There's no solid numbers on this because its all speculative at this point no matter what people tell you
The only thing I can tell you is all servers on the weeknights and weekends are at Medium for the exception of about 5 servers which are labeled at heavy,
During the rest of the week everything is at medium.

I dont think so lol
You show me links where EQ2 developers give current numbers and I'll stick with that. In the meantime, Ive never seen official numbers (and game outlet stores do nothing for me in terms of proof)
No offense to you. I just go by things officially and not through second and third party guesses. I work for SOE as a volunteer GM of sorts and I dont even know the answers.

Developers know nothing, its the marketing people that have the crunchy numbers and real statistics on numbers of subscribers.
3rd party sources usually get its database through the marketing department. for 150k, i think thats the old amount.. considering reading EQ2 forums.. 103k is the semi-round figure.

If you only rely on official information, you must have a really hard time navigating through life. Take some risks. Risk does not translate exactly to loss. Often times a gamble is the wise course.
Of course, since you do work for SOE (volunteer or no), you do have reason not to like the reports by some. A bias can affect ones ability to accept risks.

I get through life very well without knowing the official numbers for EQ2. My point of my reply to the OP is that no one knows the true answer and its been debated on EQ2 mmorpg.com forums for years now. I don't know how me refusing to say what the amount is when I dont know is me having a hard time navigating through life.

Alrighty then. Then again, I have no idea what this has to do with the original posters question about subscription numbers. Do a search on this in these forums. Thousands of posts were already done and it always resulted in the same debate with no answers.

Seriously, what are you talking about lol. Just because I dont know the exact answer of subscription numbers and just because I dont like to post what the numbers are if I dont know myself does not make me a bias sony player who cannot take risks.
I appreciate your concern but I seriously think you read too much into my post

I personally felt a significant drop in population when Vanguard came out, and to a lesser extent, TBC. Some guilds I know lost half of their players. The vast majority of those have come back and the popualtion feels no different than before those games come out.
But as we EQ2ers know, at this time EQ2>WoW. If both games were lauched today with all xpacks etc included, it would be EQ2 that would go on to have 8 million subs and not the other way around.
I think you're dreaming.
There was a spike in sales after EoF's launch but since then people have been quitting by the hundreds. Just look at www.stationexchange.com. Level 70 characters selling for less than $100 with no bids and more popping up daily. Many people labeled EoF "strike three" and that's why the servers are barren.
The only barrier to new blood coming in to the game is feeble marketing and scarcity of boxes in the stores. Certainly here in the UK I can't find the game in any local store and even the online stores that carry it never have it in stock more than a few days before selling out.

You must not be looking very hard. Try re-rolling an alt on any server. Populations are extremely sparse from 10-60
EoF was the worst expansion to date. Most players were already level 70 and it offered very little content for that level range. Most people rerolled Faes but quickly wore of the novelty and then the mass exodus began. People have been quitting and selling their players on Station Exchange in droves and the prices on characters have gone from in the $300-$400 range to under $100 if you're lucky.
I really hope that they sort it out and We can all get on to playing great games.
Sorry if this sounds like a flame but it isn't.
I wish you all well.

Now, whenever I've been online with EQ2, most servers have been medium to heavy (any time of day). They aren't lacking subscribers.
On the european Runnyeye server I can find players in just about any level range, nothing barren about that server! I like EoF but they have to be careful not to overdo the expansions with more and more huge landmasses, original EQ really suffers from that. No one plays in the original areas on EQ1 (at least not when I quit that game).
