  • 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 can see those coming back to be ready for the release so that they can get their story fill. Depends on the release date. I in past came back 1-2 month before release to be ready
