Wow. Between them Lineage and Lineage 2 make up nearly half the MMOG market, yet I've barely ever heard anything about them. Rather odd, no?

One word: Koreans.
I'm Malaysian (though I live in the Solomon Islands), so I know of plenty of other asian mmogs that most people in US / Europe don't know about.
Side anecdote: I almost joined the mmog making industry about two years back. A new company in Malaysia was making "Fung Wan Online", a game based on a popular Hong Kong series (subsequently made into a fairly successful movie, english title: The Storm Riders). I went to be interviewed for game designer (probably to make content and levels and stuff), but the pay was too low and the work location (Cyberjaya) too remote for it to be interesting.
