I don't really thing any of the new crop of games are going to suck away any players who wouldn't have left for other reasons.
I haven't played EQ2, but have played tons of WoW. It's a very different game and is going to appeal to a very different type of player. We may see our population dip when it comes out, but if they like SoR then they will be back.
Will SoR survive November?

The other night, I was listenting to regional chat on the NA server. On who appeared to be a beta tester was relating a recent chat he had with a GM. He said the GM was very concerned over Ryzom's success as the NA registration was only about 800, and that the european servers weren't much better.
I only hope that it is not true!

I would take that with a grain of salt.
Regardless of whether or not it was fabricated, there are at least 100 players on each of the 4 regions on the NA server in primetime. Keep in mind that many of us have bought the box in the last month and are not yet paying for it on a monthly basis.
Box/Download sales have definitely hit 5k worldwide.
Why is everyone so ready to call the death knoll of this game? It hasn't even been out a month! If it's because we all enjoy it and hope the best for it, don't worry, it will be around!

Can I ask where you got that info? Not disputing it, just curious.
Call me Legion, for we are many...

It's not... just speculation. I'm all about optimistic speculation
But, lessee.... if 100 players are on per primary region during primetime, then let's call that 400 players online. Let's assume there's double that amount in subscribers, at least. So 800 per server * 4 = 3200 subscribers.
A lot players have bought the game and quit already. Surely there's X number buying per day.... conservatively, just a guess.
Maybe too optimistic, sure, but it seems a reasonable guesstimate to me.

Again, I understand Trykers are the minority population but I have never seen 100 online in Trykerville. Maybe in Noobville at start. I dont think the game will go underby January, but I do think the November effect will at least halve the already diminished population-More if patch 1 doesnt fix Tryker and doesnt meet expectaions. Just as a side thought, I know I have read there is guild vs. guild competion down the line in SoR, didnt the tryker issue put them at an almost permanent disadvantage?

I see lots of trykers running around and escaping from trykerland
I don't think you will find most of them in tryker lands though
