100,000 gaming communities

[Aetherlblade]

Hey fellow escapers,

For a little project I´m doing i am searching for all gaming communities of at least 100K people. Now I´ve never been in one, so I have no direct place to begin perse (although I will begin by googling of course).

So if anyone here knows any, could you tell me? Would be a great help!

I'm making a list of the biggest communities, sorting them by type and size for a little research project a friend is doing for his social studies. (as work, no school )

Thanks!

Here is a short list I know of.
Games with big communities:

World of Warcraft
League of Legends
Call of Duty
Counter Strike(if you include the three games as they kinda share the community)
Starcraft 1/2
Guild wars 1/2
Battlefield 3
Day Z
Gran Turismo
Forza

and basically any game that sold well and went on to have a competitive scene to it.

Sites and services:

Steam
The Escapist
Skyrim mod scene
Playstation 3 trophies hunter scene
Xbox3 60 achievement scene

Ok, that might be useful, thanks.

Now I need about the same more specific in the SciFi scene, or X4 scene. I have some like EVE, ST:O, and starcraft, etc. But i need a list as long as possible, so if you know anything from the top of your head, that would be nice.

SciFi:

Halo
Gears of war might count
Mass Effect
Fallout
Dead space
Portal
Half life
Bioshock
Deus Ex

x4 scene(I don't know what X4 is sorry)

X4 is explore, expand, exploit and exterminate.

Civilization games and Sins of a Solar empire are games like this.

Bungie.Net has a pretty diverse spread out community and I mean that in the literal sense. It's full of all types of people.
