I mean.. its close to 20m over a 30 day period..

But lets be real 100k online is about the average the game gets, anything thinking it is more is fully huffing that copium.

You have to be absolutely insane to believe this game has 20mil active players. WoW in its prime had like.. 24mil? And that was during a time where MMOs were actually popular. Luckybencho lists like what, 1,5mil active characters? And that includes alts.
