You forgot MXO... bought it fucked up... didn't un-fuck it up... and shut it down.

That said, their kiddie F2P MMO (Free Realms) seems to be doing good, and last I heard EQ and EQ2 was doing ok, too (Not great, but ok).

Just about every MMO Publisher / Developer fails these days with a stale genre and an over-saturated market. Even Rift is starting to plummet.

Guild Wars 2 seems like the only thing that will stand out / possibly rejuvenate the genre.
We'll see if that game has any lasting appeal... the rest of them, that have come out lately, are only good for 1-3 months... or complete utter flops, out the gate.

MMOs are about to do what the video game industry as a whole did back in 1983 - self-immolate from oversaturation.
