Worldwide server population count for 12/17 (JST) across all servers

These populations are discouraging because to have a healthy MMO with lots of content, it has to be profitable. Ya, you won't interact with millions of other players, but you'll get expansions, lots of content with patches, more game tweaking, etc if the game is raking in millions a month vs hundreds of thousands a month.

The fact they're redoing the client and servers without a large population (let alone a paying population) should tell you it's not necessarily the number of people playing that brings game tweaks and expansions, it helps sure, but F2P MMOs with significantly less than 100,000 users per region still get episodic content.

you dont understand what f2p games are im guessing

they come out with content so that they can SELL the content

the games arent actualy free, thats just a term to describe non subscription, everything in game however is expensive
