I wouldn't call over 400,000 players '[not] a huge number'. It's the 2nd or 3rd most popular paid-subscription MMO.

As you can see here http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility , there is about 44k people online at this point, probably a bit less since most people have more than one account.

That seems like a fairly substantial amount of users in a single world. Is there any other game world with this many active users in a single world?

The specific, relative number of subscribers is not the point.

That said, I wouldn't call something huge when there are comparables (even if it's just one or two) which dwarf it and others which (at some point) exceeded it.
