Perhaps other figures can or should to be used too, for really being
able to compare MOG's in a sense of "size" or success. Things like
concurrent logged into characters over a timeframe for general user
"community" traffic might provide a better idea and understanding of
the situation, or more company specific "net income". Suppose though
such numbers are hard to come by, but may still serve better as an
answer to the "who is the biggest one" question.
