No real reason, but Tencent's china-based and CrossFire therefore has a HUGE playerbase in its home market.

You wouldn't, because you are not in Chain.

Hm, Maplestory is at #5. I'm guessing that is more because of the Asian market than NA. Like how DFO is #3 and NA version was shut down Tongue

Because its better Excellent

No, probably because Maple is Pay2Win and WoW was Pay2Play (I think, never got near WoW).

Because the numbers only include micro-transaction sales. WoW's subscriber revenue is not included.

From the article:
Quote:“Despite its chronic subscriber loss, World of Warcraft managed to generate $213 million in micro-transaction sales in 2013,” he said, in addition to its subscriber revenue.
