Tales from the Lite side - part 2
Here are some new upstarts looking to get in on the ultra-lite MMO market mentioned in part 1.
Dofus is a 2d iso Flash based MMO with a turn based combat system...
Runescape is a Java based 3d MMO with a play style not unlike Ultima Online that has a large and growing userbase.
Sherwood is a Shockwave 3d based MMO still in development.
This batch may not be pulling down boatloads of cash like other ultra-lites such as Habbo Hotel and Neo Pets but they do give a good indication of what is possible to do in this space with respect to features and scope.

Although I won't try to make this list comprehensive, here are some other "ultra lite MMO's" worth looking at. The first two of these are entirely browser-based, and the second entirely lacks image (but still features some surprisingly worthwhile gameplay):
Kingdom of Loathing
The Urban Dead
AdventureQuest

Runescape makes loads of cash in fact, $2.5M per month and Jagex has received an "undisclosed" investment from Insight Venture Partners.
