Predict the population 6 months after PS3 release

If i'm still playing 6 months after PS3 release I'll bump this and we can all laugh at our wrong guesses or be amazed if someone nails it.

My guess 100k subs. I think this is pretty optimistic.

if its within the next year they put the game out and start charging (aka before class, transportation and the maps being redone) id say half of that would be generous.

If they can get all that done before then and make the game worthy, 100k+ is perfectly reasonable.

FFXI at it good years had 2mil but i say ffxiv would have a easy 100-500subs by 6months of ps3 release.

I'm hoping double the current population and if SE is smart they merge servers before the console release.

I was under the impression FFXI never hit 1 million subs.

It was a good 1-2years that it got 2mil subs they even had to put more mobs in the start areas because all the new players i still remember it :) i saw easy 20 new players around the noob areas and the dunes was full of new people partying.

Don't know why that did not say it o.o i remember them saying it on the POL.

FFXI never had 2 mil subscribers. They announced that the game hosted 2 million active characters at one point, but as far as I know the number of players was at maximum around 500k, where it's remained fairly constant (which is rather impressive).
