Lodestone Survey (unofficial Eorzean Census)

[DragonFlyy]

It is not done according to forums, but lodestone.
So it doesn't matter if the people don't even know about forums.

My appologies then. I thought by survey it was a filled out survey. Usually how it works. This is more of an automated census. Not sure how it works though since it wouldn't tell us how many active accounts there are. Or when an account isn't paid, can you not search for the the player on lodestone? And what about alt characters? Are those equally obvious because I have 6 characters total, across three different servers. (2 regions even). Are each of those counted individually? If so then I am skewing the findings myself.

Tried the site for myself, doesn't seem to load any information. Everything remains blank even after selecting a world.

The OP does say "The Lodestone Survey is still ongoing and counting the active characters"

I'd guess a more accurate number would be 500,000-600,000 if you were to negate RMT and alt characters, although that would depend on when the last survey was taken. 2 months into HW it would probably shift towards the lower end there.
