your math say 160k...which is pretty damn close to 200k...which STILL is massive compared to this game. Btw how was i supposed to do "common sense math" without knowing peak #s of all servers? oh wait....thats you just trying to be an arrogant ass...
A server that doesnt merge means it is high because it doesnt require a merge, it has enough people, people merge into this server, making it even higher, and the leastest merge was less than a year ago.

Also there is only 1 prime time for the game itself, doesnt matter about regions, which is always PM>AM JST, it shows it on the wonderful census you showed.

Also dont know what your 2.6k is proving, If there was an average for 2.6k and you doubled it "just to make sure", that'd be roughly 5.2k active players on 16 servers that is 83.2k players, not 200-300k.

Also common-sense-Math is:
- Whats a good unrealistic number of active players: 10k
- How many servers are there? 16

AT MOST 160k, which is not nearly 200k.... cuse its 160k.....40 thousand away from 200k.
