I don't know where they came up with the hundreds of thousands, unless they're including everyone who's ever had an account with them since their inception when they were still available only on GEnie.
But I can say with fair certainty that they *probably* have tens of thousands of current accounts, though many of them are probably on hold, while many others are multiple accounts all held and paid for by the same person.
They truly *are* a "massively multiplayer" text game. That you've never heard of them is actually pretty surprising. They're the most popular commercially produced online RPG, and the company Simutronics was written up in one of those Fortune-type magazines for revenue growth a few years back.
No, I don't play there anymore (haven't in a couple of years), and no, I'm not offering any opinion on the matter. I've already submitted my review where it belongs. Just wanted to clarify that one point.
