Sohu's Tian Long Ba Bu(abbreviated as TL) is clearly catching fire! TL, with 534,179 downloads, is ranked number 4 behind Netease's XYQ, with 572,293 downloads, on Xunlei's top 10 most popular download for the week ended June 3, 2007. Number 5 is Nine City's WOW with 487K downloads and Number 5 is Zheng Tu with 455K downloads.
According to Iresearch.com.cn, most of the top 10 popular download online games are old-timers from last year. TL, being a new 2007 MMORG, is the only exception. It is an indication that online game players' population growth has slowed and intense online game market share competition is starting among the new games and old games. Clearly, old popular games continue to attract more new players because switching cost is high and word-of-mouth effect, being a powerful tool for online games, clearly favors the dominant MMORGs, which have massive user base in the millions giving them tremendous first mover advantage.
