MMOs require more reasoning and imagination than most stereotypically ''adult'' activities.

As far as MMORPG's go, few producers provide exact numbers.  There are exceptions in the case of very successful games, i.e. Any game producers with over a million subscribers like to brag about it.  But games that aren't doing so well, like TR, won't be publishing their ever-shrinking population numbers because it might scare off new potential players who don't want to invest time and money in a dying game.

You''ve been a bad girl Miss Liberty, now go to my room!

I play on all the servers and I see people all around the maps, one thing was needed though is a better way to get into groups, and they finaly got that going in test server now so that's cool.

I would geuss about 100,000 subs. and going on the up swing, sinve the low swing has gone past now it seems.

E&B, SWG, EVE, AO, TR, EU, GW, PS, RV, CoX

According to MMOGChart.com TR is lucky to claim even 75k subs.  Frankly, I've never found MMOGChart.com to be that far off the mark.  I have no idea why people here give that guy so much shit.  He doesn't pull his numbers out of thin air.

It's important to keep in mind that TR has done so poorly, both in terms of boxes sold and active subscriptions, that NCSoft didn't even bother to mention the product once in their last fiscal report to shareholders.

I'd have to agree with MMOGCharts too. The guy is very smart, taking different sales numbers, and word-of-mouth popularity combined with actual company statements and gets a very close estimate of subs. TR was last done around March 08, at 75k subs. I'd say it's going down moderately, but surely (probably around 50-60k subs).

If they got LFG and PUG-forming sorted out, I'd be back there like a shot. 

Like CoX, TR doesn't have much going for it apart from the combat, but, like CoX, the combat is really, really good, and particularly good fun in groups.  But I think the devs had some bizarre idea that all grouping would be Guild based, and I think they really missed a trick early on not making TR as PUG-friendly as CoX. 

TR is an ideal PUGging combat MMO.

Guru, I agree.  I finally purchased the game, and I am having a great deal of fun with it, but I came back to the game with 3 others, so we always have a group.  Id hate to try it solo.

A good PUG system like CoH would actually make this game immensely more enjoyable.  I know there is some changes to the LFG system in Deployment 10 coming out soon.

Yeah this game is weird, although you can solo most of it, I wouldn't play alone, I always play with a friend or PUG.

You're asking the fanbios what the populations are?

Try this, take the average estimate they all provide for you, then divide that by 10.  That is most likely the ACTUAL population of Tabula Rasa.  I played the game 4 months ago and it was dead and dying at a fast pace.

I would be shocked if it had 50K subs even then.

NCSoft publishes its sub numbers every quarter.

Here is the report.

financial reports for the Q1 performance of NCSoft

The problem with TR appears that it is so low and weak in sales, they didn't bother to list the sub numbers. Its sales are pathetic.
