]]>As to your point about server populations, it’s partially valid, and EVE certainly has something to be proud of by having all of their players on one server. However, as far as the market is concerned, WoW is still #1 and it doesn’t matter that they are spread across multiple servers.

Seth,
Thanks for the link; I’ll look into it for my Asian research if it ever gets back on track.
