I don’t really know where all these players are coming from.
There’s a press release about City of Heroes breaking the 100k subscriptions mark, even more surprising is the result of Lineage 2 at 60k (considering the value of the game). Both numbers are referred to North America only.
In the press release there’s a lot of bragging about the smooth launches as well. I tried to track the official one but all I managed to find is the link to Warcry.
