It's more like how people wanted to disbelieve that FFXI was ever popular or had more than 250k subs ever - WoW always reports 15 mil+ even though they count inactive, dead and trial accounts in their numbers since when you play it, there's a lot of people but it in no way feels like 15-18 million people.

People want to see the actual numbers of active subs, no trolling involved.

No they make it clear that those accounts are active. They're down to 10,000,000. The thing is most of those accounts come from china. They also count accounts in internet cafe. Why do I bring up china? It's why you don't "notice 10,000,000." They have their own servers. Then there's many servers people are spread out in. Thing is you only need 250,000 people to turn a profit. 500,000 is considered good. WoW has warped people's perception on what is good.

Well if 500k more people have bought it since then, then we can go ahead and say those 500k people are probably active for the moment, and factor in how many people originally stayed after free trials ended and even if that 1.5 mil is counting inactive accounts, they probably have a good bit over 1mil active at the moment. Servers do feel very well populated and in some areas overpopulated from what I can tell.

Because content doesn't make itself.

That's earlier than I was expecting it, to be honest.

1* - Stats were released in late September.
2* - No official date has actually been given for 2.1...The only thing that has *ACTUALLY* been said is "by the end of the year". - It's actually speculated and much more likely that the update will come in the next few weeks considering the Playstation 4 kicks off in 2-3 weeks.

I don't know where //any// of you got "2.1 is coming in December"...When in fact, the only guarantee thus far is that 2.1 is coming BY December.

Accounts =/= People actually subbed.
And 2.1 is in Dec?
That's very disappointing...The count will go even down more
because the 2.1 is in Dec. Not a lot of people will be entertained by then
but it's only 1 month less of sub, they will come back.
