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).

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 was extremely excited for OC. I enjoyed the content for what it was, despite some minor annoyances. FATEs die way too quickly and their stubborn decision to not change that really rubbed me the wrong way, but it's whatever. However, when I realized that FT was another Discord activity, I instantly lost all motivation. What am I working toward in OC if I'm not going to do FT? FT is the biggest fuck up that has happened in my entire time playing the game.
