I've got a 'metric' I'd like to see CCP reveal that does not suffer from any inaccuracies or abstract difficulty whatsoever, and that's the number of accounts that are presently active, minus trial accounts. That report should be easily accomplished via one line of SQL, and I'm sure it's already being run.
/Imma' gonna' go out on a limb, and bet right now that number is significantly less than 450K.

there's over 50k on right now, and over 25k at the lowest/slowest time of day.
isn't that good enough?
You are confusing the # of players connected to the server with the total number of active (i.e. paid somehow) accounts.
players Gëá accounts

Would that be the 450K "subscriber" number being currently bandied-about by CCP?
Otherwise, please direct me to the material. I don't think I've seen anything where they disclose exactly how the number of "subscribers" is determined (or defined) but I obviously cannot see or read everything that might be available. If CCP's definition of a "subscriber" is in fact the same as what I described, that would be news to me, and awesome for them.

You are confusing the # of players connected to the server with the total number of active (i.e. paid somehow) accounts. players Gëá accounts no. what i'm saying is: there's still tons of people that play the game, so the number of active accounts is irrelevant to us, the common player. when the max number of concurrent daily logins drops to the 40-45k range, then maybe it's time for concern.
"Tons of people" does not produce a usable numeric result in my spreadsheet so it's quite relevant to this uncommon player's interests.

This might help in terms of context:
