Am I just old fashioned?

it's about catering to the higher amount of players we have over 500k players if 450k wants a easy open world and 50k doesn't when you give the lower number what they want you upset and risk losing the bigger number. (numbers are just an example you can easily turn it around)

We actually have over 1 million players. Right now, going by active players, there is 1.6 million active out of 4.5 million registered accounts. This does not include free months or trial. Though I haven't checked that in a while so I'm sure we have more than 1.6 million active now.

That over 500k you are toting was from a report early 2014 showing SE's sub numbers from 3 of their MMOs ending 2013, but earlier this year Polygon mistakenly published it saying it was for last year and later apologized for it, but by that point it had spread like wildfire and published by many sites. So considering by the end of 2013 we had between 500k and 1 million and game has continued to grow, and then 1.6 million by late last year, I'm sure it's a lot more now.
