    You have to consider that if you request "of all time" you're most likely to get older games, where there won't be as many low lvl players as you'd expect. Even if, many of them are probably just alts of the already high lvl bored fanboys.

    I would've thought of 4Story to be one, with MapleStory.

    Runescape has always amazed me, or rather its popularity has. What period of time was it that it managed to get such a strong foothold in the MMO community anyway?

    Popularity?

    Of course World of Warcraft.

    I hate to admit it, but no one ever did come close to WoW.

    MapleStory blows WoW right out of the water when it comes to pure numbers as the number of registered players number in the hundred millions.

    I'm registered on dozens of MMOs that I don't play and/or haven't spent money on. Probably everyone here is or has been registered on Maple Story; it's not a representative number and it's different than the number of people whose credit cards are getting regular visits from WoW.

    You can't compare that, since MS is F2P and WoW is P2P...

    Its easy to register billions of accounts in a F2P game genious
    especially when it comes to spam botting like each "W W W (dot) BLABLA (dot) C0M: CHEAP NEN CASH" spammer gets 20-30 accounts per day
    ALSO
    you don't grind at same place for months in WoW so don't be suprised if you see 1000000 people at same grind spot ("- Overcrowded grind spots" MMOHut said)
    (do you even raid at MapleStory?)
