Of course CoH is up and right.
It was innovative in many respects, often with elements copied by other MMOs. Cryptic kept touting the fact they made CoH, which they no longer owned, when trying to sell their new games. Jack kept saying how his new Supers MMO (whether it was MO or CO) was going to be better than CoH -- and couldn't deliver.
But CoH delivers. The small trickle of subscriber decline is still extraordinary compared to how few MMOs can wrangle a $15 monthly sub fee out of players, and do so for seven years, even through a Great Recession!

I picked up on a thread from my twitter feed that I found curious. I'm pretty familiar with Gartner from an IT perspective from my working life, so this struck a chord with me.
The article in question can be found here, and it's a relatively simple diargram but could be very interesting. It's the old "Up and to the right" thing is (still) a big buzz and place to be for corporations and there are a number of criteria to apply but take a look and then see where you scale CoH
