Just as any MMO, after the first month, the subs are going down. It's nowhere near dying though, I was just unlucky in choosing a server at launch. There is still loads of servers with Standart population and several with Heavy/Full, during peak times. And that's only EU side. US has even more players.
Problem is, after you cleared PvE content, which consists of 2 raids, there is not much to do. There is no ranked PvP yet (will come in next major update), no cross-server pvp warzones/battlegrounds, so if you happen to be on low pop server, you're boned.
But all those problem really only kick in after you reached max level, and honestly, every MMO has these problems shortly after launch ^^.
EDIT: By loads of servers, I mean loads. As of yet, there is 91 EU servers, 5-6 of them is light populated during peak times, rest is Standart and about 8-10 is heavy/full.
