THEY NEED THE ABILITY TO QQ LIKE HUMAN BEINGS NEED AIR.
Well, that's a common human trait.
Definitely not restricted to Southside White Sox fans

Active western MMO population. Aion and Lineage beat out SWTOR for the 2 and 3 slot, but only because of eastern numbers. For numbers in the west, WoW is 1st, SWTOR is 2nd. I may be in error, but that is from the latest information available that I am aware of.

EVE online might actually be no 2.

The second most coveted award in the industry. First being...

" Best multiplayer game of Solitaire. "
That's where the industry has been heading for years. You might think it's ridiculous but believe me, a large portion of the players never group with others at all. They simply keep playing the leveling content with different classes. Which is one reason it's doing as well as it is. As silly as it sounds, it's the reality whether you like it or not.

You may be right...the new numbers should be posted soon. It will be interesting to see where they stand...last I checked they were somewhere around 400k.

When discussing MMO populations, you need to separate East from West. They are fundamentally different markets and operated on different business models and different player drivers/desires. They are both "fruit" but they are essentially apples and oranges. The now defunct MMOdata.net made this distinction transparent years ago when they deliberately separated WoW East and WoW west.

I thought I heard someplace that they broke the 500k mark but could be wrong.

Could be. They ebb and flow around 500K +/-, and are subscriber only. In terms of "active accounts", they are likely number 4 right now given SWTOR is running ~1M and Rift is probably north of 600K right now with their F2P surge.

EVE is however the 800lb gorilla of PvP in western MMOs though IMO. If you want a true sandbox PvP fix.. EVE is the only AAA show in town IMO.

I guess this is your first MMO ever.Try Guild Wars 2 for example, or Rift, or even The secret world, then you will change your mind.

Oh, feeling sad? because if some other new MMO will take more players from SWTOR? Makes no difference really.
SWTOR will not die because of that.It will end up being like SWG playerbase.less then 100k in a couple of years.
