Look at Wurm Online: Tbey dont have 7 million players, but are successful. Its maintained by I think 2 or 3 people. Look at Asherkn's Call, the best MMO yet in the majority of their players, was started by 5 people living in a basement (I literally mean it) and then they gave the game to Microsoft before developing it kicked off, so then they could manage againdt Sony in the MMO world. They were truly dedicated, and got enough moneay to buy it back. Now, they have a couple hundred thousand players, and doing updates every month, and a lsrge one every 6 months. They then made LOTRO and Dungeons and Dragons Online.
