This is assuming that there is a PS3 release. My guess would be the population would be the same as it is now. Only the bored and the die-hards would give it a go. The stigma associated with this game is massive amongst the mmo-going population.

It's been almost a year and progress on the rebuild seems painfully slow. I wouldn't be surprised if people just gave this game up for dead and are just waiting for Final Fantasy XV.
