It makes sense aura don't look popular by census numbers. All those characters created by players at the start of 2.0 and who quit during the first free month are still there. This alone is probably a ton of characters because most sales with video games usually happen within first days of the games release. All those characters created on free trials are still here. Same for characers who belong to anyone who got ARR for cheap sale and then didn't stay for long because they got bored. None of these players had access to au ra.
