has the game reached 1mil active subscriber yet?

Well, just look at how hard it is to get into PvP on any server. The PvP player base isn't all that big as the PvE player base.

I fixed it a bit

I think it is too early to tell who is an "active" subscriber post heavensward. It is still riding on hype and could significantly drop in a month down to the numbers before it came out.

730k as of April 2015.

As it stands right now, once you've beaten a newly created content, you're just going back doing the same thing over and over again.

I can't think of any mmorpg that does not do the same thing.

1% is impossible, it really is. No MMORPG I know of has had anything even close to that number. 10-30% is realistic in this game.

I'm sure 10-30%, or perhaps even a bit more, have tried out PvP a few times. But for the number who regularly queue for it, I'd think even 1% is optimistic. When PvP (Wolves Den) first came out, it was popular for a little while, and then when Frontlines first came out, it got another surge of popularity, but both were temporary. At times (like now) when the latest content update is not PvP focused, there are very few who stay involved in that little sidegame on a regular basis.

No, it just means not many players enjoy PvP as much as you do.
PvP isn't some holy grail that all desire. Personally, unless its in a zero ping environment, PvP is a bloody nightmare, especially for melee.

I'm not a PvP player. I'm trying to do it right now to get the titles and gear, while waiting for a couple of friends to catch up. But it's turning out to be extremely difficult. The PvP isn't bad in this game though.

Even if 10% of the population is PvPers, you gotta remember that your list of players is even smaller than that. You need to divide that by people in your data center, divide it up evenly between the grand companies(sometimes a frontline queue is just waiting on one GC), and then divide it by those that are actually online. That's STILL quite a small number even if 20% of the population PvPed.

Ok not on a pvp related note. But someone took an estimation based on SE stock holder meeting. I believe the number they came up was more then 500k but less 700k. The number is hard to peg down since accounts have varying subscription costs and cash shop.

Just so people know. WoW counts any asian subscriber with time left on their playcard even if they have not logged in for six months. So the number has always been bloated. The better number is always what yearly earnings report.

Maybe not if you use that ADS mount as a measurement, all servers combined theres only 3500 players that has reached 200 FL victories and from those only 727 are from EU/NA combined and 138 are EU alone. It took roughly 800 matches to reach that 200 due not always winning, so those that do/did alot of FL pvp are extreme minority in here and i assume WD population is even smaller.

So yeah using pvp as an indicator of active subscribers is not really valid.

"The player base doesn't like pvp very much". There, fixed!

Sad but true. Queue times for dungeons are really short on Exodus. Queue times for PVP...ugh. They need to add some new incentives for doing it.
