I am assuming Live and EQL share the same player base. The raw graph is not dramatic:

But the 7-day does make the trend clear:

Since I doubt any live player is cancelling their subs, or ongoing character plans on live, all we are doing is observing how much disposable cash and time eq players actually have for this Uber You version of the everquest nintendo. We can clearly assume interest.

No idea if these numbers meet Jawn's needs. If it does, they've won. This demo won't cancel a 20 dollar a month game as long as they're strung in.
I'm assuming our player base in 2026 is only the finest quality of weirdo, no OD's or "damn I forgot the baby was in the bath" guild drama anymore. So maybe Jawn has a year-long game of ~20,000 nominally functional human beings.
Jawn would like those 20,000 players to stick around. The players are in that "if you have to worry about this, I feel sorry for you" stage of dropping a hunnert bucks on pay to play.
People in general have funny ways of enjoying being a sucker whilst at the same time arguing, this is not sucking, but riches you see. I get it. I pay a couple grand a year to see the Cleveland Orchestra. What, Spotify is too good for me? I'm clearly just a sucker.
