World of Warcraft Monopolizes MMOG Market
(Bruce Woodcock. MMOGCHART.COM)
MMOG Chart has released updated figures concerning the state of the MMOG market, that is, a comparitive ratio of the number of subscribers of many MMOG to the whole MMOG market. It turns out, to little surprise that Blizzard’s World of Warcraft (WoW) dominates the free market. But the extent to which WoW has possession of the market is quite startling. Holding 50.6% of all MMOG subscribers (indicated blue in the above graphic), WoW has an overbearing, exclusive grip on the market.

That research is bull. No guild wars? No city of heros?
Why would Guild Wars be in this data?
City of Hero/Villains is in the data, you just can barely see it. It did not include Guild Wars b/c it does not include a monthly fee. If it were to include Guild wars, it also has to include things like Diablo.
