At first glance, it seems to be roughly the same as LuckyBanchos Lodestone census, except that the latter counts people above level 20 with a change as "active players" whereas this one only sees people who completed 3.3 as "active players". The numbers for that criterion roughly add up (It was 225457 in the LuckyBanchos census and is 232647 in this - that could simply be explained by more people clearing it).
Interesting difference: This one counts 112,570 JP players having 3.3 completed, LuckyBanchos showed 112710. That...I don't know how that can be explained, really.

It also sheds some light on aspects Lucky Banchos left out entirely, such as race distribution. Also: An alarming number of total bots, what with the vast majority of characters having no GC affiliation (Though this likely includes banned bots and the glitch copies as well?).

Interesting and some new aspects. Also much easier on the eye than the other census. Can't really say it's more or less accurate without knowledge about how the data was generated, tho.
