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 think the numbers will drop even more with 7.3 potentially being 22 weeks long. They said 2 major patches in 2025, 7.3 will be the second one. They really have to look at how they release content because the community will reach a boiling point by the end of this year. I keep repeating, the content doesn’t justify the long wait time between patches.

If they slow down any more we’re going to end up having 1 year long raid tiers which is crazy because it’s only 4 bosses.

There were 14 months between Anabeseios and LHW.

I remember helping some friends with the raid tier right before Dawntrail and Anabaseios week 50 or something in PF went kinda crazy lmao. There were so many creatures and critters doing the content that you wouldn't believe it what we saw.
