Top 10 Most Popular MMOs

GigaOM have tried to pull together a list of the Top 10 MMOs (massively multiplayer online worlds).

What amazed me about the list is that I haven’t tried any of the MMOs listed. There used to be a time when it was rare that there was a service or a site on the web that I hadn’t tried before.  Even if I met a new company at work, it was more than likely that I knew at least one person working there. But, now the web is just getting far too big for it to be a little club now.

Admittedly, there are certain services that I try to avoid as I don’t want to get hooked as I don’t have a lot of spare time to play with. For instance, I only joined Facebook this week.  In some ways I wish I’d avoided starting a blog, as I’m now well and truly hooked!

Here’s the full list – how many have you tried?  How many hours do you spend a week using MMOs?

1. World of Warcraft, released 2004 – 8.5 million subscribers.
2. Habbo Hotel, released 2000 – 7.5 million active users.
3. RuneScape, released 2001 – 5 million active users.
4. Club Penguin, released 2006 – 4 million active users.
