In the 1.05 patch, one of the news was revamped statistics. In short, everything makes a lot more sense these days, as active players will tell you.

So this is cool, 700,000 player accounts is massive. Eurogamer compares:
To put that in perspective: long-running space-trading cult EVE Online is known to have around 250,000 active player accounts, while World of Warcraft famously has 10 million. Korean hits Lineage and Lineage II are thought to have around a million subscribers apiece.
