I know this say Dec 2018, but i'm curious how accurate it "really" is. Any know if this is a trusted representation of the game today as far as class breakdowns/races/etc?

Thanks in advance!

One would assume that it's as accurate as a 3rd party can get just by scanning the lodestone. It's probably as good as you're gonna get. The only way to verify how accurate it "really" is would require something to compare it to, sooooo... take the results with a grain of salt, I guess.

I don't understand what the "class distribution" section is expressing though. Is it the classes that a character has unlocked (this is what it seems to be, but why would anyone care about this)? The classes that a character has leveled to a certain level (if so, what level)? The class that a character happens to be displayed on (a rather pointless metric)?

Woah, i had no idea the server distributions were THAT bad. I thought maybe the higher pop servers would have around twice the lower pop ones.
This herd mentality really is an issue, i hope the world visit thing brings some balance.

This herd mentality really is an issue,

I don't think you know what herd mentality is. A place being more populated is a naturally occurring thing.

And that's not how the server distribution really is. It's likely they haven't finished compiling the data for the month. November seems to be incomplete, but October is more accurate.

When its 'everyone should join Ragnarok cause thats where everyone is' then it's not 'natutal'.

When its 'everyone should join Ragnarok cause thats where everyone is' then it's not 'natutal'.

I've literally never heard anyone say "everyone should join [server] because that's where everyone is'. I've heard "hey I'm gonna join [server] because that's where my friend is" or "I heard there's a good raiding FC on [server] so maybe I'll go there". Don't be dramatic.

snip.

Honestly before the cross world party finder was introduced, Balmung was very popular and not solely because of being RP orientated but because it was easy to find more people to do things with (and a few other worlds too). I knew several people that moved to there for that reason, but didn't mind leaving after more cross world stuff was added. Sure we might have friends on other worlds, but unless you have no commitment on your current world like a house, then very few people would move just for that sole reason alone and raiding can be PF'd anyway static or none.

Lol we are such a tiny server love it.

[GrenGarm]

I'm not convinced it reflects actual play time. I see Red Mages everywhere, all the time. There's no way they are one of the least played jobs according to those numbers.

[HyoMinPark]

Fairly certain that site is not accurate. A lot of the numbers listed are way off, in my opinion.
