Did some math, and at the rate we're perma-losing players, we have about 600 days left before you're down to the last two players duking it out over and over. Much fewer I would suppose as matchmaking and teambuilding disintegrates from the lowering player count.
So, my guess is 325 days, and then servers are re-tasked as score-keepers for Game of Candy Birds or eHarmony hubs.

Let's hope.

I have a couple of questions tho.
In new player creation did you account for the fact that we have gone from like 50% of those being people farming alts and trolling down to like 5 - 10% because of alt farming getting nerfed?
In the decline on daily logins did you account for the changes in seasons contributing to people being on less thus driving the max online players down?
Don't get me wrong I totally agree that the graphs are going in the wrong direction until something drastically changes I am just playing devils advocate for all the fanboys that are going to say there is no way for you to calculate that.
There is no precise calculation for anything, but considering the logical plateau we went through even after the Fanfest debacle, and the staunching of the wound that reducing alt-farming might have produced (although I believe it somewhat did the opposite), this title is still bleeding population. If the MM shift helps, which it really might, you might, just might get closer to the hard-line 600. But, nah, one calendar year at most, and Dust takes the dirt-nap.
