Sub Numbers by MMO?

[Troggdor]

i know wow has roughly 10 million and is at the top of the market ... but what about others? where do games like rift, swtor, aion, warhammer, dcuo, etc etc etc come in at for number of subs?

You have to be careful with that marketing number of 10million subs.
In china someone counts as a sub when they login for like 5minutes. You have a monthly fee there, you pay for the time logged in.

Also most western mmos are not released over there yet, might be more fair to compare those with the sub numbers of WoW west.
At the peak there were around 5mill western subs, with all the sub losses lately i guess its down to 3-4 now.

You can check numbers here
http://www.mmodata.net/ there are several graphs about that topic.
