When DAOC first launched, the subscriber base quickly rose up to almost 250,000 subscribers by July, 2002 and then started to fall off to about 210,000 subscribers by January 2003 where "Shrouded Isles" expansion was released and populations climbed back up slightly, then in November 2003 populations once again rose to 250,000 with the release of the "Trials of Atlantis" expansion and remained at that level until October 2004 when market competition caused these numbers to gradually decrease over time. As of January 2008, the estimated number of subscribers was 50,000. By June 2011, individual subscribers are estimated to have fallen below 5,000.
Mythic won't announce subscriber or current user numbers however it is the general opinion of players and off the record staff that subscriber numbers are on the rise during 2011, with a lot of returning players and interest in the 10 year anniversary.

Famous quotes containing the word base:
“I am sure my bones would not rest in an English grave, or my clay mix with the earth of that country. I believe the thought would drive me mad on my death-bed could I suppose that any of my friends would be base enough to convey my carcass back to her soil. I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
