By the end of a camp there's normally over 5000 ranked players.  Just open the clipboard and sort the roster by rank and scroll to the bottom. 

You have to have flown a sortie to get ranked for the camp so this number doesn't include any subscriber that hasn't flown that month.  And while moot is right in how ties and the next ranked player are shown anyone who has flown without a score is ranked 0 and they are just all tied with the first ranked player who has scored ranked #1.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

My guess is somewhere in the neighborhood of 9,000-9,500 accounts.  I did this buy dividing their annual revenue of $1,750,000.00 by 12.  Then dividing that by 14.95.



How did you come up with this annual revenue? Is it published or is it your best guess of 9500 paying costumers times 15, times 12..which is actually 1,710,000?   9,755 customers ='s 1.75 mil a year

And where did you come up with HTCs annual revenue?

Not to mention there is a fairly large pool of guys who only fly scenarios. Or who only log in for FSO.

Looking at late war ranks leaves out everyone from early and mid who doesn't go in there.

3-4 years ago I used to guess around 6k total accounts including doubles, shades, etc is I think a fairly good ballpark guess. But I suspect thats gone up since then.

Jeez, easy with the uncalled for insults.

If this isn't right take it up with them.  Leave me out of it.

It's okay.  I'm the target of choice these days.  And appropriately so I have to admit.  The whole thing.  My persistence and name... I would hate me too :(
