20 years ago MMOs and Gamestop did not even exist.

Next year that won't be true anymore, 19 years ago the MMOs genre, like we know today, was born.

Depending on what game you count from, they're already almost 25

I am counting from meridian 59.

edit: I thought the original NWN was more adventurer lobbies compared to today's mmos.

Apparently it's really easy for an mmo to remain profitable, or at least just profitable enough to keep the servers afloat. As long as you have a few thousand subs and/or a cash shop then you don't need too much to keep the servers in maintenance mode. I'm sure there's enough die-hard SW fans out there to keep the userbase from completely flatlining.

I kinda like TOR, I always come back to it when I don't have an ongoing session. They actually put a shitton of feature the last few years. The relationship between EA and Disney seems pretty tight and rumor for a sequel in 3 years...

rdit: And I thought the game made it's money in the first year.
