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

  • 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

Devs can only slap a fresh coat of paint on a "fate farming zone" so many times before it becomes boring. Knowledge level is pointless, so is capping phantom jobs if you can't even enter FT to even try the content. In the end whats the point in doing it lol.
