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.

Correct.

The game has (at any given time) around 100k players active.

The '20 million active subs' isnt representative of people actually playing the game.
