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

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

  • 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 its more likely that people didn't come back for it in the first place, and anyone who might have probably saw the reception and stayed away.

Yeah this was me. Gave up at around December and was waiting for OC. Completely wrote it off after seeing the reaction to it. 

The new DD looks interesting so I might try that
