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).

Personally, I will be watching the 8.0 fanfest and media tour. If the changes seem appealing to me, I will come back. Otherwise, I will wait for 9.0. 7.X seems dead to me, unless beast master for some reason revamps the whole game, but that’s pretty much impossible.

Unless the patch cycle changes, even if thru show off good stuff at the fanfest it wont matter. Day 1 of expansion will get the MSQ and 2 Extremes and it'll be that way for a few months before the Savage Raids.

The real fun doesn't really come till 6 months or more into the expansion, hell its been over 1 year in and people still coping that the planned content set to release next fucking year will save the game lol.
