    It should really be more touted that it exists on one server, thats one thing about EVE that really appeals to me. WoW has a massive fan base, but you will never play with most of those characters. The size and scope of eve really impressed me as it is what i always imagined MMORPGs to be when they were first announced.

    Are there any bigger MMOs out there in terms of people on the same server on the same time?
