What I'm seeing in this thread squares with my estimates. I think you can take the primetime population and triple it at most to get the actual active playerbase. People are generally online either morning, afternoon, or night. So I still estimate about 9k faithful free-trial players with a little more right now checking out the patch.

people like to think the lower numbers are the most accurate, but i think they dont give games enough credit(i can site a few older examples, such as champions online when this issue came up, and due to a server error we actualy saw the true population of the game one night when the servers didnt shard correctly and we all ended up on a single one)
but yeah some servers will ahve lower pops, but the higher pop servers will even those out, which is why i state 1000 players online average during peak hours is a good number to go with -

Got curious reading this thread and logged in to check again.Quote:

At around 1PM (EU/Paris timezone) today.
When I logged in Selbina an hour or two after logging out of Fabul yesterday the number of people on was already over 600 without narrowing the number of players r50 online. I doubt they'd allow us to search/find how many people are online again after removing it in a hurry back in December if they didn't have server merge/switch in mind. Once they start charging, the number of chars on the servers will surely even go down even more. Like those with with 7 mules/chars on the same server not renewing or deleting their mules.Quote:

I think a lot of people are forgetting majority of the player base is JP. So before all the "oh noes" try to get the numbers at JP peak hour instead.
Here is a comparison to just my post earlier.
Not to say these numbers aren't low, I mean back in Oct 2010 I've marked it to be 2400ish world pop around these hours. That means roughly 1000 less, about 42% population drop since then.
Selbina 12/17 8am Eastern
1-10: 66
11-20: 104
21-30: 164
31-40: 172
41-45: 95
46-49: 77
50: 679 (GLA:72, PUG:40, MRD:63, LNC:66, ARC:144, CNJ:173, THM:66, DoH/DoL:58)
Total: 1357
