In the spirit of the season, GamerDNA is giving the gift of insight to all its users in the form of a year in review column. Part one of this column describes several interesting metrics about the number of new titles tagged in user profiles by release month, platform, or specific game (no hard numbers given).Some interesting notes:
- The top title added by users was Age of Conan. It was released in May and correlated to a month of lower unique titles being added. No mention is made of how many users subsequently removed titles from their profiles... but maybe they're saving that for part two.
- There is a noticeable drop in game titles being added for the months of June and July, around the time of the re-branding effort and subsequent server issues.
- The largest uptick in titles added (by release date) was in September, presumably due to Warhammer Online. November is still creeping up on the September numbers with the Lord of the Rings Online expansion, Mines of Moria, and World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King still gaining traction.

another "interesting" note: Regarding the 'Percentage of Additions' chart, shows Lord of the Rings Online is still the most underrated MMO (possibly) ever. Not even one mention of the game in the entire article :)

Bahh, THAT'S underrated?! How about Dungeons and Dragons Online (DDO) that is heading into its THIRD anniversary and was around by the same company even BEFORE LotRO existed?

true that, DDO is a great game and definitely deserves more of a fanbase. :)
