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.

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.

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

That's because the pvp in this game is awful.

People come here for the PvE

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.

They are also extremely popular in wow unlike here

Popular with the Bots for sure, lol. There were reports of virtually entire Battleground teams just running clockwise around the map not doing anything because both teams were comprised of honor farming bots.

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.
