has the game reached 1mil active subscriber yet?

[Lanceton]

Yoshi-P announced the game has reached 5mil registered accounts
sounds impressive, but come to think of it
5mil registered accounts with less than 1mil active accounts?
that's more than 8 out of 10 people who tried the game and never come back...

[Kayote]

Where'd you get they only have 1 million out of 5 million active?

[GabrielK]

They never said how many there are active.
They only mentioned the number of concurrent users (I think at the start of ARR), and it was 300-400 thousand. Which is not the total number of subscriptions, not by a long shot.

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

[Lanceton]

the latest confirmation of the real figure was in the beginning of this year when they had 500k active subscribers out of 2.5M accounts.
now that the "player" number has doubled, what happens to the active subscriber figure?
the way they announce their "players", the numbers will only keep going up, which is getting more and more misleading if their active subscribers have not also picked up significantly...

I am assuming they'd announce that they've gone passed 1m active subscriber when they did because it's a landmark figure, but they might have other ideas, and that's why I'm curious

thats because noone plays pvp, bot because of low player numbers,

I can go to any map on my server and see someone every 5 seconds, but probably i see 5 people.
And dungeons pop really fast, too.

Well, that's not a very good measure of it, since the majority of the player base has no interest in PvP.

Logically this statement makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

[Catwho]

The numbers get more complicated because the Chinese billing method is different, I think. A HUGE influx of people returned for HW, so I'm sure they'll have topped a million active subscribers for June, possibly even double that.

Why would I ever queue for pvp? Pvp sucks lol.
