Population Questions

Hi,

 I'm thinking about giving the NCSoft MMOs another whirl. It's been a few years since I played CoH and Lineage II. They had pretty large populations back then, but of course that was before WoW decimated the population of everything but Eve by the looks of it.

 Are the populations in CoH/CoV and Lineage II still large? Time was I had no problem finding a group in CoH even as a blaster, I wonder if that is still the case.

    If you count bots in Lineage 2, I think it is still fairly large.

    The modern MMORPG is simply not worthy, of the acronym RPG. The straight grind and lack of atmosphere leave me with no choice. From this day forth, World of Warcraft, Everquest 2, and all the games like them shall be referred to as PIGCRAP. People In Guilds Constantly Raiding And Power-leveling

    City of Heroes and Vilains have 171k players, population is biguer than wen WoW hit stores (it had at that time 150.068 players)

    Lineage 2 have 1.138.928 players world wide and 83.221 players in EU/US, this game also grown since WoW relise in US/Eu from 66.975 players to 83.221 players, on koreia they have lost 400k players since WoW relese there.

    NCsoft have 48% of the korean market were blizard only have 27% counting with StarCratft and WarcraftIII that are verry popular there.WoW is not so popular there has people usualy say.

    This also thells that few MMO´s have more than 1M players there, is usual to see here people saing Korean MMO´s have milions of players

    You can see my numbers at NCsoft oficial report here http://www.ncsoft.com/eng/nccompany/ir_data_report01.asp press IR report and than download the last report.

    Yes, CoH/CoV had increased since the release of WoW.  Finding groups on Freedom server at least is no problem at all.  Ironically enough, it's easier to find groups in CoH than in WoW (unless you're a warrior or a priest) despite the larger population.

    Here's a cool link that shows MMO populations.www.mmorpgchart.com
