Unofficial Census 2016 for FFXIV

[Remus]

2016 Census

Was watching State of the Realm and thought people should see some of the information that was gathered. This data is based on Story Progression, Alexander Savage Progression and Yokai Watch. This information was gathered through achievements and minions.

This information isn't official but its nice to look at it.

This post explains it pretty well.

To be a bit more thorough on the way that the person gathers the info (if it is the same person who has done the last few and using the same method) it is done by scraping the lodestone with 2 passes.

Active is determined to be any CHARACTER (as it is impossible to determine account association at this time) above level 10 that has had any change at all to their lodestone profile between the previous unofficial census and either of the 2 passes through the PUBLICLY available lodestone data. This includes any new minions , mounts, a change of job, any gain of levels, any new achievments, or even a single change in gear. So in order to be listed as inactive you need to have not done anything at all since April (the last time they did this) making it a fairly accuracte gauge for the number of active characters. Keep in mind that this means that if someone were to have multiple characters that they are active on this would count as more than 1 therefor the active subs are less than the total of active characters (though I would say probably less than 10% of people have played actively on 2+ chracters so it should be within negligible amounts)

I have to say alex clears make me sad...

Go ahead and discuss.
