I really wish they outright stated how many active subscribers they have, none of this "adventurers" thing that's just another word for accounts, pretty sure most P2P MMOs actually report on their solid subscriber numbers since accounts don't really matter that much for subscription based MMOs. Honestly I'd say their subscriber numbers could be lower than 1 million, closer to around 700k or maybe less, but we'll never really know for sure until they state them. It would still be good money, but they were operating at a large loss for years, most likely they're allocating a good part of their profits into the expansion, which seems like the next big "but wait until X", then dropping PS3 support will be the next big excuse, etc.
