Has anyone noticed this? Most of the indie-MMO companies which are creating non-mainstream MMOs are based in EU.
Includes:
Aventurine - Darkfall Online
[CCP - EVE Online
Avatar Creations - Perpetuum
Starvault - Mortal Online (even though it's pure bullcrap)
WAI - Dawntide

Just gunna put this out there - less competition.
A lot of the American software companies for MMOs are going big or going home (see: APB, STO). They get a lot of investors and roll the dice at launch.
APB was developed by a firm in Dundee, scotland (I think its in scottland) so it was EU as well. (I played it, brilliant concept, terrible delivery.)
Asians are too hooked on trying to make things cute and due to economics and culture of the region the western mmo model is not a sound option for them. I grew up on Nintendo, so its hard for me to admit that they are useless.
Americans just want to make a quick buck. Not interested in making good games as far as I can tell.
