It's nice to see games like EVE and LotRO trending upwards at a good clip. Both are great titles that will continue to get larger as time goes by.

It's also good to see AoC making a somewhat of a comeback. Despite the bad blood, it's turning into a really good game. I'm glad people are giving it a second chance. Unless something drastic happens, I expect the upward trend will continue.

I think over the long haul you'll see time played go down for many of the biggest games as more titles are out there and people diversify. Even for WoW once the expansion has played out. The only time you'll see a buck in the trend is when an expansion or major content release comes out. People get bored and there are a lot of options available.

It'll be interesting to see the trend for WAR over the next year. The drop off after launch is expected and things should stabilize in the months to come. It's another great game that I expect nothing but growth out of. The question is, how quickly.
