Looks like WoW is on its way toward TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION.

Meanwhile EQ2 is... well, lets just say it's not doing half bad.
Maybe 1/4 bad or so.

Check it here: http://www.mmogchart.com/



And for all the EQ2 and CoH fans who are going to whine about how WoW isn't
really any good, here's a link for you:

It's pieced together by press releases and dubious "insider"

It's not the site's fault. It's the unscrupulous definition of
"account" that Lineage/Lineage 2 use. BTW, FF11 also counts individual
characters each as an "account" so you have people who purchase 1 copy
of the game and create 4 chars who are all of a sudden 4 accounts in
those numbers.

Damn, I've gotta start playing Lineage. I've got calculus with some of those
Asians, and they're *always* right.

They have no taste or creativity, and are very homogenized, like a bee hive,
or a borg collective. The ubiquitous Honda Civic is a plague on this world.
And another thing...what the hell is Anime? Their concept of toons is
disturbing and creepy. That's all I have to say.

I thought FF11 only let you play one character?

If not that game it was some other game. Whatever it was it was an
immediate turn-off for me.

You initially get 1 char, but you pay $1.99 for the an additional char.

You can buy extra character slots for an extra $1/month a piece.
Whether they end up on the same server as the one randomly selected
for your first: I don't know.

Well I see their logic.. if you're paying more it *must* be a separate
account, right? <g>

What's the verdict on Lineage II anyway? Just had a look & it doesn't 'seem'
too bad (ahem). But those dickheads at PlayNC have yet again disabled online
purchase to anyone outside of the US (well, not to Aus anyway), even though
the mmorpg developer provides a direct d/l on their website. So I have to go
to the store to get a box I don't want just for the cd key. Ptoooiii!!!

Well, you could always try the free private Lineage servers... :p

Actually, I've never played Lineage, private servers or real, so I
can't comment on the quality.

If you had read that site you would know how this number has come into
existance. And, yes, I believe it.

With Linage 1&2 you can get the client legally for free (via the
official NCSoft site) BUT there are numerous private servers you can
use, meaning NCSoft doesn't get a penny off you.

I'm also lead to believe few people in Korea actually own PCs most
use Internet cafes to play MMORPG. You don't buy the game as it already
on the PC. The few people you own PCs mainly use pirated software.
