The only reason the game has any players at all is because they changed their entire business model due to the fact their playerbase was nonexistent with subscription fees. Now with a one time payment it's become a casual mmo that has a surge of players due to just releasing, and if you don't think it'll quickly lose that playerbase just like any other game you are fooling yourself. It couldnt sustain the hardcore crowd it definitely won't sustain the casuals.
