What exactly is dishonest about saying that 700 players are playing matches that have a certain meaning to them and their teams? The terms for me to discribe that is 'competition', maybe you have a different one in Sweden.
Maybe in Germany people can just make up statistics and still be considered honest?
Unless I'm misunderstanding you here and you really want to suggest that people playing casually on a server are engaged in competitive gaming. Which is defiantly something you can argue, but I'd say that's a needlessly broad if not silly way to talk about gaming (casual vs. competitive). But hey, if you want to use a specific definition of arguable application to the topic then be my guest.
For example, we could definitely claim that every game of soccer is competitive, but I'd say you've gone fishing if you want to suggest that we should be counting a game played between say some school children during recess as comparable to that at professional or even amateur level (playing in leagues/tournaments).
However, to forestall what I expect will be some post about how I suck, let's add "organized" to competitive in order to be clear.
Do you think that there are currently 700 players involved in "organized" competitive matches in Warband? Or really, realistically, how many players would you suggest active participate in a tournament in a given month?

What am I thinking trying to argue with some disconnected forum moderator (like the vast majority of moderators in this forum actually), that spends his time posting obviously very productive posts in the off topic section? So on this one I'll happily take your advice... son... and do something more productive.
So close, so close, just remember in the future that we moderators are too disconnected from our humanity to care if you go for personal attacks.
GG close, for the solid if disappointing effort.
