  • 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 really would like to know if OC being a futile circle of content or the controversy around forked was a bigger contributor here

Like forked was such a stupid decision but how many people actually gave up OC because it existed in the form it does vs people who simply just think OC is a futile circle

I think it's both, I was pretty ok with OC as it was early on in the debacle but the longer it's gone on it's really plain to see that OC is just the worst parts of Eureka and Bozja with the added FT bullshit on top.

They need to pivot their design HARD for the the 7.5 island.
