Hello everyone,
Here is an interesting article about how to use data mining in game design:
http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/2816/better_game_design_through_data_.php
The authors claims that data mining can help MMOG design by:
1. To balance the economy
2. To catch cheaters
3. To cut production costs
4. To increase customer renewal
Besides that, I found that some people provides datasets from the StarCraft game:

But I did not find datasets for other games.
Best,
Philippe
