In 7 days you can currently grind your character up to nearly the levels your ancestor was at (if not more) if you're a member of a decent town.
As far as player numbers... Just looked and there's about 240 people playing. If we take a conservative number of just 4 times this (because we're about EU peak time) for total number of active players, that's about 1000. There's been how many beta keys given out so far? about 4000-5000 in the last week or so? Let's say they sent out that many over the last beta phase. That's a retention of about 10%, which, given the fact it's advertised as a permadeath open PvP game, is pretty good, I think. I really can't relate this to other games, but most indie games with mass beta invites like this don't have high retention rates, either.
