Top 10 Massively Multiplayer Online Worlds

According to GigaOm, World of Warcraft holds the record in their
Top 10 Most Popular MMOs.
The complete list includes the following:
1. World of Warcraft - 8.5 million subscribers (released 2004)
2. Habbo Hotel - 7.5 million active users (released 2000)
3. RuneScape - 5 million active users (released 2001)
4. Club Penguin - 4 million active users (released 2006)
5. Webkinz - 3.8 million active users (released 2005)
6. Gaia Online - 2 million active users (released 2003)
7. Guild Wars - 2 million active users (released 2005)
8. Puzzle Pirates - 1.5 million active users (released 2003)
9. Lineage I/II - 1 million subscribers (released 1998)
10. Second Life - 500,000 active users (released 2003)

Aside from World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, and Second Life I haven’t heard of the other MMOs. I know Gaia Online but it’s supposed to be a message board or forum (practically the world’s largest message board according to BigBoards with 7,838,975 members).
