[edit] Contradiction

The article seems to contradict itself (or maybe it's just bad wording); first, they say as of 2004, Lineage is the most successful; then say that WoW has 6 million users (approx 2 million more than Lineage, at it's height), but WoW came out around 2004. The wording is a little off/odd; and gives the impression that the statement was made in 2004 and no one changed it. Is it saying that Lineage was best in 2004 but not anymore; since WoW replaced it that same year, and became the new #1 mmorpg?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:LinC0028.jpg

Image:LinC0028.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Major work

I realized today that I made no notes here. I made substantial changes to the layout and content. The article still needs considerably more formal work, but it is, I think, in much better shape.

I did not address the image, which has been deleted.

I was mainly interested in the text, which was... a mess.
