"Do you want a game with no casuals so about 500 players?"
I predict 9.8m subs give or take 500k
Yeah, because 2 years ago the numbers were calculated and a High Rift Server stood at 1k, a full stood at 1.5k. I give them the benifit of rounding up numbers, so 8 US servers is 16 k users MAX ... IF these are always full, which they are not. So probably around 40k Us and 40k Eu. Eu has a few more servers, but have lesser load due to the language spread among them.
Easy calculation really.
They only deleted servers dude, why would they upgrade for a dwindling numbers of players ?
Also the above mentioned figure of western Xfire actvity shows 20% less actvity for Rift than Eve.... Now ... Curiously less than 20% of 400k is ...??. (i mention 400k here for EvE as the rest sits in China and players there are not using these tracking tools).

Sorry but I never derailed anything.
I just said that WoW had 10.000.000 subscriptions in 2008
And by now WoW is the only one with these same number of subs while 95% of the competion went free to play with most of the things on life support.
So good luck for the usual haters to discuss the "millions" of WoW while most of the rest stand now at ... ZERO subs... That's 0.000.000
We won
