2010 Census

[Khiinroye]

The census info is outdated prior to it being posted, at least in the mythics category. There is at least one aymur already completed, as of May 19.

I wish they would give out the user numbers, I think FFXI is actually doing pretty well atm.

That would be nice to see, with the number of active POL accounts, rather than the number of active characters. Showing both would work too.

MNK ftw. Thanks for the Census! very interesting read.

Mnk nothing, it's the 7th ranked job for being lvled to 90. Rdm is higher. lol

No race and model/job distribution this time? =( Granted it was pretty much always the same because certain models are just that much better than others (Mithra 6A anyone?), but still...

I think the problem is that there just isn't a steady influx of new players like there used to be. I'm guessing the ammount of new customers for this game is sharply declining by the month. Now that would have been an interesting statistic to see, but ya not likely

I am truly dissapoint by no information about percentages of people logging in using PS2/Xbox360/PC. Maybe if we knew the values, the "sorry, PS2 limitations" mantra would gain some credibility?

Next, we move to mythic weapons, which have also increased somewhat since the last census, if not to the degree of relics. While we expect to see a rise in popularity changes after the planned Aht Urhgan adjustments, at the present most mythic weapons remain extremely rare.

SE has already stated that 30k alexandrite requirement will stay. Makes me wonder how mythics are going to raise in popularity considering 30k alex (~30-50 drop per Salvage?), 100 assaults (dead event), 100k Nyzul tokens (somewhat dead event), 100k Einherjar ampules (dead event), 3 ZNM trophies (dead event + getting ~40k zeni for each pop), king titles and, for dessert, you losing pop items if you disconnect during the final fight. If this got fixed I bet alot more people would rush to get their Murgleis (avesome macro piece every 10min or for the meele RDM!), Tizona, Aymur, Kogarasumaru, Nagi or even Vajra! I await with curiosity for what future brings.

I must admit some census information was actually fun to see (notorious Sand Sweepers) summed up, but things like how many active SCH57's Windurst Rank4 are there today on my server I can pull up from FFXIAH this very moment if I'm curious.

I dont think you can really get good data on what system people are logging into because accounts are global and can be logged into on any of the 3 systems.
