430k seems high for people who actually play eq.
The problem with the numbers sony has released is they never define the metric they use to count players (besides simultaneous logins). I imagine, if they wanted to make the populations seem larger, Sony could count every station account as an everquest account, even though many probably don't play eq.
According to wikipedia, the last time they released numbers was jan 14th, 2004, which to me indicates that the population has gone down since then:

This leaves the peak and current number of subscriptions for EQ to secondary sources.
