Welcome to MMOGData!
Where am I?
Voig is a website dedicated to online gamers and the new home of MMOGData. If you’re looking for current subscription information or wondering just how many people play a specific MMOG, you’ve come to the right place.
So what’s this all about then?
Well lots of people have used the awesome www.mmogchart.com
for information on the MMOG market which was created and maintained by
SirBruce for many years, however since 2006 SirBruce has not updated
the site.
I thought this was a great shame and I have tried to contact SirBruce many times over the last 2 months to see if I could take over the site and maintain the data, I emailed, put posts on forums, even phone calls and contacted other people within the industry but just could not get hold of SirBruce so I have decided to create a new site (http://www.mmogdata.com) and continue his work.
I cannot stress that I would much prefer SirBruce to get into touch and we work together on this and that I am using the data as at 20th May 2007 to form the basis of www.mmogdata.com
What’s been done so far …
- Registered www.mmogdata.com
- Taken SirBruce’s data and increased the number of tracked, Western, MMO games to 129.
- Started to update subscriber numbers (need more data for this).
- Added a new worksheet listing (by MMOG).
- Revenue model (F2P, P2P, B2P).
- Type (Client or browser based).
- Genre (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Sports, etc.).
- Does it have an item mall (typically F2P games only).
- Does it have advertisments (typically F2P games only).
- Does it have a premium pack (typically F2P games only).
- What is the monthly subscription cost (typically P2P games only).
What’s to do?
- Obtain as accurate subscriber / accounts details for each game from June06 onwards.
- Complete the new worksheet listings.
- Create graphs and breakdowns.
How can you help - well if you have any information on the number of subscribers / accounts for any MMOG then please drop me an email phil@voig.com. It would be good to understand how you got the information but this will be kept confidential. Likewise if you know how I can contact SirBruce then email me as well.
The goal is to get the whole spreadsheet online with the next few weeks and I hope it can provide a useful resource for people.
Thanks,
Phil ‘Vortal’ White
