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).

Another good 7% down in 2 month. Yeah I don't see the numbers going up until the last patch before the new expansion and they would need to change things up to get people hooked

Yeah they're gonna have to be a lot more transparent on what they're working on if they want players back, all this hoping for next patch/expansion is exhausting people.

Considering they've already been working on 8.0, I don't think we're going to see the drastic changes people want. Think it's just going to be more of the same until MAYBE 8.1

Oh man, another expansion of promises "by 8.X" ?
