    I think that estimate of 750k is definitely low. Here is the logic. First a registered account must have subscribed independently, post free with box, for 30 days. At the end of 2014 the game had 2.5 Million such accounts, beginning of 2015 4 million, August 5 million. I would argue based on that, that 1- 1.5 million would not be out of the question. This would be good because today there are a lot more MMOs than when WoW started nd many of them are f2p. If I remember right the 750 number came froman estimate from the 2014 earnings call when they said 1 million between this and FFXI. Thing is that earnings call was before China and Ps4 launch. a well thought out estimate imo.. Another good Reddit elsewhere noted the average loss of BAD games...28% remaining. They crunched some nunbers and came up, based on SE statements of a 35% retention overall here, which would be 1.7 million, which would be consistent with the link I posted.
