playerbase down 25% in 4 months?

[Dargoth_Draconia]

So apparantely someone made a post on the JP forums and made a lodestone crawler to check active players over the last 4 months, they found that around 25% have stopped logging on, even once in the last 4 month period from when they started scanning. Thats a large loss during free mode when they are still updating the game, that means those 25% didn't even bother to log in after updates to check stuff out.

Link to the original JP post in that topic.

I know about 15 people alone that don't plan on coming back to play until 1.20 comes out or after that. So these numbers aren't surprising, but there was a lot of people who did come back for 1.18 myself included. Which I don't play as much as I used to but I still get on several times a week.
