A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule.

Once you meat your personal goal you might want to give that some consideration.

Good grief Meat, you're hopeless. You would label the simple act of taking a shit as someone obeying the divine law of nature to leave a proof of existence.

have not really played in almost a month now.

i picked "who gives a shit as long as there are exploits"

sadly exploits do not even seem to have enough of a draw to get me in game these days.

i would guess more than 20k players but would be shocked to find out it was more than 40k. all servers seem extra dead on the times i can be bothered to let akami rerape my system to login (more than once to get in game) and stare at empty lfm tab again. but its been several weeks so maybe the game population picked up after i gave up, again.

I would say an average session is 4 hours per day. 

There are 6 play sessions per 24 hour day.

Per those four hours, at 2000 active players, accounting for anonymous.  I know you all won't agree, but a lot of players that you KNOW are on line because they are typing in chat channels do not show up on the WHO panel.

using higher math that is
6 play sessions * 2000 players per session = 12000 players

7 server * 12,000 = 84,000 active players + 1000 for wayfinder = 85,000 active players.

I will guess a grand total of 85,000 ACTIVE players.

Turbine only has 7700 follower's on Twitter.
Google+ = 2900
Turbine Facebook = 9500
DDO Facebook = 134,000  (did not know this.  Are these a lot of fake accounts?
LOTRO Facebook = 306,000

It wasn't his son. It was the postman's.

I wonder if maybe the yellow gelatinous cube companion had anything to do with that number?

It isn't a bad rule of thumb. Due to the idiotic storage thing,I have a linked account via FB and I also have 2 or 3 more rotations. The whole structure is idiotic TBH.

There's still some around.

Ditto.  I do not exist in the social media world.  Drives my friends and family nuts.

I just posted those numbers because they were available.

I do not have a gelatinous cube pet.  In my opinion, the pet companion things have to be one of the stupidest things in DDO.

Well I have a google+ account... because I had a google groups account from long ago.
( Actually it didn't start as a Google account, but it was merged into one at some time in the past... I still receive an occasional mail from the mailing lists I'm subscribed to )

I use it ( and picasa ) to dump pictures I have to share with others.
( like the photos taken when I go rock climbing with teens, so that they can show their parents and friends )
