Syndicate - Beyond The Legend".
He describes Online Gaming and MMORPG's as
seen thru the eyes of The Syndicate.
The Syndicate is a well established online
gaming guild.

MMOData Charts version 3.3 is Live !
MMOData.net is still running in maintenance
mode.
Most important updates are,
The addition of Perpetuum to the charts. A relative new and small MMORPG. After the initial hype their subs dropped substantially, however it seems that they are slowly curving up now. I wish them all the best with their sandbox Sci-Fi mmorpg as there are only few of them.
EVE Online, that other sandbox Sci-Fi game is doing great again. After it's biggest growth month over month in Juli 2010, it had a little dip during September - November 2010, but now they are growing again. And it looks like a small but sustainable growth, it had 358k in Januari 2011 and 364k in May ( which is higher than the 361k in Juli and thus it's highest number yet ).
