It sure seems like it’ll be several years before the game is released. Of course I could see things completely wrong, but that's my thought.The reveal trailer did not indicate even a release window. You're bound to run into times where it just feels empty compared to year(s) back. Now spread those out over 17 servers, with different time zones and different peak times. But there's a nice amount of F2P on top of that. With Kofte being a reason to be sub, I do think we might still have those 500k subs, give or take. Eitherway, it's hard to tell ingame as there are way more locations these days for everyone to be hiding. So I don't think it matters how many players there are.

We can at least say the game will be quite profitable. Now if you consider how much of an income is generated from that at little expensive for them. I do know for a fact, this was before F2P and before the CM. So you'll have to excuse me if my memory is off. Granted this was before release or during the first year. On a side note, I do recall EA or Bioware once stating in an interview that they would only need 500k subscribers to sustain the game. Now maybe non-subscribers have left in droves since then, but if there is still even a 1-to-1 ratio of subscribers to non-subscriber players, then that would mean there had been about 1,000,000 players in Oct-Dec, and the necessary drop-off would have to be closer to 80% of players leaving in the past five months in order to dip below 200,000.If someone asked for my 'best guess' based on the numbers we've gotten in the past, I'd say a little north of 400,000 subs and 800,000 - 900,000 players. If the number of subscribers had dropped during those 15 months, then hitting 1 million in Aug 2014 would have meant there were more non-subscribers than subscribers playing. If the number of subscribers had stayed at 500,000 since the May 2013 announcement 15 months prior, then that would mean the ratio was about 1-to-1. but if I did, my best guess about it would be something along these lines: in Aug 2014 the combined total had more than a million playing each month (time stamp 0:50 on the video). Factoring in the F2P and preferred players would take a lot more guesswork, so I wouldn't want to rely on that. So, that on its own is my basis for why I find it most plausible that we have hundreds of thousands of players. I don't think that more than half of the players have left this game in the past five months alone (plus I don't think the number of F2P and Preferred is actually negligible - I'm just leaving them out because they're an unknown). We haven't had any announcements on player numbers since then (all we know is that 'extra content' revenue is up for Jan-Mar), but if subscribers alone were around 500,000 then even completely ignoring F2P and Preferred players, it would have required a 60% drop-off to get below 200,000 (for the plural).

Therefore, we know subscribers were already below a million by July 2012, we know that 500,000 was where the subscribers 'stabilized' at the end of that decline by May 2013, and they said that in Oct-Dec their subscriber numbers were back up to the highest they've been since sometime in between those two, but for the sake of discussion we'll put the subscriber count at the low end of that range, ~500,000 subscribers, five months ago (which isn't counting in all the additional players who are F2P or preferred). We know the subscriber number dropped below 1 million subs by July 2012, (about three-and-a-half years prior to their 'highest in three years' announcement) but after F2P launched the number 'stabilized' at just under 500,000 by May 2013 (about two-and-a-half years prior to the 'three years' announcement). Three years prior would have been late 2012, when the game was in its infamous post-launch decline. Sure thing - so in Oct-Dec 2015, they said they hit their highest subscriber level in three years.
