Everquest Series
World of Warcraft
Final Fantasy XI
Prolly wrong, but hey what do i know
#1. WoW (Duh)
#2. Lineage 2
#3. FFXI or Lineage 1
Something like that I'm sure.
World of Warcraft
Guild Warz
EvE
^_^
EQ..? are you serious?
the EVE one was even more funny, with its 100k subscribers haha.
its curently:
1:World of Warcraft
2:Lineage 1/2 (very populair in Korea)
3:Ragnarok Online (believe it or not, this game is H U G E in korea)
edit: These are based on current subscribers, things like MU Online and Legend of mir are based on accounts created, those are f2p mmo's.
edit 2: woops, mixed 2 and 3 up :S
Is there any place were we can actually get numbers (facts) to back up what are the top 3 player subsciption MMO's out there?

Per MMORPGCHART.COM (Best Available information though some is a little dated) Currently, in the following order:
The Over 1 Million Club
#1 WOW
#2 Lineage
#3 Lineage II
#4 GuildWars (If you choose to count it, it's not on MMORPGCHART but they recently stated they have 1.5 million active accounts, how they track that I have no idea since they aren't subscriber based, it's probably actually less players though)
The Over 500k Club
#5 FFXI
#6 Runescape
The Over 200k Club
#7 EQII
#8 EQ
#9 DAOC
The Over 100k Club
#10 COH/COV
#11 Ultima Online
#12 EVE
EVE is knocking on UO's door. Then has another 30-50k to go before passing COH/COV
NOTE: I deliberately left SWG off the list because even though old data shows them over 200k subs the data is "pre-nge" and doesn't show what effect the NGE had. Unnofficial data post NGE Showed probable numbers for that title at < 100k so for the purposes of this post I'm going under the assumption that SWG has fewer than 100k players.
Currently Playing: Dungeons and Dragons Online.

ummm prob
1) WoW (unfortunatly)
2) Guild Wars
3) i unno, prob EQ 2
future:
1) i really hope wow will dye by then but if not then wow
2) Darkfall
3) Star Trek Online
But other smaller companies arent ashamed of their numbers, and will often post them if requested. Or Blizzard is gracious about that also. But that one is a given.

its too outdated. RF Online has a rough 2~3 million subscribers in korea, so you can remove GW.
MMOGCHART.COM
Click, the "Subscribers" links on the left index to get to the data and charts.

SOME of it is out dated. Some is recent. He's got data up from January for many of the games he's charting. And I'd like to see something OFFICIAL that says RF has 2-3 mil subs. That wouldn't knock GW off the chart though, they're still quoted at 1.5 million So they'd stay in the "Over a Million" rank.

Can't find the website I read it on anymore
best I could find for you was this:
http://www.gamespot.com/search.html?qs=RF Online&sub=m&stype=11&type=11
in the interview with the producer, he says:"RF online currently has over a million subscriers in korea".
sorry, I can't find the stupid website, I'll look around some more.
Also EVE's sub base is now over 120k+, with estimates by CCP (who have been very accurate in reporting their numbers) with that going toward 200k+ by the end of the year.
No it doesn't have the 2-5+million "subscribers" as some of the others, but for pure numbers that a person sees when logging in, EVE is simply in a class by itself.
2. Mmogchart is outdated, EQ2 would have increased substantially since then especially with its improvements and with its added pvp.
3. Guild wars doesn't have any subscribers, it probably counts everyone that bought the game.
So I would say it would be WoW, EQ2 followed by EQ or maybe Guild wars if it actually is 'active' players.
But yeah Asian market wise, I believe they actually have some mmos in Asia which has a lot more players than Lineage/2.
Wrong, GW has both pay once and pay per month players. Do your research. Also any numbers about GWs sales figures relate to only specific places not the whole market. For example, they dont count, NZ, Australia, etc or anywhere out of its region areas.
