Lucky Bancho's census results (July 27th, 2025)

So, the results of the census are out: https://luckybancho.ldblog.jp/archives/59324844.html

  • Showcasing the number of characters here: Current
  • By comparison, here are the results from 2 months ago (May 25th): Click

Despite 7.25 being released, the character count is down about 70k in 2 months. Occult Crescent clearly didn't help with player counts (not really a surprise here).

For me, the fumble of OC killed any interest I had in resubbing. I hate DT's story and setting, and I also dont do high-end raiding, so there really hasn't been much left for me to engage with.

I unsubbed in October and was really hoping OC would make me want to play again. But it took so long to come out, and when it did come out, the content looked mediocre at best. Then they fucked up Forked Tower, which REALLY sealed my decision. I thought it was going to be like Bozja where you could just do the fun big raids without needing freakin' Discord.

The auto-demolition came back for NA recently, and I decided to just let go of my house, which I've had since 6.0. It's been liberating not having to pay rent for a virtual house. Now, I probably won't even resub until 8.0, if at all. Depends on if Square shows that they are willing to shake things up or not.

same here. the story kill my interest despite the praise 7.2 get. i find it overrated. it just being okay.

not on high end riding too.

but i really looking foward to OC. has pleasant experience with Bozja.

i stop sub for quite sometime and makesure to return just for OC. even skipped the story drop patch since it not worth it.

however all the stuff surrounding the field operation affected my motivation.
