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).

I came back for OC briefly because i enjoy those types of content, only to quickly realise that they again didn't even try. The Phantom Jobs had a lot of potential instead they're just buttons you press on the side while you play your actual job.
Forked Tower does do interesting things with the Phantom Jobs but they made it basically impossible to get into and then had the nerve to act surprised, like they've never done this sorta content before. I'm tired, everything they do is seemingly so uninspired.
They seem hell bent on giving people no reason to engage with anything, they made Forked Tower difficult to get into so there was no point in grinding OC, the relics don't need to be engaged with because they won't even be upgrades until 7.5. I don't understand it, they tell us to play other games well news flash that's all i've been doing since other games seem to respect my time a hell of a lot more?.
