Yeah, but it's an opportunity to reread the original review - still amusing.

Note the key word here is registered with regards to the statistic.

I have a registered account, and spent approximately one hour playing before realising "hang on, this is utter shit" before vowing never to return.

It didn't help that about 99% of the player characters in the starter zone I found myself in where goldselling spambots. Subtract those and you're looking at about a hundred players.

To be fair, I registered, attmepted to install, it broke and I gave up. So at least 1 user hasn't even played it ever. Not a second. Or even a millisecond.

I think this is the norm in MMO's and online services, they don't say how many are currently playing only how many have registered. I think 2nd Life has been doing this for a very long time, and was criticised for doing so, but its better from a PR point of view to say 1 million than 50 thousand...

Anyway I think its still a milestone regardless of the numbers playing.

Isn't this game which had 'Life time Subscription' when it was first released?

I actually tried this piece of crap for a couple of days in the summer. I didn't find any cubes of jelly, but I found a static, void world with almost nothing to do. It was crap when EG review it and I can't see what has improved since.
