Apparently Lineage, a MMORPG from a Korean company called NCSoft, has about 3 million players, with about 160,000 playing concurrently at any given time, making it the biggest online game in the world. I've never even heard of the damn thing, and they have something like 7% of the population of the country playing it! Makes Everquest, with a total of around 400,000 players, look like chicken feed (wonderchicken feed, even). (via Salon. Sorry.)
