I’m betting eve is up there so high simply from the income they get selling ISKies to players.

Shoot, I even played Club Penguin briefly. It’s very cute.

I love how people are putting down AoC saying stuff like “I wonder if they will last another year” omg people just think for a second. If you watch the recent xfire charts and read the forums, the subscription number is going up, not down. This game is gonna get more and more subscribers, and the expansion that is coming is gonna help that a lot. bah so tired of people not knowing what they talk about, and just say what everyone else here says thinking it is true.

Presumably Club Penguin is the sequel to the Canadian MMO Club Seals?

FFXI was great but i’m surprised to see it still up there. The xpacs keep slipping out but we (I) really just want a whole new FF MMO with more shinies and less 18 hour boss fights.

Hmm, why is Maplestory missing from that list? I dont believe its making less than Age of Conan.

Glad to see LotRO up there. That game deserves more success than it has gotten.

The only reason why EVE (played that for four years myself, thank you very much) is up there is the outrageously inflated monthly subscription fee – for a game that you basically need to create yourself once you’ve paid for the privilege.

And concerning BOBR: I’d rather suggest CCP start renaming loads of corps and chars to something halfway sensible while they’re at it. Maybe just copy the names from the Club Penguin puffle name database. Please tell me you can name your puffles…

Actually, even though the last GW expansion was released in Q4 07, they’ve been pushing the games pretty aggressively since then and I’ve often seen them in the top-20 lists in lots of offline and online retailers. That’s another reason why I suspect this only counts subscription revenue, not box sales.
