Since you'll be writing for them, perhaps you can acquire and post
an explanation for what criteria determines a game's rank as "Top
five", "Second tier", or "Other".  My impression is that Anarchy
Online isn't in the top five in terms of population or income, and
how is Furcadia within the top eight, not to mention Lineage's
second-class ranking.  I'd also appreciate seeing some data to help
back up that explanation.
