I was wondering how popular STO is today compaired to when it first came out? I tried goggling the information but there wasn't anything straight forward. I really love how the game has evolved sense it first came online and I am hoping its still a popular game today :) s o if anyone knows the answer to the question please let me know

    Last we knew "Officially", it was stated in the 2 million ballpark.

    Many of us had doubts about the authenticity of that though.

    Hello,

    it's a easy question but difficult to answer because there are no official numbers. And you must distinguish the count of "registered" players. They could be simple newsletter recipient or real money paying (gold) members. I heard 2 millions but this is very high i think that this nummber includes all accounts (1 time registered ...). In 2010 there were 100k gold members. I think 300k active members should be possible.
    STO got a huge boost of members since F2P went live.

    Ok i will do some math. Cryptic said there are 2 million "CAPTAINS/TOONS" in the game. Captains are not players. 2 million captains maybe every player has 3 "TOONS" i have 10. :P
    2000000/3 = about 670k. So now we can say 670k registered player maximum. I would say 50% of them are (rarely) playing people or 1 time player. I think we could have about 300-350k aktive players (F2P includet).

    I'd put the active closer to the mid 400k range. Global game and all that.
