I'd think WoW would have something like:

Accounts: 10,000,000
Active Accounts: 6,000,000
Total online: 3,000,000

For a free game like ours, people can easily make an account to see what PS is like, then stop playing. It's not so easy to do that for a commercial game so the gap between online players and total accounts will be much much less.

Let's see... PS has been going on for a long time, and in that time, many people have come and gone. Mainly due to: Not enough time, people pulling them away IRL, people pushing them away IG (not as often, but it happens), boredom, annoyance, or, like Xordan said, there were people that just came in, checked it out, and never came back... Probably a lot of those. Plus the server sometimes reaches up to about 200 players.

We must also count the people who creates two accounts to have two characters ingame, for many reasons.

I'm not a newbie, thank ;)

If you want to have 2 characters connected at the same time they must not be on the same account. Coz only one connection per account allowed.

But how many people are really gonna sit there and play two accounts simultaneously? I don't deny that there are certain moronic weirdos who would, but surely they're an insignificant minority?

Yes surly a majority that do it for events or rp purpose it's something people commonly do.
Maybe like 30 accounts created for that, maximum.
So my point was kind of useless  :sweatdrop:

Jeez......... So it wasnt a joke at all. Well possibly in the next few years it will be massive enough to challenge WoW with the stuff i see. Oh yes and by the way im guess around 200-500 people play the game.

You really thought they put some random numbers out there? lol. Bah at the next wipe-out the number of accounts will drop to 0 to raise ... again high.

Im guessing the next wipe is within this year and that the Role-Players call it the appopcalypse in character.

It might be a big gap but i'm sure that more people will start playing online in the future instead of orphaning accounts  O--)
