According to popular technology news blog GigaOM, the most popular MMO behind World Of Warcraft is the shockwave-enabled Habbo Hotel. I know that for a long time now Director has played second fiddle to Flash, but this shows that Adobe Director is still a great choice for games.

The Java-powered dungeon game Runescape comes in at number 3, the Flash-enabled Club Penguin comes in at #4, and PR-savvy SecondLife ranks at a lowly 10. It's quite an eye-opening list for those who believe MMOs are all swords and dragons *. Check out the entire list over at GigaOM.com

There's a semi-official Director survey that's been put together by Charles Parcell. The results will be collected and given to Adobe, who is currently hard at work on Director 11.
