Has this game reached over 1 million subs??
Also do you think with the merge that this game could take a new direction and gain more players.

War... 1 milion... are you out of YFM? I would be surprised to see they have over 100.000
REALITY CHECK
Nowhere near a million subs and the oft-quoted number of 300,000 is probably inflated.
With whats been happening at Mythic over the last few days the sub numbers are more than likely a hell of alot lower than most people think.
Estimates place it at around 300,000 active subs.
LOL @ 1 million subs. You must be joking.
But how does any of this matter? Try the game. Play it if you like it. Or don't.
Rofl... you need to actually read the news stories before talking garbage like that.
Anyways, on topic, the last official numbers were 300,000, well below the 700,000 sub numbers that they had soon after launch (the hype train wins once again!). With that said, I don't think it's unreasonable for the OP to ask if they have had 1 million subs yet. If Mythic had done a better job with the endgame, I fully believe they would have at least 1 million subs by now. However, they didn't, and this is where they sit.
As for server merges, I do believe that would help SOME servers, but not most of them. The very lowest of the low, of which there are about 4 or 5, could do with a merge, but it isn't necessary as of yet. From the official server forums it seems that all the tiers are active with RvR at least during peak times, and sometimes during off hours. If the subscriber base lowers, mergers will need to happen to keep the game fun. After all, this game only works if people are playing it!

Rofl do you actually believe they have 300k subs now last report was in March which was when the game still had server hitting high pop and several other servers have died since then, also the last repot numbers where inflated by the games Launch in Russia which has since flopped and is down to 1 server so yes i'am pretty certain there's less than 300k playing now.
I would say 100-200k would be a good estimate. Bad launch plus less content than promised equals lower than expected numbers and mass-evacuation of servers. That number of people is ok if they maintain it. The way it's going, however, I doubt it.
I am playing on European server, names Kazak something if I remember right. The maximum population I have ever seen in game was in T2, Orders have 2-1/2 warbands and Chaos about the same. Total for T2 at that time was 120 players. Some very small PQ 2-5 player.
When the Chaos attack Altdorf then you won't see people in other Tier, so I guess people swap their alts between T2-T4 frequently. And that was the overall population.
In the morning of weekday, I never seen a full warband made by 24 players. If some other countries may have holiday, then it is possible to find a half warband. Since most people already knows that it is difficult to do anything in the morning so it is occassionally to find a party doing battle objectives. Most of the time, you login and logout or don't even need to try in the morning.
The server getting more people around 4-5 pm, and the peak time is after 7pm CET lasting for about 5 hours. You could find maximum 2 full warband on T3 or T2, and T4, so I think our server may have about 500-600 players spread all over T1 to T4. Not many T1 trial players. It's pointless to play 10 days and recreate a new trial account.
600 players x EURO 12,50 = 7,500 EURO = US$ 10,500 which is still good income for one server, I think. Besides, there are German, French servers as well. Total income for European servers over US$ 1 million per month. So 1 Million is not subscriber number but their income.
Warhammer is not better than some F2P on the market but they have good income so I think some F2P must have certain faith to try to collect monthly fee than relying on item mall.
This game is now under 150-200K in the U.S. probably. That doesn't matter though if you get on the three busy servers.
Start a character on the three busiest ones and you might not have a problem. Go anywhere else, and in a month you will regret it and want to quit.
"TO MICHAEL!"
