling business model’s extraordinary growth into the mainstream market in North America, Nexon is going to change not only the way people game, but socialize!”

     

    This issue is a complete waste of energy to debate. 

    Until there is a governing body which all companies must report their figures to, which subscribe to a previously agreed upon set of rules for user allocation, and then placed on a scientifically calculated list, all arguments for or against lie solely on the "honesty", "self regulation", and "personal definitions" of the companies involved.

    Lineage 2 has around 1.1 million active subscribers worldwide with about 100,000 in US and Europe.

    The Asian MMOs count total registered subscribers to boost numbers for advertising so whatever games like Maple Story or Lineage 2 are touting I'm counted among them even though I played both games for about a week.

    Maybe Blizzard should advertise how many registered players there are for WoW. So, instead of the 9 million milestone making the news it would be 100 million milestone.

    You can tell from the first post that the OP is a bandwagon WoW hater. Blah-bla-bla...Ragnarok Online has over 50 million users worldwide but like most has said here, what about total number of active accounts. <.<' Geez, this thread is just another WoW flaming attempt.

    To Crybabies: Uhm...if a game pisses you off, don't play it - duh.

However, I will say that L2 probably has quite a few players, if I recall.. it's ranked very well globally.

    If you're going to disregard bots and gold farmers, you would have less than 6 million WoW players. Travel to China and you'll see what we're talking about.

    You've been there?

    Nobody's answer is valid here unless they can prove it. Let's just leave this arguement to the experts and not make something out of our asses.

    This is old news. Keep ur eye on the mmo charts before starting threads like this instead of just posting the first piece of news you see.

     Lol excuse me, I forgot to quote this one. It 's a fact that those bots exsist and you don 't need to travel to china to proove that. Do you actually think every single bot stays next to his pc to let people know he 's not afk botting? Well I don't and I believe alot of people agree with me. Do not take this as an insult, but if you mean what I think you mean it's quite a dumb post.

    As for Blizzard's figure, from what I know, they're being honest, they've defined what they count and not count. So, it's all pretty clear, Blizzard has the largest user base, worldwide, on their MMO. I seriously doubt games like MapleStory, Lineage 2, SilkRoad, and etc, actually have millions of co-current accounts that are active and paying. As for MapleStory, I probably have three accounts, all in-active, and never have touched their cash shop. And the same for SilkRoad.

    Frankly, the current account counting scheme is the largest scam in the world for showing who's the best game. And I'll tell you why: it doesn't tell you, as a customer, jack about the features of the game. I don't care if everyone plus God is playing WoW, Lineage 2, or whatever-MMO-you-can-name if you can't tell me what it features, especially what features no one else has. The user/account count is just the new 3p33n contest of the company PR hucksters. Ignore them (the PR dorks), they probably don't even know how to reformat a floppy diskette.

    no, there is no need for any regulatory body, just plain old simple understanding.

    Note the word "Registered". note there is no "active subscriptions" ever mentioned. So this means 60 million people ever made an account for Maple story.

    Wow! big numbers right? yes.... a free game? of course it has bucketloads of registered accounts! it cost nothing to make one! Heck *I* have one.... or was it ragnarok? well.. some anyhow. I played it for like 1 week and then stopped and I'm in those 60 million right there.

    LOL most .. prob 90% of WoW players can't even fathom the deapth of L2 let alone have ever heard of it ...... a real mmo
