You do realize they don't wipe characters from closed accounts don't you?

Last count by mmogchart.com  was about 170k subscribers.

HAHAHAH.



 Uhm,  yeah.. those numbers mean nothing.  I'd imagine more than half quit anywhere between a year and two years ago.  Hell, I have buddies who quit the first week of the game that you'll find on EQ2players.

That was old even when it was put up, probably from around the time of the DoF expansion. It’s certainly higher then that now. SOE has 680 000 subscriptions total and EQ2 is the most popular of the three games that make up most of that number. The other two are EQ1 and SWG both of which are well under 200K at this point.

EQ1 - 200k (probably less)

SWG - 110k (probably less)

PS - 20k

MxO - 30k

total - 360k

Total SOE subs - 680k

360k - 680k = 320k EQ2 subs

I’m guessing there is some double counting due to all access.  I.E. someone who has EQ1, EQ2 and SWG on their all access account is counted as 3 separate subscriptions.  

 

This would tend to inflate the numbers for EQ1 and SWG my WAG is that they are a little higher then we normally think of them, so it would look more like:

EQ2: 150K base + 90K all access = 240K

EQ1: 100K base + 90K all access = 190K

SWG:100K base + 90K all access = 190K

 

Total = 620K with other games making up the difference either on all access or separately.  This number was reported pre Vanguard which is why it's not included.

Suuuure they can't! 

 

If EQ2 had over 300k subscribers like the op was leading us to believe, that fact would be mentioned by SOE/ Sony on a daily basis - they'd love to have that many subscribers for an individual game.

 

 

Yeebo

Actually the 300K estimate is pretty close to the low end estimate given by the OP.  Both numbers arrived at by very different methods.  Until someone can show me something recent and pretty compelling to the contrary, I'm buying the "roughly 300K subs."  EoF was a pretty popular expansion, I don't think 300 K is unreasonable. 



In addition, the sheer number of new MMO players that WoW has brought in recently  is probably a bit of a windfall for EQ II.  Some proportion of players that leave WoW will want something similar, but with perhaps a bit more depth.  EQ II is really the only game out right now that fit's that bill and has much visibility (An aside: Vanguard has pretty good visibility now....but doesn't have a bit more depth...it's like going from arthmatic to calculus.  In addition it currently runs like feces on most PCs....not very appealing to most former WoWers).  Hell, they ought to give a free client and a month sub to anyone that can prove they played WoW recently if they really want to grow their player base.



All in all, I don't think 300K players is an unreasonable number.   It's still pretty meager compared to what these cames are capable of.  Less than EQ had at it's peak.  Why all the vehement insistence that it's only 150k?
